Just so everyone understands, not all jeans sold at Target are "Target" branded jeans. While some are their brand (forget what the name is) but they also sell Levi's and Wrangler's for decent prices.
Won't lie, at my work if it snows, we can wear jeans and I didn't have a pair handy to wear that was big enough to wear layers under it (I sell cars and when it snows we have to clean the cars off. Hence go outside in the 20° weather so I wear a base layer under my jeans to keep warm). Went to Target and found a nice pair or Wrangler's in my size for $20! Can't beat that. They're jeans, they serve a purpose. I don't need $100 pair of jeans from who knows where. Buy what you want and feel comfortable in. Heck, I buy my dress pants at Costco and BJ's Wholesale! They are the same Savane dress pants with the stretch waist i can get at Kohl's or wherever. But I'm only paying $20 a pair vs $70! Shop smart.
Who am I to judge. I'm 42 & I got judges all though junior & high school because I didn't wear the "preppy" clothes like everyone else. Instead I wore MJ t-shirts (this was back in the early-mid 90s 89-95 when he had picture shirts from Salem, Nutmeg Mills, etc) every day with my Jordans. Over time the other kids layed off but I told myself I would NEVER judge someone by what they wore or where they shopped. It's just stupid to do that.
