The Closet Quest Begins
Okay so my sister binged Emily in Paris last week and wouldn’t shut up about the outfits. Like literally bombarded my texts with screenshots. “I NEED that skirt!” “WHERE is that bag from?!” Honestly? I got curious too. Saw a Target collab online but struck out. Website was wiped clean. Nada. Zilch. Time for proper scavenger hunt mode.
Grabbed coffee this morning and fired up Google. Searched like crazy – “Emily in Paris collection where to buy.” Shocker? Multiple brands collabed! Had no idea. Found out Net-a-Porter did some fancy pieces. Pretty, but way outta my budget. Like “rent-or-buy” level stuff. Nah. Pass.
The Mall Grind
Hit the local mall after lunch. First stop: Target. Raced to the designer section. BINGO! Racks full of colorful stuff. Sorted through dresses, tops, skirts. Some vibes felt cheap tbh, fabrics thin. But other gems! Tried on this bright green sweater. Felt surprisingly soft. Perfect for brunch pics. Price? Damn good. Snagged it.
Scanned the accessories: Funky earrings, berets, heart-shaped bags. Picked up polka-dot tights and a black headband. Felt like Emily core achieved. Then checked beauty: Lipsticks, nail polishes – super pink tones. Grabbed a flamingo-print bikini too because why not?
- Victories: Sweater, tights, headband = instant Emily vibes without breaking bank
- Reality Check: Some sequin tops looked messy after two tries. Quality’s hit or miss
Leftovers & Luck
Couldn’t find the viral pink coat anywhere. Target clerk shrugged: “Probably gone in minutes.” Meh. Later remembered other brands joined! Searched *. Found chic blazers online. Also Banana Republic: Classier dresses and shoes. Better materials, way heavier price tags though. Saved links for possible splurges later.
Stumbled into Claire’s randomly. Totally forgot they collabed too! Cute jewelry wall – heart necklaces, Eiffel Tower earrings. All under 20 bucks! Bought some rings for my sister. Mission half-accomplished.
Final Haul & Honest Thoughts
Dropped bags on my bed. Target sweater + tights + headband. Claire’s rings. Felt satisfied. Overall? Target delivers for quick, affordable Emily looks, but inspect stuff before buying – quality swings wildly. */BR feel luxe but cost real bucks. And hey, Claire’s? Fun, cheap accessories win. Credit card is weeping softly though. Next time, maybe I’ll just borrow sis’ Netflix password instead. Good luck hunting!
