Miss Trish of Capri for Target

Love them or hate them … the ‘for Target’ lines certainly keep things interesting for anyone on a budget.
Today’s question regards your image of the perfect summer sandal. Do you love a neutral, classic design that will support a flirty summer outfit without being the focus of attention? If so, the hot-selling Miss Trish of Capri for Target are probably not for you.
On the other hand, if you love a loud, seasonal sandal that shouts out “Here I am!”, this guest-designer line at Target may be just the thing for a more adventurous shoe personality.
Understand, at the Target price-point, these are not all-leather shoes; and they tend to be on the aggressive and shiny side. Having given that warning, they are also better looking in real life than the official online stock photos would suggest. And, after finding only 6 lonely boxes left at my local Target this weekend, they are apparently finding an appreciative shopping audience and are selling out fast.
Available styles are:
This is, color aside, about as conservative as this line comes. Not for the shy, these designs.
Turtle Wedge Sandals ($34.99):
… yes those are pink rhinestone turtles, thank you very much; I did say, ‘Not for the Shy’, didn’t I?
… these are almost conservative compared to the hot-pink wedges we just saw.
… these are just screaming for a jaunt to the beach.
… I’m not even sure what to say about these; for some reason Charles Dickens immediately springs to mind.
Bee Toe-ring Sandals ($29.99):
… I’m actually kind of digging the whole queen-bee over the top vibe on this; kitschy and corny, but fun.
Flower Toe-ring Sandals ($29.99):
… And I must admit, these cuties are also making me smile.
So, what do you think? Are these too glam-tastic for your taste? Or, are they just that crazy touch of fun needed to push you into that full-fledged summer vay-cay mood? Target certainly got the memo that color is king this year.

I was shopping with my tween for shoes for a Semi formal and saw that Target had the miss Trish or Carpi sandals…I have purchased mine from Bergdorf Goodman and LOVE them.
Target actually did a nice job with the line. I did purchase a pair of the lizard sandals, I can tell the difference as the lizard is not as ornate as it should be but still a great value!
