Isaac Mizrahi’s Target line has some great retro-style dresses this season. In case you haven’t seen his Target collection, it’s really something. Cute dresses perfect for wearing to those outdoor spring weddings. Retro classic styles that work now and years from now. Best of all, they’re all under fifty bucks

Here are a few of my favorites:

This yellow cap sleeve dress has an adorable side bow and a flattering a-line skirt. It’s very similar to a style I saw at Banana Republic just a few weeks ago. Target also carries this style in black for a more classic look. I’d probably wear it to a backyard bbq (I actually think it would be perfect for Easter, but I’d have to wait a year for that…)

Ooh, I love this retro style dress in “fandago red.” Very pretty for a backyard wedding, spring party, or a dressy bridal shower. Don’t you just want to put it on and twirl in front of a mirror? Or is that just me?

I’m not a huge fan of floral patterns, but I rather like this simple feminine dress. Probably a piece I’d feel comfortable wearing to church, the office, or other conservative places.

There are a lot of gorgeous retro swimsuits in stores this season. These one-pieces are perfect for wearing to a more conservative event, for hiding a bit of bulge, or for achieving a glamorous, classy look.
