six reasons why Urban Outfitters and I may part company
It's not like we had a relationship before...though they are a sister company to my formerly beloved Anthropologie, but the last catalogue I received from Urban Outfitters strained my nerves a little bit.
I like this sweater. This half a sweater. I'd like it more if she was wearing a shirt under it.
No. A bra is not enough.
A bra and panties is not enough. (This is starting to sound like a James Bond movie, isn't it?)
I do realize that a deep vee neck can be very flattering...
but this one may be a bit too deep. As it were.
Ridiculous.
And these, I'm afraid, are the shoes to complete the outfit.
We're through.

But Urban Outfitters, which I walk by sometimes but never enter? It's a lingerie store, right? Kind of like Victoria's Secret, except with less silicone. Right?
I think this might be a fashion world oxymoron.
Ah, the joy!!
Too-sexy of minor-aged looking femals, way creepy.
The poses in the bras and panties are ridiculous too. Just trying to get you to look at them. How 'bout they show the sweaters closed like one would wear them in public? Is that asking too much to see them 'fully on' as we normal people would wear them?
And those shoes are UGHly
I'm definitely not their target demographic, but I like to browse their housewares (whoops, their "Apartment" stuff) every now and again.

I'm not very good at guessing ages, can anyone give me a realistic age of these young girls?Looks like a Playboy Production.
Oh and DAMN...those are some ugly shoes!
I also don't shop at Victoria's Secret, because of all their marketing strategies all over the place for men to see. If I need a bra I go to a dept store or even Fredricks. I don't see ads for Fredricks of Hollywood all over the place. I actually don't admit this to a lot of people, I am afraid that they would think I am nuts.
But maybe that's just me.
i see where you are coming from, but i still love that sweater. although i admit i'd wear it without the sweater/breasts look going on.
i LOVE anthropologie. their housewears slay me.
Yesterday while shopping, I observed a lovely, well-put-together woman of about 62ish get accosted by a four year old princess. The princess said to the very chic woman, "You're very old, but why do you have lipstick?"
I had to turn away to wince. The woman charmed the wee princess. She bent down to chat with her, and when I composed my face to check on developments, the princess was sniffing the woman's wrist, clearly enjoying the perfume. The oblivious mum called the princess away. I winked at the woman with a smile, and told her she'd handled things beautifully. She laughed and replied, "I hope I won her over!"
