Urban Outfitters and y no me gusta

Yesterday I went into Urban Outfitters for the first time ever. I was hoping they would have Jeffrey Campbells so I could find out what size I am and thus order some Litas. No joy there, but I did fall in love with the clothes a little. Baggy jumpers? Denim shorts? Quirky shoes? Yes please!

I saw a few things I wanted but decided to leave them and think it over, and then go back today to try them on and decide then (taking lots of photos in the pricess, which are at the bottom of this entry bahahahaha).

Now today, I find my experience very different. Yesterday the place was practically empty. Today, it was full of girls. All were about 5 years younger than me and were dressed EXACTLY THE SAME AS EACH OTHER. As if that wasn't creepy enough, they all gave me the hairy eyeball the whole time I was there, and I felt very much as if I didn't fit in. Not very welcoming!

A pastel jumper caught my eye, and I was really happy because I never have luck finding fairy-kei jumpers. But it was like £60! The brand new Angelic Pretty dress I was wearing cost less than that. Ridiculous!

So I made my way to the sale section, feeling a bit bummed out and uncomfortable. Turns out the jumper I wanted wasn't available in my size. I tried it on anyway, but it was just too big =[ I tried two tees as well, but couldn't really decide on one. Also when I took it back off a huge chunk of my hair got caught in the security tag. I was so worried about breaking my hair or the tab! Would have been mortifying to walk out of the changing rooms in my bloomers to get them to take the tag off to free me Dx luckily I escaped, but my hair isn't too happy. The other tee I liked, but it was a little big. I checked back on the table anyway, and turns out there was an S lurking underneath something else! I hope it fits. I didn't want to go back and try something again!

But I emerged from the changing rooms (which were stupidly gloomy, as you can probably tell), with my coat now hanging open just to rub in the fact that I was the only person in the building who was uniquely dressed. I only survived that place because I've learnt to do my 'bitch walk' in such places when on my own. I put on my bitch face and swagger around as if I own the place. No one will mess with you if you have that attitude =P

I bought my tee, and the guy on till ignored me for about a minute when I was stood there in front of the tills, too shy to interrupt his pointless fidgetting with stuff behind there. Again, not welcoming. And when he did ring up my purchases, he was SO SLOW! Ugh.

After that I got the hell out of there, still getting glares as I went. Well screw you guys!

I'd like to say I won't go back there, but I'm gonna watch that pastel jumper like a hawk until it goes into the sale. ^_^'


Here's the jumper that was too big. I know it's meant to be oversized, but it just didn't feel right. There was a nicer jumper that was more red too, but they only had that in L!


This is the tee I put back. It was marked O/S, so I guess it's one size. It was actually a lot wider than it looks in this pic. I'm tempted to go back and get it though as it was only a tenner (ik still kinda expensive haha) and it would be great for Discord, Hallowe'en and for just lounging around in. I'm a little too short to pull it off well though. Thoughts?


Here's me in the tee I bought! Reaaaaaally baggy.


And here's actual one I bought, which was a size smaller than the one I tried.


And outfit shots, because I can. Decided to keep this dress now. Just found that you can make the straps longer, which should sort out my issues. If not, I can get my gran to add corsetting so the waist doesn't flap about so much.

Have a lot to do this evening! I am going to a meet tomorrow and I still haven't picked out an outfit (although I have already bought my lunch...what). I also need to shower, pretty up (nails etc), figure out what to do with my hair tomorrow, and other such things. I just want to eat and play WOW Dx

    1. Ahhh I may have to go back for it if it's still there! I was leaving it, but now I kinda want it again haha. Such an awkward cut on me though due to my height =P but oversized things are so comfy!!
