If You Survived #LillyForTarget, This Is What You Saw
After impatiently awaiting the arrival of Lilly Pulitzer for Target, pink Sunday finally arrived. We headed out to our nearest Target with our game faces on — we would stop at nothing to get the tropical-print goodies we had been lusting over for months. Sound familiar?
Across the country, women braved the long lines and chaotic checkouts to get a piece of the iconic brand's Summer-worthy collaboration. So what did it take to actually survive? We rounded up photos of what it was really like to make it through the melee. Be prepared, because this isn't for the faint of heart. And be advised — if you missed out on the fun, you can still shop for your favorite pieces on eBay, but the markup may be a little steep.
