    Outfit #3 is very very cute. There's no age at which I have had the body to wear it, but I still find it charming.

    And so I sentenced myself to wear the Gold Duncecap of Shame for two hours.

    I don't understand the beef UO & free people get from the readers of jezebel. They're both brands for young girls in high school and early college, it's obviously not a catalog for adult women. Young girls love trends and to stand out and have expendable income for clothes like this because they don't pay rent or bills ect, let them enjoy the frills. too much bitterness, get over it already. it is over priced but is definitely a better quality than forever 21, maybe not the tights per se but definitely with the dresses and outerwear.

    @hauteartist:

    You know, a huge percentage of the commenters on here are in college in grad school.

    I'm in college, UO is overpriced and tends to be really ugly with the occasional gem.

    I would love a more expendable income though.

    FK OU! They moved into Mill in Tempe and tried to turn it into the Santa Monica Promanade. Rent went up and killed off all the live-music venues that had been there for 30 years. Not to mention the mom & pop clothing, record, skateboard, and odd gift stores. They landed and everything became a 10k-sq-ft franchise. Students don't shop there, so GTFOff campus. Your brief success was unsustainable.

    Today, Mill's got a lot of empty storefronts, but live music hasn't returned. The shells of unfinanced, unfinished hi-rise condos loom in the background. Thanks!

    @Jack_Burton: Mill is no doubt a disaster, but I was led to believe it was the fault of Tempe Marketplace and not UO.

    But yeah, as an urban studies major and (an on and off) Phoenix resident for the last ten years, i know of the desire to make everything the Promenade.

    @Scoithniamh: Mill actually died in the 90's, soon after Fat Tuesday's and UO moved in, but the shopping center it turned into took a while to develop rigor mortis.

    The Marketplace was the direct competition that killed off the giant stores that had killed Mill - the nails in the coffin, if you will.

    How does a book store (Borders) on a college campus fail? When it is located on overvalued real estate in comparison to its' revenue. Ultimately, mall-shoppers buy more crap-books than college students buy premium books.

    Ugh. Too short, high wasted, stupid looking frills. It's alla very immature look, like the girls never stopped wearing their 5th grade wardrobe. I'd like to be taken seriously, thanks.

    @BytheSea:

    I love the cutesy, Lolita inspired look. However, I am too baby faced and short to pull it off without ending up looking like a creepy little girl, and will probably be too young looking to pull it off until I'm actually too old to pull it off.

    I want to love UO, but I really just hate it. Nothing fits me (I'm an hourglass size 4/6, it shouldn't be THAT hard) and everything has Forever21 quality at 3x the price.

    @msridiculous447: I went to Forever 21 and then Urban Outfitters last night. All the same looks, and nothing at UO fit over my boobs. Plus they had tights that were the exact same thickness and colors as F21 for four times at much. $20 tights is ridiculous.

    And when I say the same looks, I bought a 6 dollar skirt as Forever 21 and at UO they had similar skirts in the same fit and fabric for a lot more. They were identical.

    My absolute favorite thing about Urban Outfitters (and Anthropologie's): their website has reviews of all the clothing. I think that's a wonderful idea. It's saved me from buying some crap in the past.

    And, it's one of the few places where I'm totally cool with people posting their measurements.

    I am a fan of the dress in 10, and the lower left corner of 11. I like it when there's business around the stomach and not the breasts; I feel it works with my apple shape and big juggs.

    Slanket is definitely the worst of the combo words. It's even worse than cankle.

    I always think a slanket should be a blanket cum slinky, and I am always disappointed.

    #s 7 and 8. All the way. When I started receiving UO catalogs, I was really unimpressed, but lately I've had some lusty feelings toward a few of their things. Those suede heels, especially.

    How much is the pink ruffle skirt in #8? Because I got in black from Target and it was only $17.

    The first picture reminds me of the morning-after-the-party scene in 200 Cigarettes.

    The subsequent pictures remind me that I can't wear anything UO makes because I am not a waifish teenager.

    I couldn't figure why they all look so lonely and glum. But #6 clued me in. She is wearing a dunce cap, obviously all these ladies are in vintage detention.
