#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.


     If you have blogged about your Lilly for Target experience or have shared an outfit of you wearing one of your purchases from the collection, please join Michaela and I in linking up for the #LillyForTarget link-up!

  1. What a fun link-up! I decided to do the whole online thing since my nearest Target is about 30 minutes away and I didn't want to miss church that Sunday! I managed to get two shifts, the Nosie Posey maxi, the weekender, and a satin dress :)

  2. Aww this dress is so cute on you!
    This is one of the ones I was debating on getting because the flamingos are too cute.

  3. So wish I would have been able to participate today but by the time I got to the sale all that was left was the very last lipgloss and candle votives - I did so not realize the back zipper on the target line dresses were so darling. LOVE!

  9. I wish I could have snagged something from Lilly for Target! This dress is absolutely darling, and the pineapple is such a cute touch. Love it!

  10. I love the way you styled that shift! I didn't get anything in the Fan Dance print because yellow + pale skin does not look very good to me! But lucky for you, you aren't pale and completely pull it off! So glad you did this link-up!
