Thank you so much digby! My mom and I had quite an adventure today trying to get this stuff. She had to go to Home Depot so I asked her if she could stop by Target to see if the stuff you mentioned was still there since I was planning on going to Potomac Mills today. I gave her the description of where the Missioni stuff should be (I accidentally told her it would be near the dressing room) and she called called me back saying there wasn't anything there. Then a few minutes later she called me back because she found the rack! I told her to grab anything that was in my size and guard the cart and I'd head over there to meet her. She had no idea what she had so I didn't know what I'd see once I got there, but she had the blue sweater dress, the cardigan, the robe, and the sweater! I ended up not getting the robe, and after a lot of thought I ended up not getting the sweater either(I don't know the exact name but it's the one with the zig zag pattern on the back and arms but the sheer floral pattern in the front) because although I liked it I didn't want to get all three. I love that my mom thinks I'm crazy for searching for the Missoni stuff but she was right there searching with me today lol. For her trouble, I bought her some new curtains for the room she's remodeling. Thanks again digby!

At the Potomac Mills Target I saw lots of picture frames, lots of valets (both the smaller and larger one) tumblers, eye masks, travel pillows, valets, fleece/velour shorts in XL, lots of girls stuff, long gloves, a couple headbands, bobby pins, tumblers and train cases. I bought the last of the train case in Passione, bulldog clips and notepad.

Aw, yay, I'm so glad you got it!! Like I said, the rack for the women's clothing on Route 1 was pretty well hidden, I bet a lot of people didn't even see it, since they thought it would be out towards the front. Thanks for keeping an eye out for me, I appreciate it! :D

Can you let me know if you see anymore of the glass serving bowls in the area? My mom saw mine and now wants one. I'd like to get it for her for Christmas if possible. Did you go and get the cardigan?? :smile1:

I caved in and bought the Emma Roberts cardigan on eBay. It's the only thing remaining of my original Target.com orders that I don't have yet, and with nothing to trade, it's difficult to get that item on the fair trade page. Final price was $68.00, shipping included. I guess it's a fair deal.

Now I am officially done with Missoni hunting, although I still want a lot of stationery stuff. But I won't actively look for those items anymore. Maybe I'll check out eBay down the line when the madness has died down.

Since I think my Missoni for Target collection is complete (although I will make an exception for the hoodie), I took a group shop of all the pieces I've bought. The only thing missing is the button down shirt because it's hanging to dry. I added up how much I spent and I can't believe I spent so much, especially since I didn't plan on buying anything from the collection. I blame this thread lol.

The brown one is heavier (more substantial) and the blue one is thinner, but not thin KWIM? The blue one hugs the body more I would say.

LOL about your DH and the ottoman!

I agree, the brown and blue are nothing alike.
The brown/black is heavy, truly thick, smooth and heavy.
The blue is light and thin-ish, more airy. Love them both!

I agree with Amanda, and wanted to add that the blue fits more TTS and the brown fits a big larger.

Thank you all for your replies...very helpful information! I think if I saw it and was able to try it on in person I would most likely get it, especially for retail. I really like the thickness though of the brown and the fact that it is not body hugging. I already have (besides the brown zigzag) the purple/pink striped (ebay), the blue/many colors (lol) striped (lucky store return find), and the space-dye cardi (Target.com actually made good on it!), so for living in Florida it's really enough. That's not to say if I find it in my size I will pass it up! Thanks again. I just LOVE this thread and all the wonderful pieces I have been able to get. I think they did an AMAZING job on the collection. Too bad they couldn't do the same as far as distribution.

Love your haul Nova-Girl! Oh my - what a great group shot! There was something for everyone in this collection! I want (must find) the train case in the back - is that the Passione one?

Thanks to shopdrop99, I hit the Missoni jackpot this morning & found several items I had wanted, incl the Black & White cardigan!!:yahoo: The store she sent me to had the most stuff I've seen so far -- it was all spread out in each dept, rather than consolidated to one spot like all the other stores I've been to.

In addition to the cardi, they had the long brown striped maxi skirt & it was marked down to $12!!! I hadn't really paid much attention to this skirt before, because I didn't think I could pull off the horizontal stripes, but when I saw it there & saw the price, I tried it on and LOVED it!! They also had the Textured cardigan (like Emma Roberts'), which I recd but returned & then regretted. I know that striped skirt was shown w/that cardigan, but I don't know -- that's a lot of stripes & zig zags, don't you think? So now I'm in search of some Tshirts or sweaters that I can wear with that skirt (if I can find that baby blue or peach, it would be perfect!!)

I also found a pair of the Navy Blue knit pants, which I almost ordered but decided against -- love them!! I was thinking I could wear the long blue cardi w/the pants sometime, but I'm not sure what else I could pair with them. I don't think there was anything else from this line that was meant to wear w/those pants, was there?

They also had the Black & White Sleeveless Sweater/Vest marked down to $7!!:nuts: I bought it, thinking I could wear it w/the Bl&Whi cardi, but it's pretty short. I need to try it on w/the black maxi skirt & see how it looks. Its really pretty tho & looks like it would cost so much more than it did

They had the Bl&Wh cardi in an XL & Medium -- the Med fit, but was slightly smaller than I'd prefer & the XL was big, but if I push the sleeves up, it looks OK (I actually like the longer length of the XL over the shorter length of the Med). I couldn't decide which to get, so I was going to buy both & try it on at home w/a few things to see which I liked better (& then try trading the one I decided against for the Long Zig Zag cardi!), but while I was in line, I noticed that the Med had a hole in the shoulder. I went back to the dept & tried it on again & the hole was pretty noticeable. In addition to the hole, it was sewn really poorly at the shoulder & you could see the white reinforcement. I asked about a discount, thinking that if it were good enough, I would "settle" for it, but they only offered 10% which I didn't think was enough on a $50 sweater w/a noticeable hole like that, so I gave the Med back to the sales girl & told her about the hole (I have a feeling she put it back out on the floor after I walked away)

I picked up a couple of the media boxes & a silk scarf - not sure if I'll keep either, but since I haven't seen either one, I decided to get them & think about it. They had a bedding set that wasn't in the Missoni packaging -- it was a really pretty blue color (I think it was the sham & duvet). It was marked down to $50!! They also had several pullover sweaters, a TON of PJs and a pretty good selection of kids' clothing -- I didn't see any men's stuff (altho shop said she thought she saw a couple of the cardi's last night - the sales girl said they hadn't had any men's stuff since the 1st day)

I'm really happy with what I got -- all I need now is the Zig Zag cardigan and my Missoni quest will be done!!

Thank you so much shop for telling me about that store's location!!:hugs::heart:
