If for some reason you have been living under a rock for the past week let me explain...
Target released their Missoni line on Tuesday and by the time Rachel, Piper, and I made it there the racks were completely wiped out. It literally looked they were never even stocked. Believe me when I say it was a MAJOR BUMMER. How was I to know that people were gonna go all Black Friday style kah-razy over this?
See what I mean?
Well if I would have had my crystal ball handy to know that people were going to be throwing stuff all willy nilly in their baskets just so they could rush home to list it on eBay you better believe I would have skipped school to get my hands these beauties.
I wanted this bike soooooo bad but it sold out within minutes!
The collection was supposed to be in stores until early December but I read somewhere online that the stores would not be restocked according to early reports from Target, only the website. That’s fine by me as long as they restock those shoes and the scarf that Rachel wants.
Can you tell that my big puffy heart for Target has deflated a little bit?
I feel like I should write them a letter. I definitely think that when they do these designer collaborations there should be a quantity limit. I just don’t think its right that people were listing it on eBay. It takes all the fun out of it for the rest of us. The same thing happened when they released the Liberty of London collection last year. If you're keeping track that means Target has two strikes in my book.
So I guess the silver lining in all of this is that our bank account (and my husband) can breathe a sigh of relief that my Missoni dreams were dashed. Chris talked to his friend the other night and he said his bank account wasn’t so lucky. His wife took him to the store with her for an extra pair of hands. That’s my kind of shopper.
If you’re wondering what the big fuss is about, feast your eyes...
I was able to get a few things luckily…
a mug for work, an accordion file for school, a set of stationary (because we all know I am a hoarder of stationary), and two boxes for my craft room. See:
The shower curtain is still available...so shout out to everyone that has me on their Christmas Shopping List consider this your not so subtle hint.
You may be asking yourself the Moral of the Story. Well here it is:
Peeps be crazy for Missoni!
(well said YHL)…
What were you lusting over? Were you one of the lucky few to get what they wanted?
