3.1 Phillip Lim For Target

Phillip Lim is the latestest fashion designer to collaborate with Target® to bring out a full line of affordable menswear, womenswear and accessories. The items range from $19.99 (for a man's pocket tee) to $299.99 (for a man's leather jacket - wait for it to go on sale), and the goods are available at Target stores and online now for a limited time (meaning they will sell out fast!).

Lim says he strives to put "street elegance" into his clothing. I call his style casual smart since he is known for crossing dressy with casual in his collections. Most of his clothing can go from the office to a night out on the town. His collections are always practical, comfortable and chic, without the fuss.

It's worth a browse to spot a few trendy, budget friendly articles. Mixing and matching cheap and expensive pieces is how you can create your own style. I often do it, and end up getting compliments on my inexpensive pieces, which is fun. 

Many times the quality of the merchandise is surprisingly good. I picked up a Liberty of London For Target® cotton dress (lined and embroodered for $24 bucks), which still looks new after 3 years of wear. So don't be afraid to mix it up.
