I was a victim..Of Missoni Madness!!

Hey, have you heard the news? Missoni has designed an exclusive line for Target, and its only going to be there for a month, so everyone is going innnsaaaannnnnneeee!!!!!  Im teasing, OF COURSE you heard about Missoni and Target, if you are connected to the Social Media Highway AT ALL,  then you have been hit with millions of tweets, ending in the hash tag #Missonifortarget.  Its Missoni Madness up in here y’all!!

I’m not going to lie, Missoni isn’t even one of my favorite designers, BUT, I do appreciate the distinct flair, and love a bold color print! What intrigued me about this line for Target, were the Home goods!! I was lucky enough to get a little sneak peak at a few of the amazing items, and let me just tell you, the shower curtain alone ( which, I was going to make into Roman shades, by the way!! Killer, right?) was enough to make me skip my typical coffee run and head straight to my local Tarjay!

So here is my story.  I got there, at 8:07am, the store opens at 8am…I was thinking I was early, I was thinking I would have the pick of Home goods, and maybe, just maybe even buy a pillow or two.
 ( I wasn’t interested in the sweaters that every single mama from here to Florida is going to be wearing) I walked right in, not too bad, I thought to myself, UNTIL I saw the MASS HYSTERIA unfold in front of me!!!! ( Remember it had been 7 Minutes since the store opened)  People had 2 carts each, FILLED with things like Luggage, and pillows and sweaters, there were carts filled with 2 or 3 of the exact same dress and Chevron Panties flying like little birdies off the shelves!! One lady was screaming at her mom ( this is no joke) that her mom had “TOTALLY SCREWED UP!! SHE WANTED THE BLUE STRIPED FRAMES NOT THE RED STRIPED FRAMES AND NOW THERE AREN’T ANY LEFT!” …where the HELL was I??? it was CUH-RAE-zee…I too, got caught up in the whole thing…before I knew it, I was scrambling to get the last coffee mug..no luck..Grabbing Missoni Note cards off the shelf because it was THE LAST ONE OH MY GAWWDDD!!!! Forget about the shower curtain, there was NOT one left, also there were no dishes, no bedding, and no shoes left. The store had been ravaged in a matter of minutes. I saw some cool Missoni prints framed, and in an instant of sanity, I decided I was NOT going to spend $35, instead I would spend $7.99 on a pack of Missoni file folders, cut them up, and frame them myself, all of sudden, I was Missoni’s biggest fan!! HAHAHA!!!
I felt like that person on Black Friday, who doesn’t even need a 52″ TV, but then you see all the crazies in Walmart beating each other up because the darn thing is only $200, and suddenly you are positive that YOU need one…..that’s what I felt like.. By this time it was 8:20, since I had to be at work in 10 mins, I decided I had enough, cut my losses ( no coffee cup 🙁 and  check out….( ps. if my boss is reading this, highly unlikely, I’m just kidding, I wasn’t at Target this morning, Traffic was just REALLY bad…that’s why I was 10 mins late)

As I was standing in line, the girl in front of me had a coffee mug, I asked where she got it, she handed it to me and said, Do you want it? I don’t even like the colors, I just got caught up in the whole thing!! I laughed right out loud and pulled an Elaine from Seinfeld.”I KNOW!” I said entirely way to loud! It was so nice of her, and I was so excited ( um….why do I need another coffee cup? I have 1,000)
So $29 dollars, and 20 minutes later, I walked out of the crazy store, a little bit happier because I got a piece to the EXCLUSIVE Missoni..for Target…LOL!!!! Here’s what I got

The notecards

The mug

The File Folders/Prints to be framed

A note holder, because I need one of those!

DID YOU GO???
