Finally! It's over! After several days of anxiety over how Target.com would handle their next designer collaboration, 11:00 pm chicago time rolled around and the non-stop refreshing party began. It wasn't nearly as bad as I had anticipated. Although they still haven't gotten all the bugs worked out of their system (the search page always came up with errors any time you typed in anything with the words 'jason wu' in it) there were plenty of helpful people on their Target Style facebook page and twitter page consistently linked to items as they appeared on the website in seemingly random pages. Instead of putting all the items up online at once, they started slowly filtering in the items through strategic places on the website like the 'accessories' page and the 'women's clothing' main page. One clever Target shopper eventually figured out if you type the words "Jason Wu for Target" with quotations around it in the search engine, the entire collection appeared! I managed to snag the four items posted above and went to bed before 2 a.m! Total success! I do wish I had grabbed a sleeveless pleated blouse in yellow, but I'll live without it. I feel bad for the many people who shared their stories of heartless ebay scalpers clearing out shelves at Target early this morning, or those who were frustrated by Target's wonky sale style this morning online.
Those who didn't get what they wanted, don't despair! People ordered multiple sizes, and are sure to return things in the next week or so. I've spotted Missoni for Target items online in the clearance section. Some items might be restocked on Target.com later this week! Also, watch this incredibly attractive commercial staring some very attractive men to help heal your shopping wounds of missing french new waive attractiveness.
Yeah, you're welcome.
