Urban Outfitters

Urban Outfitters is probably one of the most stylish stores out there. Out of the arm-fulls of clothes I try on there's generally only a couple of pieces of clothing that don't fit well, and that's saying a lot for me. Besides the great clothing, the place *smells* good, too. I don't know how to identify it but after you take those first few steps into the store you are immersed in its subtle and familiar scent. 

Now if you leave out the things I just pointed out (and many more I could write), Urban Outfitters is just about the worst place to shop for one reason: price. Many people would argue that their genius fit and long-term garuntee makes it worth it, but I'm very frugal so I'm not so sure. I found the most gorgeous dress this weekend there that fit me *perfectly* and I could wear it in winter with jeans or tights and boots or I could wear it in the summer with sandals - anything! Guess how much it cost. SEVENTY DOLLARS. Is it just me, or is that just crazy expensive? Although its been days since I said goodbye to the perfect dress I still think about it and silly things like that but the truth is, is that I could never afford it while it's still in the store - which really hurts :(

Anything in about that store is either heavenly or like a sword to the heart. 

The only two solutions that I've been able to come up with are: Urban Outfitters need to cheapen it up...or I need to marry a millionare. 

Neither of them seem likely, but hey, a girl can dream.
