there often if you think there's something you like. Claire has mentioned
items she bought and if I was two
weeks slow, I wouldn't see them. The clerk would say they were in the store

To their website, I think. Sometimes if I don't buy enough of something
when I'm shopping in the store, I can find it on clearance on their
website
you can usually get a deal on shipping. Also, an Old Navy charge card gets
deals, kickbacks. etc.) It's usually easier for me to find what I'm looking
for on their website than picking through an often–chaotic, messy store.
Everything comes neatly packaged and in pristine condition, again in
contrast to the offerings at my local Old Navy. BTW, their "just bottoms"
cotton knit p.j. pants are my absolute favorites.

permanent. Yes, they turn their inventory so fast. (I wonder who is the
fastest in that category.) I completely missed out on the capri yoga pants
(wah wah) because I didn't go for them when I saw them. I went back and
grabbed a pair of reg length "just in case" they stop making them soon.
Luckily I've been able to buy their thin cotton knit lounge pants for over a
year because I loooove them. Must get a third.
I occasionally hit the Market St basement but unfortunately even that is an
unreliable source except for right after huge markdowns and even then they
don't always have the stuff I've seen at other ON markdown sections. In
addition to checking the website, calling around to stores might be a good
idea.
Noticed recently that ON is carring a maternity line. I haven't checked it
out but it seems like an excellent idea for them if they do it right!

Target website...

Here's the answer straight from their website...
Is Target Australia connected with Target USA?
No, Target Australia is part of the Coles Myer corporation and has no
relationship with Target USA.<<
I'm not seeing much of a difference in terms of brand identity!

For those in SF, the basement of their flagship store on Market St
would be a good place to check. I don't think their outlet stores are
much help unless you want to wait a whole year for an item.

I used to shop at an outlet mall that had two Gap outlets and I'd
sometimes see Old Navy clothing there. I don't know if Old Navy has
its own outlets, though. The Gap outlets were great–– I'd find khakis
in long (my primary reason for going there) and would pay way, way
less than what they cost in the store. I've never called an outlet to
check on stock but probably they'd tell you if there were ON clothes
in the store.
My husband and I love Old Navy for basic clothing–– his favorites are
the short sleeve shirts with pockets and I like the men's ringer
t–shirts (regular shirts trimmed with a contrasting color).

Sounds like a Canadian Target given that they use the term "one of

Of course, you do know where you go for Mossimo? Zellers in Canada and
