Bwahahahahaaaa. I'm not allowed in Target anymore.

Mine fit fine except for the waist, but when you go to re-order, you put in the adjustments (subtract or add up to 3") so I'm not too worried about getting the perfect fit the first time. They fit everywhere else just about perfect, not to snug, not too loose.

WIWBF, do you go to the somerville target? i've never been to that one--is it easy to get to by T, or do you have a car? i've taken the bus to the south boston one, but it's the longest ride ever, through sketchy places, and i waited a good hour for the bus to come on my way home. i'd love to find a more accessible target.

Upon looking at the maps on the website, the Somerville one isn't near any T stops that I know of. I've driven by it before and always thought that it was a strange place to put a store.

I go to the Everett one fairly often - I could probably be convinced to chauffeur you around...

I wouldn't take the green line to Lechmere. Due to the green line renovation project, you actually have to get off the T at North Station and take a shuttle to Science Park and Lechmere. Total pain in the ass and not supposed to be completed until next summer, by which I mean hopefully before we have grandkids. Although I think three of the Lechmere buses, the 87, 88, and 90, all stop at the plaza.

I would take the orange line to Sullivan Station, then the 86 or the 91 to Target. The bus ride should only take a few minutes, although the buses only run about every 20 minutes at their peak hours, obviously less frequently off-peak. Get off at Washington St. and O'brien Hwy. I think the stop is actually under an overpass. Go left for about a block towards Somerville ave. and you'll be able to see the Target.

Before the Somerville got its very own Target, I journeyed out to the Everett store a couple of times. I seem to remember that it was pretty difficult to get there by foot from the Wellington T, but it was possible. The Everett Target is better than the Somerville one, imho.

I think I may by the dress eventually. They also had a really nice jackie O style jacket http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/ref=br_1_14/601-3966731-9924939?%5Fencoding=UTF8&frombrowse=1&asin=B00068O11U

that went with the dress or a red skirt. I worship Issac Mizrahi for working with Target. I think I may have to write him a letter....

I MUST. HAVE. MATCHING. RED JACKET. Gah!

But, seriously. I simply must have that jacket.

I came out of Target with all of the above AND...
workout pants
pajama pants
5-pack of underwear
mascara
eye liner
sunglasses
baking soda
pledge grabit cloths (dry and wet varieties)
ziplock bags
12-pack of Coke
2 belts: one black & one brown (clearance!)

OK so when I was in Florida visiting my family I went to Tarjay - it's a pilgrimage in every city I visit. They had the dress in black and I did not like it very much. It was wool and did not look as nice as it did in the picture. They also had the jacket and I was not impressed.

I am going to stock up on next years Christmas stuff that is on sale though.

I, too, went to Tar-jay in FL (Hunter's Creek in Kissimmee) and also tried on the jacket and dress, and was not impressed. Well, it's not that I wasn't impressed, but the fabric was so heavy that I didn't think it would ever be cool enough to wear it.

Hi,
I'm new and just found your board. My name is Amy and I'm a Target addict. I've got my red card and everything. I just got a new rewards card that is burning a hole in my pocket and want to apply it to the 75% off clearance, but I'm trying to find out when that is!

In years past, I've been lucky and hound employees until someone will admit it to me. Then I keep track. A few years ago, 75% would always be the day after New Year's Day. Last year, they completely threw me off and it went on New Year's Day! I lost some valuable shopping time!!!

I also was aware of the usual season markdowns in 3 day patterns.

Anyone know the word for this year???

We bought the tree at Target for 75% off (well, technically 50% off and then 25% off of that, which isn't exactly the same thing, as P kept adamantly telling me) because it was a display. We just bought a big tupperware type thing too, then disassembled it there at the front of the store, stuck it in the box, and hauled it out the the car. Voila!
