“The only reason the heart palpitations brought on from this arresting vision did not kill me outright was the desperate fear that I would in fact be caught dead in an outfit I wouldn’t be caught dead in.”>>

That is sheer genius!

I tried on some of those low-rise gaucho things and the resulting sight seared my retinas off.

Hey, I have the same post post post post partum plan. Damn sour cream donuts. Target is like junk purseandshoe crack. I too contemplated the guachos. Took them home, even. Laughed my ass off when I actually put them on. For the short term, I’ll stick with cheap wide leg jeans from Kohl’s. Not quite as trashilicious as Target, but still cheap.

Target is not tacky. Pronouncing it with a faux-French flair like, “Tar-zhay” is. I say this though I am guilty of it.

What a perfect moment to read this post. I am freshly home from Target. On the way there, I repeated this to myself….”I will NOT freak out about the size number on the tag and I WILL buy some pants that are not track pants!”

When I got there, do you know what I found?

An entire rack of cropped leggings. Cropped. Leggings. That is 365 kinds of wrong! Or the aforementioned gauchos, and skinny jeans. Oh. My. Gawd. I left with nothing resembling pants of any kind. But I did find a bikini on clearance, for you know, any minute now when I would actually wear one. It was $12, I had to.

At this moment, I’m placating myself with a bag of Smartfood popcorn, and wearing my track pants, large smooshey hoodie sweatshirt and a baseball hat.

i live in walmart levi’s. $20 a pop and they come in normal fits such as straight leg and boot cut and they’re not so low that they expose your crack.

longtime lurker with possibly unwelcome pants advice:
Would you like to hear about THE BEST JEANS EVER? they’re from a rodeo-jeans company: cowboy jeans for girls/women really, but the lines are all super cute (and since I work for them I get to try ‘em on all the time). They’re all shown on size nothing superskinnies natch’, but they fit the rest of us “cornfed”s too. Let me know if you are interested and I’ll give you the details without abusing your comments section for a free advertisement.
Blah blah blah, love the blog and the snarkiness and the cerealbox-cute little dude.

If it’s any consolation, the “trendy” clothes section sucks equally bad. You get to choose between “Whore” and “Ghetto” while paying a lot for it.

I have been known to cross international borders and pay duty and bridge tolls to shop at Target. Woe is Canada.
Your boy is so sweet, keep the pictures coming. I think only a child as beautiful as he could make gaucho pants fabulous.

ha HA! You are hilarious. Really, you should write a book, Sundry. Also, Target rules.

Gaucho pants just look dumb. I can’t wait for that trend to pass. And I’ll never look good in skinny jeans either, so I don’t even bother to try them on. But Target is great for cheapo and cute purses and shoes.
