#LillyForTarget Link-Up!

     Today is the day! My blog bestie Michaela (from The Monogrammed Midwesterner) and I are hosting our link-up themed around the Lilly Pulitzer for Target collection.

Dress: Lilly Pulitzer for Target {sold out} || Coat: H&M || Shoes: Marshall's || Earrings: Versona Accessories || Bracelet: Charming Charlie || Nails: {Gel acrylics done for Black Diamond Formal} || Lips: L'Oreal for Lilly Pulitzer for Target Lip Gloss in Rose Melody

    First off- sorry for not putting links in the above description for anything that I'm wearing! I'm writing this post very late the night before it goes live as today was a very busy day with school, and right now I'm just feeling a little lazy. ;-) Plus- everything that I'm wearing here is either sold out or super old- so I don't think y'all are missing that much! (At the end of the post I did link some new Lilly Pulitzer signature dresses that I'm loving though!)

     So my Lilly for Target shopping experience was one for the books. I decided to completely avoid even trying to buy anything online, as I had a feeling the website might crash (and it did!). Instead, I wanted the in-store experience. I got to my local Target about half and hour before it opened, at 6:30 (mine is a Target that opens at 7 a.m.). Already between 100-200 people were in line! By the time the doors opened, there were probably 300 people. I have done Black Friday shopping for eight consecutive years now, and I have never experienced anything like when the doors opened! They let everyone in at once, and everyone just RAN FOR THEIR LIVES. 

     I went to clothing first, and was somehow able to snag two dresses! I really wanted the set of Lilly printed mugs from home goods though, but by the time that I ran to that part of the store literally everything was gone! I think that everything was sold off our display shelves at my Target in under 10 mins- crazy! I also ended up with the pineapple sandals in my cart, but after trying them on I didn't find them to be very comfortable so I left them behind. I also was able to snag one of the L'Oreal for Lilly lip glosses though, (I'm wearing it in this post!) and I love it!! I wish I had bought more in other colors.

    Also- I have been wearing this coral H&M coat on repeat lately!! I got it last spring, and I forgot how much of a perfect coat that it is for this season. It coordinates well with so many of my favorite sundresses, and I just feel like it really pulls an outfit together for this time of year! Such a staple piece.
