One nice thing about living in South Carolina is that I can get a ton of wear out of a dress like this. It was something like $44. I really couldn't get over the prices!!
Did anyone else hit up the After Party Sale?
What are your thoughts on LP doing a line for Target?
To be honest, I am not crazy about it. I do not think it will live up to the hype. I did the big Target craze for Missoni. At the time I was really disappointed that I didn't get more stuff. However, the things I did get wore out quickly and were cheaply made. I don't really know what I expected since it IS a line for Target. I also got a Philip Lim bag from Target when that collaboration came out, and it was absolutely terrible quality. The handles were tearing up within weeks of me having it.
I will probably go and get a few of the home items, such as the placemats and napkins when the line comes out, but I am not going to go crazy. It won't be the same quality, so it's just not worth it to me. I already feel like some items have gone downhill in quality since Lilly Pulitzer passed away. Some of the new items don't seem to be as well made as the older items I have. My grandmother started me on Lilly Pulitzer several years ago. My grandparents have always gone way overboard, and I am very grateful for that.
i didn't get anything during the sale, last fall i snagged a maxi dress at an unbelievable price and i've not worn it once. i'm a huge fan of the dresses but usually the ones i love are not work appropriate and i stick to the solid knit ones (but no new colors were out there this year) Im interested to see what they put in stores at Target. I've never purchased any of the designers items from Target and like you just don't think the quality and price are fair when most designers have fairly good seasonal sales. I'm not paying $50+ for a LP for Target dress when I can snag a real LP on the sales.
ReplyDeleteWell I am super excited for the LP line to come to Target, but you're right - I hope the quality doesn't change. That's a great price on the dress. I just bought our baby girl Kensington her first Lily dress, and it cost most than that - $48!
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way about Lilly at Target--I'm really excited for the home items, but I don't think the clothes will be good quality. I do think that the brand has gone a little downhill the last few years.
ReplyDeleteI had a decent amount of luck during the sale! It stays pretty hot here, so I'm always wearing Lilly from March-October. Obviously, I get tons of wear from it! Hope you're having a great week!
I'm excited for the Target collection, if only to see what sort of home items and accessories they have! It will only be for a short time though, so all the people that are so upset about it can take solace in that :)
