Missoni Mania

Today was the day!  The Missoni for Target line debuted in stores and on the Target.com website.  I strolled over to my Target store around 9:00 AM because I wanted to get this super cute cup and saucer set:

Nope.  Not there.  All I found were some empty shelves and frantic women running around and snagging everything they could get their hands on. The rain boots?  Gone!  The martini set?  Gone!  Forget about the cute bike.  It wasn’t even sent to the store.  BUT, I decided to head back to the women’s clothing department and get some goodies.  I snagged a bunch of things to try on and ended up with these:

The Textured Space Dye Gold Shimmer Cardigan

I bought the matching infinity scarf too.  I’ll wear them both with black pants, but I’ll also throw on the scarf with a casual jacket and jeans.

 

The Blue Open Cardigan

I actually love that this piece, and the previous piece, don’t look full-on Missoni.  There were a couple other sweaters with brighter colors and bolder zig zags, but I prefer the subtlety of these two.  I love this blue one to wear over a white tank with  jeans.

Annabel was my shopping buddy, so I had to take her to the little girls department.  (She was off from school today.  Lucky girl.) She picked this out.  She’ll be sporting this ensemble for Thanksgiving.

 The Purple Zig Zag Tunic Sweater Dress and Matching Leggings

Then, for some crazy reason, my daughter, who hates hats, wanted a hat.  We found a cute winter hat for $9.99 and she would not take it off.  It will go really well with her pink winter coat, so I threw it on the pile.

And I am the queen of the comfy blankie.  I scored the very last throw in the store.  I saw it sitting by itself on a random shelf in the bedding aisle, so I scooped it up.  I was so excited.  I love that one side of the throw is black and white and the reverse side is that signature Missoni print.

The Purple Fleece Throw Blanket

I’m still in search of my Missoni for Target cups and saucers.  I tried online, but the Target.com website crashed around 8:00 AM.  It was finally back up at dinner time.  But the cups and saucers?

SOLD OUT.

Did you buy anything from the Missoni for Target line today?  Or are you headed to eBay? (I’m tempted to bid on those gosh darn cups.)
