Missoni, the aftermath

Finally I am able to get this post up on Missoni for Target. I was there at 7:55 (opened at 8) and things were not stocked. I spoke with a manager on Sunday prior to the launch and was told they had to have everything up by 8am per corporate. I let the manager know that I had been to other launches, and wanted to know if things would be ready because I didn’t have time to watch them stock at 8am. Lucky for me, that same manager was there. She apologized of course and took ownership of what she could. I cant understand how Target missed the mark on this. Things were sold out online by the time we all arrived at Target that morning which was a total shock. Not to mention the site crashed. People love Missoni. Just think if this was Louis Vuitton for Target. People would be sleeping at the door like Black Friday.

In my opinion the things really were nice. After all this is Missoni for Target, not Missoni for Anthropologie. The price points were good for what they offered. The luggage was actually very nice, and I hate I didn’t pick up a piece. The throw is what I really wanted, and it never showed up. But it is on EBAY for $200.00, and was sold in stores for $39. NOT. I didn’t want to overdo it with picking items, because I think Missoni looks best in pieces because of the colors/patterns.  I also didn’t want to buy just to buy. Not everything was needed, and not everything goes with my home. I really am not sure if the pillow below will stay. We shall see. Other than that, I am happy with what I have. I would love a throw (IF ANYONE HAS ONE) to complete my wish list, pencils, and just one picture frame, and all would be good.

These chevron tights are by far one of my favorite picks from the collection. My husband actually picked these over another blue pair. The blue in person is just eye catching. Think 80’s blue eyeliner, but “GOOD”. I bought these in black as well. They were $16, and wonderful quality. I hope your able to see the color in these photos.


This is what my local store looks like….
