Fashion Warriors

All for the love of fashion, the mini fashionista and I got ourselves into line this morning at our local Target to check out the Missoni Collection. There was already a crowd of women when I arrived at about 7:40. The first 4 women in line are what I like to call shopping warriors! They were armed with walkie talkies, coffee and most importantly a game plan! 


And in the end, they were victorious! Way to go ladies! Is that bike not to die for?


I have to admit I have never seen women move so quickly. It reminded me of that show Supermarket Sweep (you know you watched it)! People were clearing the shelves with one swoop of the arm. It was pretty ridiculous!


And in less than 20 minutes, the shelves looked like this! 



After all that, I did manage to walk away with some pretty great stuff, especially for the mini fashionista. Stay tuned for a post later today of my purchases!

  1. Ummmm, they do know it's not actual Missoni, right? I think those throw-back 70s knit stripes are duh-fugly. And now everyone can advertise they shop at Target. Congrats.

  2. By the way these woman were moving you would think it was the real stuff. There was a 70+ year old woman there who said she has real Missoni and thought it would be nice to have some of the Target. I told her she is better off with the real stuff.

  3. That's how it was at my store, but they didn't even have the signs up yet. People had their carts stacked high with stuff to resell, which I think is crappy. They should limit them to a few of each item.

    I got the laptop sleeve I wanted, and the ballet flats, but the scarves were sold out in 5 minutes. However, the manager said there's an additional truck coming tonight :)

  4. Good to know about the truck! I definitely won't be going back as I already spent way too much money!

  5. Too funny, and that bike is darling! Lilly and I were there this morning too but got there an hour after the store opened. There was a good bit cleared but I still found a lot!

  6. Glad you found some things Chassity! I would imagine that in the weeks to come a lot of the stuff will be returned as people decided what they do and do not want.

  7. :) I just saw your post, Regs! I can't wait to see the loot you got! I stayed away from this one after wasting a lot of money getting caught up in the moment at the Liberty launch! hehe

  8. So excited!! And don't be so sour Poe, because the line was fabulous and even the employees who work in the designer clothing departments at nordstrom are wearing the items! So much for advertising you're wearing target. Seems no one really cares!!!
