WTF happened to Anthropologie?

I think you're probably just getting older. Maybe 10 years ago all of those things would have been cute to you, now they're cute to the younger set. Except those earrings...HEINOUS!

I'm 34 and love anthro and fp too. It's you OP. Not to be mean- it's also the area. People here dress pretty conservative.

Free People! The last several purchases I have bought from there have become staples in my wardrobe. I never knew that Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie were the same company?! R U sure?

I think they're all owned by the same anti-choice owners.

+1000

People get older and they wonder what happened to a company ... It's not the company... It's you.

I am going to start a thread, 30 years ago I loved Gallo wine, what happened to that company, their wine is so cheap and gross now.

What I don't get about Anthro is all these shapeless tops -- they all look like maternity clothes to me.

+1 Their styles are getting younger and younger. I love, love florals and lace, but this stuff lately has been tacky or better suited for my 16 year old niece.

It's off to Chico's with you; you have aged past the store.
