I took a break from preparing for our Super Bowl party yesterday morning around 11 a.m. to check out the Jason Wu for Target launch and was surprised to discover near-empty racks at the two stores I visited. I underestimated the demand for this launch, but I guess we've entered a post-Missoni era in which this has become the norm. As is The Budget Babe tradition, I tried on what few items remained on the racks and snapped some pics, though none of the items were my size (sorry for the dismal photos and my distracting leopard print pants, I had expected to try on some Jason Wu skirts but none were available). Then, as I was leaving the women's department, I noticed someone had returned one size small top - the navy floral tank - so I scooped it up. Yay!? I then headed to a second Target store in my area but that one had been cleaned out too. A store associate told me shoppers lined up before the doors opened. Target's Twitter folks told me Jason Wu will be restocked on-line later in the week but not in stores. Follow @TargetStyle for up to the minute updates on that in case you missed out and are hoping to purchase something.
What was your experience? Did you shop in store or on-line? What did you get? From your tweets, Facebook and Instagram messages I know many of you made out pretty well, and I applaud you! It is what it is, so I'm not stressin'.

I got the Pink and white polka dot top, black pleated skirt, dot-print shirt dress, and the pink and black tie blouse (which is going back)
A bunch of the other things I tried on fit REALLY weird. Must not have been made to look even halfway decent on a skinny girl with a big chest, haha.
Didn't buy anything but will probably go back to see if the accessories have been put out.
By the way - tell me where you got those amazing pants! I love those & definitely need a pair of my own!

Maybe they'll restock online?
Didn't find any of the accessories, though, which was a bummer. (I love that kitty tote!) Only two stores in my area were even carrying them, and those racks were empty by the time I got the store at noon.
I ordered the striped tote online before I went out as I had something else I wanted to order from them anyway. Looks like several things were sold out online, but a few things were still in stock.
My mom went to her Target when it opened and there weren't too many people there and still quite a few clothes. She picked up the pink and white polka dot blouse for me and the navy floral dress with the yellow belt. She's going to mail them to me to try on. Apparently her store didn't get very many handbags, which is what she was interested in. They were all snapped up by the time she got there.

I've seen pretty much every designer line Target launched since the very beginning (only time I couldn't was when I was in another country) and bought some beautiful clothes. It makes me really angry that women like me who like to actually check out the clothes because we appreciate good design are suddenly getting bulldozed over by morons out to make a buck.
I hope they all totally lose out and are forced to return everything they bought. I know that might sound vindictive and petty but I'm so pissed off I don't care.
The eBay scalpers are a big problem. Target should limit purchases and it would help if dopes didn't keep the scalpers in business by buying from them.
Our store also got a very small collection as it is. I was surprised how many people were interested in it, as this area I live in isn't very Brand focused.
I was able to snag the navy chiffon floral dress with belt in a Small, the belize blue cap sleeve blouse in Small, the cat print cream tee in an XS which fits awesome. The cat print bag and a small classic flap handbag.
I saw the sleeveless navy floral top but was worried how it would look. Seeing it on you makes me wish I had grabbed it!
The smalls are a bit big, but I think they will work.
I wish there were more things available. There were a few larger sizes available though when I left.
