**SORRY. THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED BUT STAY TUNED FOR MORE FUN GIVEAWAYS!**
If you tried to go to Target first thing on Sunday morning, you may have encountered crazed shoppers fist-fighting one another over some brightly colored pillows, blankets, chairs, dresses and kids clothes. This episode of the “Preppy Hunger Games” you witnessed was actually the Lilly Pulitzer for Target collboration.
After months of hype for affordable versions of the Palm Beach socialite's clothing and accessories designs, demand crashed the website multiple times in the early morning hours on Sunday, which may be why lines of a hundred people or more gathered outside the Target stores, anxiously awaiting the doors to open.
But sadly, if you weren't first in line, or if you were hitting up a Target anywhere along the East Coast, the collection was probably out of your reach. Many people reported that the big-ticket items like the home decor, shoes and Lilly's signature shift dresses were gone within minutes. Buzzfeed has already documented the rage expressed by Lilly fans on social media.
Now your chances of finding Lilly Pulitzer for Target are slim to none as the retailer announced they won't be restocking the stores or the website. If you're willing to pay 100-200 percent more than Target's prices, you can hit up eBay where loads of incredibly marked-up items are for sale.
