I’m amazed at the amount of vitriol this Lilly Pulitzer/Target collab has managed to garner. And I’m even more shocked at how willing writers seem to think it’s okay to paint a broad category of women so harshly just because the writer does not fancy the prints in question.

I honestly have no idea why everyone is HATING on Lilly stuff lately? This stuff has been around for a while and I’ve seen my peers wearing these clothes for like, the past six years. It’s a dress, if it makes someone feel pretty and they enjoy it, then what’s the problem?
Holy shit, Dude. It’s clothing. I am a short, chubby white woman from Minnesota, knocking on middle age’s door and I wear Lilly Pulitzer. And I have worn the brand for 20 years. I’m not especially wealthy, nor does my family name grace any building. I just like bright colored clothing in the summer. I’m not a bimbo…
It’s a fucking dress, y’all. Apparently one that most people don’t even like. This seems like a disproportionate amount of rage for a dying subculture that has very little influence where most of the people raging against it live.
I have a dirty confession...I think these dresses are cute as shit. They remind me of the shifts Mia Farrow wore in Rosemary's Baby.
But alas, I am poor, fat, white trash. Maybe if I throw a NASCAR jacket over one of them?
Okay, I’ll have what is, according to the comments, a wildly unpopular opinion here but I like the collection! I’d never heard of her before, but as someone who was goth for most of her life, I’m trying to experiment more with colors and prints, and I think I could rock some of these shift dresses. I live in Florida,…
Actually, a majority of the plus size items were sold out within 15 minutes of the collection going live. I was on at 3am and couldn’t get anything really. I was pissed. I got even pissier when the site crashed twice during checkout and lost all my items both times.
Yeah, with Altuzarra I saw some random dudes dumping copious amounts of pieces when I was at the store... it was enraging. I heard they weren’t selling all that well on ebay though, so joke’s on them. I think this collection will probably be pounced on because it’s a lot more accessible (as in cheerful, casual and…
YES IM SO EXCITED I HONESTLY MIGHT PEE. i’m dragging my mom to target tomorrow like as soon as it opens. i’m so excited that the collection will (seemingly) fit me well and consists of exactly the type of stuff i like to wear.
Hell yeah. Big Mistake. Huge.
I went a little crazy with the Altuzarra collection for Target. Got to the store before it opened and sat in the parking lot for a while, then competed with the crowd for pieces. I ended up getting some really beautiful pieces, but spent more than I should have - especially considering the stuff I got is not something…
there are two, possibly 3, pieces that I want. I noticed when I was in target last, I’m now the very smallest size (vanity sizing anyone?). So, i’m concerned about it not fitting right.
I did paleo for a while and try my best when I can but I don’t eat meat other than fish so it became pretty damn boring after a while. That being said I never felt better. It sounds like you are going through withdrawals. Hang in there. It is totally worth it and you will start feeling better in no time.
Every spring, I try on a long, flowy, bohemian peasant dress. And every year I don’t buy one because it’s too expensive, and I’m not sure it won’t look stupid on my very short, stocky frame. I tried one on today, and as I was hemming and hawing over it, the salesgirl shook her head and said, “no, not for you.” She…
Ugh. You guys, I’ve been eating paleo for six days, and I am so fucking sick. Like, actually sick. Nauseous, headachey, and I hurt all over. I know that this is normal for some people, but it sucks ass. Any paleo Jezzies out there? Tell me it gets better. Because all I want is to order a pizza and eat it while I cry.
My old account would no longer post, but I miss you guys!
I feel like I wouldn’t need the internet to figure this out. Call me clingy, but I tend to insist on being part of my spouse’s wp program.
I'm assuming that Tom Hanks made a deal with a demon or something. He could have a great career, seemingly well-adjusted wife and son (Colin), but it would come with a terrible curse, and that curse is Chet Haze.
It's Coco! I knew I recognized her from somewhere!
