3.1 Phillip Lim for Target: The Pros and Cons of Living in a Small Town

I’ve been anticipating the launch of the 3.1 #Phillip LimforTarget Collection  since I’ve laid eyes on the look book. I made a list, checked it twice, and I was prepared to shop. I also stalked every style blogger  and editor who shopped the #PhillipLimforTarget pre-launch event  during New York Fashion Week.

After reading the reviews I figured the collection ran big so I planned to grab two of everything, my size and a size down.  Two of everything? Yes, Sweeties  one of the perks of living in a small town, nothing sells out.  After getting up at the crack of dawn for the Prabal Gurung for Target  launch, I refused to get up early again. I was the only person in the women’s department and they didn’t  get the sweatshirt I wanted.

So I got to #Target  around 2:30 Sunday afternoon and the racks were still full.

I immediately  grabbed a small and extra small in the “Boom” sweatshirt.  That was my one  ” MUSTHAVE”, but I had a few more items on my list. So here’s the down side of living in a small town.  My Target store didn’t get half  of the collection.

When It came to the leopard pieces in the collection, we got the scarf and the flirty skirt.

I wanted the leopard print body-con dress and sweatshirt, the tuxedo style blue and black pants, and two  leather paneled dress.

Since I did  get the super cute and  stylish “Boom ” sweatshirt I headed to the fitting room . I needed to make sure I needed the small or extra-small.  The small worked and I gave the extra small to my friend who came along for the shopping trip.

Because my Target didn’t get the #PhillipLimforTarget tuxedo pants I picked these cute black and white pants and called it a day. They were only $11, so I couldn’t complain.

Overall I was happy with my shopping experience. I plan to go back and grab the rest online. I checked and they still have a few more pieces in so shop the collection below:

Sweeties, did you shop the #PhillipLimforTarget collection, what did you snag?
