Missoni for Target-Target Website down, Targets Mobbed

I was super excited to the get the September issue of Vogue. It is the big fat issue that comes out every sept with all the fall fashions and stuff about fashion week. For me the entire issue is a work of Art and I enjoy browsing the pages and reading the articles. I was floored to see about 5 pages for Missoni for Target smack in the middle of other glitzy designers. The BACK cover was Missoni for Target!! Missoni is known for their use of geometric zigzag stripes and that design is in full force in the Target collection. SOOOO. This morning I dropped Luke off at preschool and dropped in at Target for the first day of Missoni. Most of the stuff, I would say 95% was already gone. All that was left was some king size sheets, children's shoes and clothes. The children's clothes were made out of a knit that I thought felt darn itchy.

After Target I went to see my Mother at her home at an Assisted Living Facility. Imagine my surprise when I walked in and saw this 86 year old lady wearing Pants with a zigzag design. Some pants she had purchased in the 60's. Then I saw this 90 yr old man walking with a sweater with the same design!!!! I wish I had saved some of my clothes from the 60's.
