The Asthma

I recall a time in history when Target retail stores sold clothes that were barely socially acceptable. In more modern times, it seems major brand names have moved into Target stores and it has almost become a legitimate store to shop for clothes. If you’re not convinced, perhaps you just haven’t gotten wind that high-end designer jeans brand William Rast has officially been added to Target’s growing list of brands.

If you’re not privy, William Rast is a somewhat new manufacturer of designer jeans, founded in part by Justin Timberlake. These jeans have been spotted on tons of famous people in Hollywood and also on TV. It’s safe to say they will be by far the most high-priced denim available for sale at any given Target around the United States, but they are still on sale at freaking Target. Doesn’t that just blow your mind?

Once upton a time when I was a kid, I recall being bored out of my mind while shopping at Target and pleading with my mother to buy me a $6 cheapo watch. Of course I can’t say for certain what other kinds of watches (if any) were for sale, but I am guessing there were various kinds that were all more or less in the same cost range. Nowadays, you can fidn watches on sale at Target stores that fetch $100 or more.

Another scenario was in my teenage years. For the purpose of saving some cash, my mom would purchase me clothing at Target. At a critical time when the vast majority of my peers were wearing trendy, more expensive, surf type brands, I was sporting obscure brands such as Utility and Mossimo, which were the bread and butter of Target back in the day. It was rather arduous.

Apparently things have changed. In these modern times, shopping for clothing at Target stores is pretty much the trendiest thing you can do. Who would have predicted that?
