Women lying/ gate keeping around where clothes are from

[Anonymous]

I went to a party in bk the other night and saw this happen 3 times. One time I complimented someone’s dress and asked if it was Anthropologie and she seemed to not remember and then said she thought it was another designer, and twice more I saw someone ask and get a shrug or an ‘I can’t remember’. I easily googled all 3 items when I got home and they are currently in various stores. What is this weird behavior?

Because they don't want you copying them. Its creepy you google it.

What is BK? Is this Bethesda or some other striver neighborhood?

In my normal neighborhood, when someone compliments your outfit we’re quick to reply it’s from Amazon, it’s on sale, and oh here’s the link, go snatch one up!

Maybe they didn’t remember? Maybe you have a reputation for copying others? Maybe they didn’t like your creeper energy?

Bk? What is that? Brooklyn?

I hate when people try to get specific like this. Just offer a generic compliment and move on. Don't grill me about where I shop if I don't offer it up like "Thanks it's from TJMaxx!"

It's this.

If you knew it was from Anthropology, why did you ask?

I didn't know, I asked if it was and she said no, but it in fact was from anthropologie.

op - brooklyn.

I'm manhattan where it's normal to compliment and then share where you got something. It was SO odd.

Because Anthropologie is basic and people in Brooklyn want to be more unique.

Hahaha! So true. Most people don't ask specific questions. I'm from the midwest and have historically just been direct when people do ask, because I have no problem with it... "Oh, I got in on sale at Nordstrom last month. Thanks!" One person actually told me not to say that I got it on sale - apparently that is vulgar in some circles. In my UMC Midwestern culture sales/good deals are bragging rights - quite the opposite.

It doesn't mean people will copy you- normally stores offer sever different styles of that look and people are more or less wondering which stores you go to.
