by Augusta Statz

Ah, the ‘90s. Whether you look back on this decade fondly or no, you know you made some very bold fashion and beauty choices during the time. And let’s be honest — the 1990s are probably still influencing your style. For old times’ sake, reminisce on 11 hilarious things you bought from Target in the ‘90s because there’s no denying these items were in your shopping cart back in the day!

From the Mossimo brand to Lip Smacker lip balms, there were things you just couldn’t leave the store without purchasing. Lucky for you — you can still find some of these items available for purchase online. Ebay is full of vintage 1990s pieces, and yes, quite a few of them actually came from Target. So, even though shopping at this store isn’t quite the same as it used to be, the Internet (and your personal style) can help the ‘90s live on forever.

Whether you were shopping blue sparkly polishes, mood rings or grunge clothing, Target was your go-to destination. Clearly, some things never change! You may not be able to find the exact same items carried during your favorite decade on store aisles anymore, but that doesn’t make Target any less of a destination. Because when it comes to finding trendy, affordable items, it’s the place to go in 2017.
