This particular Target didn’t have the beauty section either, even though it is a “high volume” Target. I managed to snag a few scarves, which I had to literally snatch out from in front of a few ladies (sorry). One straw bag in each color available, one of each scarf (if even that). The accessories section was even more pathetic. That’s it! Considering the hype and endless commercials for this collection on my Hulu app, I really thought they’d stock more than that in a huge store. The items they had were palazzo pants, strapless romper, strapless maxi, some shorts, the rosey posey shirt and that’s it. This store had none, zero, shift dresses. One small rack for the Lilly Pulitzer clothes, let's say it was enough to fill one shopping cart (which is what happened). The clothing section was very, very small. Everyone ran, Black Friday style, into the store and it was a free-for-all after that. The doors were promptly opened at 8am, and that’s when the real fun began. One of items in the clothing/accessories section, one in beauty, and one in housewares. I had a small list of items I really wanted. They also were in cahoots with people on the phone at other Targets looking for the same items. They also very loudly discussed how many of each item they were after (enough of all the homeware dining items to seat 12, because “why bother if you don’t have 12”). The women in the front of the line came in a group, of six, and had divided up the store into sections, which they would take on in teams (yay for the rest of us single shoppers!). There was a sense of camaraderie, that you’re all crazy together - and for those brief moments before the doors opened you could forget you are probably about to elbow that nice lady in the throat.Īll of the early birds had a plan, which they loudly discussed. While in line, people started talking to each other, discussing their plans, what they were after. One person said they were there since 6:30 am (no thanks). There was already a line when I arrived, about 16 other women. Target stores open at 8am, and I managed to get myself there by 7:50.
