i still don't understand any of this commotion for shit that makes you look like a Floridian retiree's tablecloth.

I think some of the pieces are cute in small doses, and paired with less "loud" accessories, but yeah, I do not understand the hype. A friend of mine has a closet filled with nothing but LP and I can't help but cringe.

I had to look up what all this was when I saw so many posts about this. I can't get into a design that looks like Lisa Frank threw up on a Georgia O'Keefe painting.

[karinothing]

That is how Target always handles these releases.

[cherryvalance]

SURPRISE.

Target gives no fucks.

[humpty]

The release date should have been April first. lol

The outrage is amusing me.

[idoinjuly]

That's fucking nuts.

My college roommate was from Princeton, NJ. The girl wore nothing but LP. She was so proud of it too and thought she was just the coolest. I never quite understood why.

According to CNN there are 30,000 listings on eBay

This makes me hate people so much. Hopefully there is such an influx of product that buyers can pick and choose and prices don't get inflated too much.

One of the dresses was listed for $90

Not even 2 hours - like 3 minutes at some stores.

[cherry1111]

I just looked and some of those dresses have been bid up to over $100. Why???

Honestly if you are willing to pay that much for a freaking dress from Target you deserve to be separated from your money.

A college friend posted no fewer than SIX times about this yesterday. I don't get it, except that she did say that because she us plus sized, she hasn't had much of a chance to ever buy one of these special collections or the "real" LP, so she had really been looking forward to this.

You'd think they would just go and spend that money on the "real" thing. But I don't think they're thinking lol.

That's the thing. Once we are going upwards of $100 you are getting close to paying for the boutique version (sale price or certainly consignment price). I mentioned this in one of the other threads but the warehouse sale prices are lower than the eBay ones right now! I know not everyone has access to the warehouse sale though.

Yes. This is part of the reason there is uproar about this.

I can't wear regular LP stuff. I don't like everything, but some of the tamer stuff I do like. Target has been my only chance to grab it. I woke up at 2am on Sunday in order to find stuff, and I still wasn't able to get a few things I wanted. And the plus size stuff wasn't in store, so online was our only option- which sucked because the site kept crashing.

People are all "just shop a sample sale!" or "do nordstroms and use ebates!"....but again, if they don't have your size, it does you no good.

While Target clearly gives no fucks, they (and LP) are actually losing out on a small segment of the market with this approach. I wasn't familiar w/ LP before this. And looking at it online, I've been kind of "meh" about it. BUT I thought I'd check their stuff out once the hoopla dies down. Maybe in person something would appeal to me.

But as all the LP crazies made sure to buy up EVERYTHING, clearly this won't be happening. So, I will remain a LP non-lover.

It's total bs they didn't stock the plus sizes in store.

It looks like Black Friday.

To be fair, bedding takes up a lot of space. Lol

That's what I was thinking. This lady doesn't look nearly as crazy as a pic I saw on IG where someone had at LEAST 20 hangers hanging off the back of her full cart.

I am more put off by her excessive use of labels in her outfit But I agree cushions are bulky and it looks like she could be outfitting her own personal patio to match her jacket. It's different than sweeping a rack to get 15 of every dress

For anyone who is mourning LP, here you go.

I did want a dress b/c I'm going to a DW in Mexico in Nov and I thought it would be perfect for one night at dinner. We're also going to Hawaii in a year or two so it would work there. A $38 dress would have been perfect. Now I'm seeing it on Ebay for $80+. No thank you. Surely I can find something "beachy" for less. I do not care about the name b/c I've never even hear of LP before this madness.

[pantsparty]

At this point I kind of feel embarrassed to have been a part of this mania. LOL.
