Target

{Missoni for Target Sweater, Club Monaco Skirt, Givenchy Heels (similar), Vintage Earrings, Forever 21 Clutch & Sunglasses}

In a completely unplanned turn of events, I’m posting my third blue outfit in a row this week.  Let’s see how long I can keep up the blue streak!

I ordered this sweater online the day the Missoni for Target collection became available (before the infamous site crash).  Unfortunately I got an email the following day stating the item was on backorder, and I didn’t receive it until about a week ago.  To be honest, I was a little nervous about its arrival.  Why?  Because in the month or so that I waited for my sweater to ship, I saw numerous people wearing some of the other pieces in real life and… let’s just say I was less than impressed.

Fortunately, I wound up really liking my sweater once it finally arrived.  The quality is pretty decent, and the design is kind of funky and unusual (especially the sleeves, which I LOVE).  I have to admit that I’m glad most of the other items were already sold out when I made my purchase, because I think I could have easily gotten caught up in the frenzy and overspent on some lackluster pieces.  And let’s be real guys, I’d much rather scour eBay and score an authentic vintage or second-hand Missoni piece (like this scarf).

And what about you all?  Did you purchase anything from this collection, and if so, how do you feel about it now that the madness has died down?
