target + rogan makes me a target shopper

some people love target. they're in there every week. they can't get enough of the place. i'm not one of those people. i almost never go to target. i can't really come up with reasons i need to shop there.
but as it happens i'm not immune to persuasion by tv commercials. i saw the target spot with rogan gregory about his new line for target. naturally, i went online (http://pressroom.target.com/pr/news/fashion/go-international/album.aspx?id=7694) to have a look and i saw some pants i thought were cute. none of the rest of the line was really my syle but i don't have to like everything. so i raced out to target to get the wide-leg trouser jeans in black and/or wide-leg pants in white before they were gone. that point was very clear in the ads --limited time only. i was shocked to find that they actually fit--sort of.
i was stoked to find that they are indeed 100% organic cotton only, no spandex anywhere. i snapped them up because they were the best fit i'm gonna get from a size 1 and, as luck would have it, i was able to have someone take them in within hours of my purchasing them. my good fortune hasn't totally converted me though. i was only able to find the black pair and i was really feeling like a summer in white and i still haven't been to the big target to see if they have them. in fact, i drove right past the place thinking, "i really should go in and have a look." but i just couldn't do it.
