Anthropologie is mostly weird to me--sort of daughter of Sasquatch at times, funny fibers and not sure of quality--but I have bought a few items. I believe I gravitate toward the most conservative items in the store at any given time, which may mean I miss the whole point. I did get a great belt a few months ago that is extremely versatile but different-looking.

Anyway, I noticed on-line in jackets, that along with their quilts and puffy blankety stuff, they are offering several jackets with a very tailored look and lady-like stripes.
Appropos Angie's discussion on utility jackets, I'm interested in the (funny clay color) belted jacket utility-safari looking jacket because it's more streamlined, but worry it may be too short-waisted.
