Let me preface this post by saying that I've been into Urban Outfitters once. Just once. We don't have them out here in the burbs, hence the name. Therefore I always forget about them being a viable option for clothing, accessories and decor. Well I decided to saunter on over to their website and found a few thingies that peaked my interest. We've got...
the Hits
Be the Orange Sheep in the Family if Black is Already Taken print
Love this. Totally appropriate for my fam. Would this be weird in an nursery?
Waterfall Ruffle Curtains
Waterfall Ruffle CurtainsAlso love. Trying to conjure up windows that need covering in girliness.
Antoinette Fainting Sofa in Caribbean
Want to rub my face on. And faint on.
and then I clicked on the Clothing tab. Bad move. I understand designers making crazy shit for the runway but really? Who wears this stuff? Says the girl who can't get dressed without Target :)

Kimchi Colorblock Jumper
No words.
Wolf Tank
Self-explanatory. I didn't see the Twilight license on this one so I have to assume it's not aimed at Jacob-obsessed tweens. This one is for the girl who likes wolves. Like, seriously likes wolves. She likes wolves like I like honey mustard. A lot.
the Shapeless Retro Prisoner Shirt
oh, that's not what UO calls it? Doggone it, they should have. C'mon, it's terrible!
And let's comment on the fact that UO is too cheap to pay for model eyes. It's so they can't see how horrific they look in these clothes.
So the verdict? UO good for house, bad for body.

If you design an 'i love honey mustard' shirt, I would totally wear it. Cant wait to party with you this weekend!
The wolf shirt? C'mon.
Why don't yous like that one?
I need it, I think.
Todd's friend Patra designs clothes for Urban. Let's get discounts.
I need those curtians. And to be a bachelorette again because that's the only way JEGs is letting me hang them.
You know what that crap is made for?? high school kids who weren't alive in the 80s and thinks that shit is cool. Oh, that's right- high school kids were not alive in the 80s. I know this because I coach 24 girls who were born between the years of 1992 and 1994.
... makes me sick.

Urban is king of the hobo-chic look. Personally I don't get it; why would you WANT to look like you can't afford new clothes, when that ripped shirt actually cost $79?
Oh, Shannon, I couldn't agree with you more! UO has beautiful and funky home decor items, but their clothing can be downright SCARY.
That wolf shirt is not okay on so very many levels. I think my 70 year old grandpa owns that--seriously. Whoever designed that needs to receive a pink slip.
I actually had a $50 gift card to Urban Outfitters that I waited so long to use that it was devalued to $0 by the time I tried. Also,where is your Irish weekend blog to get me excited?
I hear ya. I love UO's decor but their clothese--yep, not so much. Maybe I've been in the 'burbs for too long.
Your comment on my weekend recap post cracked me up. Yay for pics of people drinking! And sorry about the dress. I do have a way with disappointing people. That is why I drink. =]
(I might or might not own the wolf shirt. It's totally hawt.)
