I loooove those sunglasses. But what's happening is that Anthro is trying to appeal to 20 somethings, not realizing that the aesthetic that they're going for was over 6 months ago.

As the clientele gets younger, the product evolves.

Never liked the weird faux-vintage, frilly shit they have.

Is that code for overpriced and frumpy?

Perhaps, but that can be said for most any popular chain clothing retailer.

The sunglasses are RayBans -- those are iconic.

Yes, disappointed with the more recent catalogues.

ditto...everything (sans earings) you showed has always been anthropologie

That stuff looks very cheap. Not a fan. I guess these days we just have to hunt harder for the good things.

Sure, we can debate the expensive prices and quality, but at least they usually churned out some cute things. I've been so disappointed by the things I've seen at Anthropologie lately. Are they trying to become Urban Outfitters? WTF is this crap?
