Heavenly Temple look by Patrick Robinson for Target, featuring the Linen Vest in Kona, $24.99, and the Short-Sleeve Woven Shirt in Angel Food, $19.99

Patrick Robinson for Target is now available, and this stuff is simple--nothing very exciting and probably some nice staples for your summer wardrobe. It's kind of like an edited version of the Mossimo collection.

The outfit above is a good example of the problem with the collection. It could easily go two ways: "cute if a bit overdone," or "medieval kitchen wench." Do you really want to gamble with those odds?

Then there's this.

Denim Cargo Pants in Dark Wash by Patrick Robinson for Target, $39.99

What is going on? Did I drink too much tequila, get in a time machine, and travel back to 1999?

Reversible Tank in Granite/Oxford New Blue by Patrick Robinson for Target, $16.99

Twill-Tape Tank in Oxford New Blue/Ebony by Patrick Robinson for Target, $14.99

The tanks, however, could easily be season-long favorites, especially at these prices. Of course, I wouldn't expect them to last any longer than one season, either.

P.S. This means Proenza Schouler for Target is on clearance.

Pleated Underwire Top in Ebony by Proenza Schouler for Target, $11.89

If you're busty (XL) but still have the bod for a bikini, run, don't walk, to target.com and score the Proenza Schouler pleated underwire top and pleated scoop bottom bathing suit for a mere $11.89 each. I promise it doesn't look as much like a bra in person--it's completely classy, cute and sleek.

Short Sleeve Sweatshirt in Heather Gray by Proenza Schouler for Target, $12.59

Also, I'm not gonna lie--I kind of want this sweatshirt. I know it's not particularly cute, plus if you need a sweatshirt, why would you want it to have short sleeves? Here's the truth: I want to spend $12 bucks and be able to wear something that says Proenza Schouler on the front. Is that so wrong?
