Urban Outfitters

So I have this quirk where I like to labor over items of clothing that I really like. Just really thinking it over. Do I need this? Would I wear it? Well it's summer so should I get it now or should I wait? I even do it with things I immediately love and know I'm gonna get. I don't know why I do it. I guess I'm just strange.


One of the things I'm laboring over is this Eternity Scarf ($34) from UO. I want in black. I have the picture in white because it's easier to see. I want to see if I can pick up the scarf in person and just feel the material. It looks like it'd be really thin so yeah.


(Please forgive the awful gap. That's UO's fault.)The next are these fringe sandals ($28) from UO that I'm in love with. I feel like they could do no wrong. My only concern is comfort because I've felt some UO shoes that were pretty uncomfy. If you've bought shoes from them please let me know about the comfort level and all that. These are another pair I'd like to feel in-store. But I'm pretty hooked on these. They'd just go with everything.

I think everything below this point right here is just pure speculation. I haven't really decided like I did with the ones above.


Yep, feathers. Everyone seems to have the headbands and all that. While I think they're cool on some people (given that the headband is not too tight like lots of people like to wear them) they just don't work for me. My face is capable of looking 10. With headbands I look 5. You can see why it's a no go. But I do put my hair up often so chopsticks I can work with.


I don't know why but I adore these shoes. They're $98 and from UO (wow UO has been pulling in some pretty great stuff lately. Well the website anyway) and I'm sure a lot of people will instantly hate them I really like them. They remind me of some other shoes I saw in a canvas and brown leather. I'm not sure why I like them so much. Maybe because they remind me of socks and gladiator's together.


The scarf that's so wrong it's right ($28) There's something about the yellow in the scarf mixed with the gray that seems like it really shouldn't go together. But that's what makes it so appealing to me.


My other lbd broke down a while ago and I've been needing a new one. It was between this one and a sorta of skater dress but it was basically nix on that because I'd have to wear a shirt under it or no bra. I think it's $48.

There are a few others from UO that I like but won't end up here. Basically I've been doing a lot of online window shopping because I start my job (yay!) tomorrow and I think I deserve a present. Basically me getting my hair done + $50 on clothes (probably fringe sandals and sheer white/black tees.) So expect pictures of acquisitions soon.

I hope you guys are having a nice night!

  1. I love that scarf! But i think it's a pretty good DIY project that would cost about ...5$ and I love those fringe sandals. I was going to try them on at the store except they ran out of my size :(. I have that feather clip! Well a similar one anyways from UO also and I love it :)

  2. I love that dress. The fringe-y items at the top are cool too!

  3. Can I mark all of the above— or, is that not an option? I really like the floral scarf, it's sort of Shabby Chic, but not really, and the more I star at it, the more I love it!

  4. nv: You're right, it could be a diy but I don't have any fabric or anything. I looked at the fringe sandals in the store myself and there was only an 8. they seemed pretty comfy too.

    Chelsea Rae: (laughs) I'm thinking about all of the above, just maybe not immediately.

  6. Aww, that sucks. At least they have stuff online though. I'd love to get stuff from H&M but there's no online store in English and no physical store in Atlanta.

  10. Hmm... I'm nor really digging the fringe thing. Apparently me and fashion just don't get along this year.

  11. I love fringe. I love things that remind me of the 20s. There are a few things in fashion that you might like though. But I do agree with you on the tunics and all that. Only flattering to pregnant women.

  14. karla: I hope you posted about it on your blog. I'm gonna head over now.

    jen: I don't know if it's in the store. I mean, when I went I didn't see it but it was really picked over cause of the sale.

  15. I was going to say the same thing as nv. If you went to a fabric store and found a piece of jersey in the scrap pile, you could cut those fringes so easily and have a beautiful scarf for a fraction of the price. Hmmm. . . maybe I'll try this and see how it goes. . .

  16. etoilee8: if you do it, I'd love to see pictures of the final results.

  17. I have a pair of flats and a pair of oxford heels from UO. The flats caused blisters on my toes until they were stretched out, and they provide no support. The heels on the other hand are actually quite comfortable, but I don't believe they were manufactured by UO.
