Zigzagged daze

Did you go to Target yesterday? If not, you're the only one. I stopped by one store in the afternoon (you know, for the blog) and the Missoni displays were completely empty. Evidently, they were empty within the first hour. I was a little surprised since I was in a part of town that required specific "accessories" (i.e. pepper spray), so I went to one closer to home and managed to find a few remnants of the morning Missoni madness.

Here's what I left with:

Above: big floppy brown hat, brown/gold sleeveless shell, girls' rain boots, girls' ballet flats, nesting bowls. The girls' stuff is so cute, I was wishing I had a daughter at that moment. Or would my son notice that I dressed him in a pink capelet and matching skirt? Hmmm...

Honestly, I doubt I'm keeping any of it. I just got zigzagged tunnel vision when I saw the bright orange tags, bargain prices, and limited quantity (hello, marketing sucker here). So if you want any of it, email me. The top is XS, the shoes are girls' size 4. I know, redic. I'm a womens sz 6 and those rain boots run huge. The flats are pretty tight, but the back is elastic so there is some stretch. Oh who am I kidding - I'm just used to tight shoes from having my feet bound as a young Chinese girl. (Kidding. Really.)

What do you think about Missoni for Target? Did you find anything?

Missoni for Target

I know everyone's talking about it, but I had to jump on the zigzagged bandwagon because

I WANT EVERYTHING.

I usually don't go crazy for the designer collaborations for Target because the last few purchases have a been a major fail.  I know it's Target, not Barney's, but even Forever 21 doesn't shrink or fade as much as Target clothing.  So I may pass on the shrinkables - but the scarves, blanket, cups and saucers, bags, laptop case, neckties (which I will use as a belt), baby onesie (I don't have a daughter, but in case I do) and the bike...ohhhh, the bike!  I don't care if it's 114 degrees for the 39th day in a row, I will ride that bike around til my thighs chafe off.  Can't wait to see the full 400+ piece collection in stores next month!
