this fall i fell in love with target. i like the way its casual button-downs fit, the price is always right, and, well, target just "gets me." so, when joe posted about the target sale, i immediately got beyond the guilt that accompanies my shopping and just dove in. i can post pictures if people want, but i'm lazy, so for now everyone will have to content themselves to my wonderful prose.

i got these in 32x30, my normal pants size, in brown. i like the color - it's not a very deep brown, but it's darker than tan. as for fit, it's definitely a little tight on my legs - a common refrain for me. these are "skinnier" through the legs than bonobos straight leg washed chinos and most levi's straight leg. i can already feel them "giving" a little, so they probably have some room to get broken in.

I got this in medium as they were out of smalls. it's a bit big on me, but that's probably for the best because this thing isn't heavy. if it's anything other than brisk outside, you'd need a sweater under it to stay warm. i love the way it looks, so form wins out over function and i'm keeping it.
merona men's peacoat - http://gan.doubleclick.net/gan_click?lid=41000613802440179&pubid=210000000002 87402
i'm not an authority on pea coats, but i'd venture a guess that this is a solid peacoat that's probably not super warm but does the job. the heather charcoal is as pictured and looks good. i got a small, which was SNUG on me (38r, some 38s, 15.5/32-33, mostly wear smalls). i have fairly broad shoulders for my height, and it was super snug there - could barely lift my arms. but, i've read/heard that peacoats should be as fitted as possible, so i'm assuming it's the right size.
Target Merona Striped Rugby - http://gan.doubleclick.net/gan_click?lid=41000613802298366&pubid=210000000002 87402
i got this in blue/white and the colors are nice. they were out of smalls in this color, so i got a medium, and it's just about right. material-wise, it's decently thick and feels well made. i just got one of the lands end canvas rugby shirts (not the french terry one), and this feels markedly thicker and better made.

wearing a small right now, it fits great, and is super comfy.
mossimo 60/40 cotton poly blend marled t-shirt - http://gan.doubleclick.net/gan_click?lid=41000613802384890&pubid=210000000002 87402
got it in small, length is a bit long, but other than that the fit is great.
basically, i regret none of my purchases and they all seem to be solid+ for a cheap price. i love target so much i want to take it behind a middle school and get it pregnant.
