Cheap Chic: Target Toss Pillows
I started a little rant on Tuesday about how most magazines only highlight products that are way out of the average American’s budget. It’s great to get ideas from high-end stuff, but I beg the editors to show us alternative versions that the average Jane can afford and easily find. Until they catch on, I’ll make it my mission to seek out chic and affordable items for our wardrobes and homes. These finds won’t involved stalking your local Goodwill or trying to imagine what something would look like if only it was warm enough to break out the spray paint. I work full-time, have a baby, and have never had any luck at Goodwill. Furthermore, I don’t have the patience or time to sew and paint every weekend, and I enjoy watching TV. I suspect that many of you fall into this category as well.
So here’s the first installation of “Cheap Chic”: pretty pillows from Target to lighten up your bed or sofa.
Embroidered Geometric Pillow, $19.99
Mum Pillow, $24.99
Texas Toss Pillow, $19.99
Medallion Pillow, $14.99
Prices are valid as of Feb 1, 2011.
I would love to learn about more stores – either brick and mortar or online – where you score pretty things (tee-hee!) at prices that don’t give you goosebumps. Please send links my way! And if you spot something gorgeous, let me know and I’ll feature it!
Our family room couch and our guest bed have throw pillows from Target — I LOVE them. We also have some from West Elm and Crate and Barrel that weren’t much more expensive. Love this series idea!
I’ll let you know if I have any brilliant discoveries.
I have to admit that I’ve seen some nice looking pillows on Target’s site, but they don’t live up to the image quality wise. The fabric isn’t always very nice and usually they don’t have zippers for easy cleaning. I guess you have to pay a little more for quality. My best solution is to look for sales at stores I know I can trust to have excellent quality at good prices, West Elm, Crate and Barrel and PB.
