As a Cubicle Chick, I am always on the look out for inexpensive clothing that is both fashion forward and comfortable to wear. I may have abandoned the cubicle to work at home but I have still like to dress savvy when I am on the move blogging in my personal workspace or hitting up cafes for wifi. House of Dereon designer (and Beyonce’s mama) Tina Knowles recently announced a new clothing line for the “everyday woman” who wants to look sharp as a tack, but if the line looks like the photos I have seen, I am not impressed.
Tina Knowles’ ‘Miss Tina’ line is now in Wal-mart locations across the country and are supposedly for the ‘Cubicle Chick’ in all of us. But there isn’t much about this line that I like. Somewhat Peg Bundy-esque, the fabric print choices and looks left much to the imagination. While trying too hard, I think Tina has missed the mark. (For the record, Tina made me smile with the black crop jacket pictured below. I have to give her props for that haute-ness!)
Below are some pictures of a few pictures of the ‘Miss Tina’ line from her visit to a Wal-mart store in Los Angeles. Take a look for yourself and let me know what you think!

I think I’d have to go touch them to see what’s what. I saw some boots from her line earlier this year on HSN (or was it QVC??) and was not impressed. They were just flat out ugly and sent me into a Twitter roast of epic proportions! LOL!
I like the animal print dress pictured above and I can see myself wearing something like that. But if the fabric is uncomfortable or cheap-looking, I’d probably pass on it.
PBG, I can so see you rocking that leopard print dress with some killer facepaint. You would be killin em!
Doesn’t anything for me, either. When Tina was on Ellen last week, she said she wanted a line more suited to her tastes and those of women her age.
I haven’t seen much that I liked either, but my mom wants to go to Wal-Mart to view her “collection” and as a fashion/lifestyle blogger it’s my duty to go and check it out, lol. So I agreed that we would go and take a peek, But from what I’ve seen, I agree that I’m just not that impressed. My mother is 51, and she has some other Miss Tina pieces that she received as a gift that she really liked. The Miss Tine line is a little older looking for my taste and the Dereon line is too young and cheap for my taste. They need to find a common ground because Miss Tina and Beyonce are both to fab for some of the foolishness they are putting out. But that’s JMO.

I saw her on the Today Show and I went on the Walmartt website. There was a dress and a tunic that I liked but like someone said I’d have to feel the material. Unfortunately we do not have Walmart in the immediate NYC area so I’ll probably just have to order it online. (on black Friday and hope it is on sale)
how can judge the material if you haven’t bought the dress. i have the leopard dress and her velour track suit. the leapord dress is airy, feels like a combo of cotton, poly and spandex. not uncomfortable at all and figure flattering. i lover velour suits also. i bought her clothes from hsn and hated them, but i really like this walmart line. also walmart has norma karmali.
