On Sunday, US discount retail store Target opened its doors for a limited-time only sale of Lily Pulitzer for Target collection in stores and online.
For those in the know, this is the “it” brand for girls. A diva’s delight. And Target’s collection costs hundreds of dollars less than the regular line. But would the clothing fit for a princess cause things to turn ugly?
The scene was restless.

Lilly addicts even crashed Target’s website.
Due to the overwhelming excitement for the #LillyforTarget collection we are making adjustments to our website. Stay tuned for updates.

Others weren’t quite so fortunate.

They expressed a slight displeasure online… One woman was quoted as saying: “Bitches! You’re all bitches!”
People even began selling the Target line on eBay for a profit.
This is infuriating.The point of Lilly @Target was so it could be affordable.Not for rude people to make profits. pic.twitter.com/wQnGd5nR90

And those people… according to sources… suck.

But in the end the cynics agreed, they didn’t even want that “fake” Lilly ANYWAY.
@madi_hucks @Hannah_McC21 it's okay I don't want their fake Lilly like buying 10 of everything to sell on eBay, who does that?!?
