I love Target. I wish we had them here.

heartbeatocean said:

That is a cool gift. Any kid would treasure something like that. The difference between jewelry and jeans is that you can usually wear jewelry for much longer! (Unless you lose it)

This is normal nowdays. You can't get well-made jeans for less than $150 it seems.

JustErin said:

I love target too. I'm a bit of a target whore. I work there and I shop there way, way too much.

whatever happened to good ol' levi's? are they like wearing roughskins now? or are roughskins popular now?

screw it, i'll buy cheepie jeans at H&M.

You mean Toughskins?

Well, see I've found out that absolutely NOTHING fits me right except the really expensive designer brands for some reason. I have a really hard time finding pants of any sort fit me. I've bought through countless pairs of cheaper jeans that I think fit me, and then after I wear them a couple of times I hate them and they look like crap. They ride up with wear. I'd rather splurge on some that actually really fit well, than spend more money on jeans I just end up giving away.

minneapolisgenius said:

I'm the same. I seem to totally have that problme with jeans, they look ok in the store then after a wear or two, I realize they really don't fit me that well at all. Also, I have shorter legs and a longer torso and I can never find anything 'cheap' the right length.

CarrieMpls said:

I do miss the days when Jordache and Jean Nate and Chic Jeans made inbetween sizes so they fit just right.

Actually I don't miss the days...but I do miss the commercials.

CarrieMpls said:

Exactly! I'm going to have to start getting mine custom made.

Man, I remember when my Mom made me wear ProWings sneakers from Payless back in high school when everyone else was wearing Filas, Reeboks, Adidas.... I was so ashamed

I have a pair of AG's that were about that much, and damn if they're not the most comfortable jeans I've ever worn. But my dad didn't buy them for me.

I also like my $40 Gap jeans

I remember asking my parents for stuff like that!
They always said no and then I'd hate them soooo bad.

But it was just because I didn't understand money then, I think you have to pay bills before you realize how silly that stuff is.

Hell I feel ripped off spending more than $50 for any kind of clothing now.

Rich'll spend that money on stuff and I don't think it looks any better or any different than shit you buy at Marshalls.

Anx said:

I wear Levis 512's, $30.00 just about anywhere... I think they look fine.

CarrieMpls said:

tar-ghetto is the shit. i've bought 3 pairs of pinstriped pants on sale there this month.

the most i've spent on a pair of pants is $40...



...i loves me some carhartts. i'm a one-pair-of-constant-pants kinda woman as it is.

I buy my jeans at Target (Tar-ghetto... )...they're never more than $15-$20 and they tend to look half-way decent on me...

Buy her a $7 pair of jeans 'n a bedazzler...

Yeah, twenty years later, I finally threw it out because the ornaments were broken. (It was like little wooden animals and their legs broke off) I'd still wear it today though.

CarrieMpls said:

I actually agree. A great-fitting pair of jeans are worth their weight in gold.

my dad bought me a pair of spalding shoes when british knights were in style. they were black & white and like a size too big for me. payless, target and shoe carnival were my bestest friends back in the day.

At that price, do fries come with that shake (down)?
I don't even pay that kinda money for jeans.

Dress clothes are a different story.
I'll drop a drop a decent coin (or cern in Archie Bunkerville) for those.

But for jeans, lately i've been hitting Walmart.

Buying a kid an almost 200 dollar pair of jeans teaches them nothing. Will they love you less if you don't buy them? If they do, it's a serious problem.

We never got jack shit as kids, we got eveybdoy's hand me downs: I really didn't care because I knew that's all my mother could do.

I was and have been in the position to buy my kids whatever they want, but I don't. That is not preparing them for the real world. Nobody is going to give them anything and they are going to have to work for everything you get just like I had to.

Damn I could get my daughter's entire back to school wardrobe with 174 dollars.

OOOHhhhh, carharts are HOT. I want summa those.

JustErin said:

that's awesome! i have to admit that one of the reasons why i want to have kids is to dress them up.

I was raised shopping at Goodwill, so now it really pains me to spend more than about $50 on an article of clothing. I mean, pain.

My girlfriend just bought a Utilikilt, and I totally want one, but they cost over $100!

There are, like, three targets here in albuquerque where my mom lives. THREE! It can be nice at times. There's the good target, the crappy target, and the okay target.
