Sigh….sigh..
As my girl Jeniese put it..

I feel like we got served steak on a garbage can lid… like my Grandma used to say…

I mean, come on. I love Target but I can not tell you the last time I even looked at the plus size selection that they have in store. It’s to be frank, pathetic. So why not when you finally make the smart move of including plus size in a collaboration, do you taint it by not filling the stores with it.

Why not truly show that you get it? That this is not a pacifier or a PR move to add a little good faith.

And while I love that Chastity, who wrote the most recent lament regarding Target’s lack of plus size inclusion in their collaborations & other bloggers are currently working with Target on some to be divulged at a later date campaigns, besides the Lilly steak on a garbage can lid, there is another thing that has left somewhat of a foul taste in my mouth.
And that is the fact that The Curvy Fashionista, Marie Denee does not appear to have been included.
You may or may not recall that Marie created a petition back in 2010 callling Target out for their lack of plus size inclusion. So…I definitely would’ve thought she would be included. 
And don’t get it twisted, aint no “T” here.  I am geeked at any positive exposure for plus size bloggers and will be cheering them on but I just had to share my 2 cents about where I feel Target could’ve made this an EPIC move for me in more ways than one.
What say you? 

How do you feel about the online only option for the plus size options from Target’s Lilly Pulitzer collaboration?
