AG, that is a beautiful cardigan. Lena, you mentioned Anthro's different brands, and that reminds me that I've learned about a lot of neat brands through Anthro that I wouldn't have known of before. MPJ, I'd forgotten about your Anthro posts! All the gorgeous shoes and boots. Drool. I guess Maya forgot about them too. But then, dead ponies and rabid foxes make for more vivid memories.

I don't think I own a single Anthro clothing item because the reviews are frequently all over the place. (Some love, some decry the quality or fit.) There doesn't seem to be a lot of consistancy, so I have never felt brave enough to order, and usually feel too overwhelmed by the store to try on in person.) yublocka on "Remember the dead pony cardi?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-the-dead-pony-cardi#post-227795 Thu, 07 Oct 2010 08:45:37 +0000 yublocka 227795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ No way I'd pay more than $5 for it....but I think the foxy thing is kinda cute. Don't know whether I'd actually wear it though! catgirl on "Remember the dead pony cardi?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-the-dead-pony-cardi#post-227766 Thu, 07 Oct 2010 06:26:55 +0000 catgirl 227766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I just bought my first item from Anthro - one of the two cardis I'd been eying - and it is really a nice item. Overpriced, as are all their clothes, but unique and versatile. <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?subCategoryId=&id=19023076&catId=CLOTHES-SWEATERS-CARDIGANS&pushId=CLOTHES-SWEATERS-CARDIGANS&popId=CLOTHES-SWEATERS&sortProperties=&navCount=45&navAction=middle&fromCategoryPage=true&selectedProductSize=&selectedProductSize1=&color=050&isSubcategory=&isProduct=true&isBigImage=&templateType=D" rel="nofollow">http://www.anthropologie.com/a.....lateType=D</a> Hmmm, should I get the fox to match? Lena on "Remember the dead pony cardi?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-the-dead-pony-cardi#post-227741 Thu, 07 Oct 2010 05:18:24 +0000 Lena 227741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes, Anthro has some fab dresses, and that's what could lure me back in. Unfortunately the dresses I've tried frequently disappointed me in real life. It could depend on the brand, though. I lucked out once - the fabric was divine. I should post a picture one day. But that's 1 out of 10 (the other 9 or so being very disappointing). I don't even want to think how much had been spent on shipping back and forth. I had the same issue with JCrew, too. Edited to add: that's 1 out of 6, not 10 taylor on "Remember the dead pony cardi?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-the-dead-pony-cardi#post-227681 Thu, 07 Oct 2010 03:11:57 +0000 taylor 227681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Maya, You totally redeemed Anthro for me. That is the most FAB Polka Dot dress my eyes have ever seen:) Anonymous on "Remember the dead pony cardi?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-the-dead-pony-cardi#post-227634 Thu, 07 Oct 2010 01:59:18 +0000 Anonymous 227634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm curious now as to what the " Soda Fountain Bra & Bottoms!!" from Natalie's link look like. Not places I'd want to wear a faucet motif! The polkadot dress is lovely. Sparky on "Remember the dead pony cardi?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-the-dead-pony-cardi#post-227608 Thu, 07 Oct 2010 01:00:19 +0000 Sparky 227608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ OK, in the interest of fairness (and to keep Maya from having a heart attack), I'll add in a picture of the lovely dress she's talking about . . . .

For the girl that has everything, I suppose! Maya on "Remember the dead pony cardi?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-the-dead-pony-cardi#post-227600 Thu, 07 Oct 2010 00:54:17 +0000 Maya 227600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This is what I mean!!! Too many YLFers judge Anthro by the few really weird/stupid things that are posted here...but they are not representative of the whole store! LOOK AT THAT POLKA DOT DRESS. It is fabulous. taylor on "Remember the dead pony cardi?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-the-dead-pony-cardi#post-227596 Thu, 07 Oct 2010 00:49:29 +0000 taylor 227596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I don't get Anthro :( OR.... With that kind of money you could buy something of impeccable quality and pleasing to the eye. Sparky on "Remember the dead pony cardi?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-the-dead-pony-cardi#post-227586 Thu, 07 Oct 2010 00:35:55 +0000 Sparky 227586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Maya, what I love most about Anthro are the dresses. That dot print one is to die for! Best way to get more good Anthro stuff on YLF is for you to buy it and model it for us. Or try it on in the store and post pics from the dressing room. Maya on "Remember the dead pony cardi?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-the-dead-pony-cardi#post-227583 Thu, 07 Oct 2010 00:30:23 +0000 Maya 227583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The only way in which I can justify this "collection" of bizarre animal-themed items is that at least they aren't REAL dead animals... Still love Anthro though. I don't know why only the weirdest, ugliest items end up on YLF...as opposed to things like <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?subCategoryId=CLOTHES-DRESSES-PRINTED&id=18874305&catId=CLOTHES-DRESSES&pushId=CLOTHES-DRESSES&popId=CLOTHES&sortProperties=&navCount=10&navAction=top&fromCategoryPage=true&selectedProductSize=&selectedProductSize1=&color=018&isSubcategory=true&isProduct=true&isBigImage=&templateType=subCategory">this</a>, which make my heart sing. Sparky on "Remember the dead pony cardi?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-the-dead-pony-cardi#post-227576 Thu, 07 Oct 2010 00:15:13 +0000 Sparky 227576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Khris, I hadn't even looked at the price when I posted ~ just about fainted when I went back to have a look-see. That would make a pretty expensive Halloween costume!! I think it would scare my boys. The scarf's eyes look crazed to me, which is why I immediately thought, "rabid fox." I've wandered into Anthro a few times and liked a few things, but I've never bought anything from there. Yet. It might be a while before I go back into the store. I'm scared of the dead ponies, flying mallards and rabid foxes. Hm, another plus for online shopping! Reneeb, no one has posted any reviews yet, so I'm wondering if anyone has bought it too. Julie, you're right! It does look like a draft stopper. But one that would also keep burglars out. Love the idea of collective acid tripping amongst the creative team. I think Anne is right, there's a pool going on. Reneeb on "Remember the dead pony cardi?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-the-dead-pony-cardi#post-227530 Wed, 06 Oct 2010 22:29:15 +0000 Reneeb 227530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ That is creepy.. Do you think anybody would but that thing? Mamapicklejuice on "Remember the dead pony cardi?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-the-dead-pony-cardi#post-227529 Wed, 06 Oct 2010 22:28:38 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 227529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It's items like this that make me think Anthro is totally yanking our chains. Marigold on "Remember the dead pony cardi?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-the-dead-pony-cardi#post-227518 Wed, 06 Oct 2010 22:10:20 +0000 Marigold 227518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh goodness. Can you believe that in my (European) family the elderly ladies (my Grandma, her sisters and my great-grandmother) all take pride in wearing their fox stolas.... The real thing with feet, tail and head, it always gave me shivers as a kid. Kid you not! The funny thing is that my uncle - a hunter - provided them all... (No, I'm not from Transylvania!) shana on "Remember the dead pony cardi?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-the-dead-pony-cardi#post-227508 Wed, 06 Oct 2010 22:02:23 +0000 shana 227508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ LOL! I actually think that fox looks really creepy - like it would frighten little children if you walked around wearing it! Beth, I'm the same way - I LOVE to look around in anthropologie but my actual purchases are few and far between and definitely the more tame items rather than the "signature" ones.

With this scarf, they have crossed the line from whimsical into freakish.

That is hilarious. It looks like a project one of the kindergarten classes at my school put together. I have a sick fascination with Anthro. I can't walk by and not go in, but I've never bought a thing there.

My three year old may like it! Auburn on "Remember the dead pony cardi?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-the-dead-pony-cardi#post-227382 Wed, 06 Oct 2010 18:22:40 +0000 Auburn 227382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I actually find it really scary. Why did they give the fox a FACE? Anne, I think you're on to something though if the fox scares me now, I can only imagine what it would be like on an acid trip! kellygirl on "Remember the dead pony cardi?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-the-dead-pony-cardi#post-227373 Wed, 06 Oct 2010 18:02:35 +0000 kellygirl 227373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Geez, I'd never knit that but I'd wear it for Halloween.

Now I only need to prove part B of my theory, which is that they also run an office pool and the first employee to obtain photographic "man on the street" evidence of someone wearing this stuff takes it all ...
