Anthropologie

First founded in 1992, Anthropologie is designed to follow customers of its parent company, Urban Outfitters, into the next stage of their life. This new concept aims to appeal to 30- to 40-something affluent professional women with total family annual income above $200,000. The clothes still retain the somewhat "hipster" vibe of Urban Outfitters, but are more sophisticated and of a higher quality, and therefore visibly more expensive.

*Hip New York family shopping*

Girl: Oooh, let's go to Urban Outfitters! They have this great new A-line tunic top that'll go really well with the skinny jeans I got there last week.

Mom: Ooh, I used to love wearing that kind of stuff. I know! After, we'll go to Anthropologie to pick me up some similar, more age-appropriate clothing.

Regret for majoring in anthropology.

Whenever I apply for a job, I have to anthropologize about my major.

I anthropologized to my parents last night.

Anthropologize 

When you wear a cute piece of clothing from an expensive establishment, like Anthropologie, and feel guilty for spending that much money on clothing when there are starving children in the world. Every time somebody compliments you and asks where you got it, you feel the need to insist you got it on sale.

I had to Anthropologize when Lexie asked where I got my shirt, insisting it was only $40 in the sale room.

anthropologie

A store that sells ridiculously expensive pieces of junk clothing and claims that they are top of the line items. Just because the top says made in China and has embellishments of chinese rose blossoms on it does not mean it needs to be $200.00. The seams are even coming apart! Nowadays what isn't made in China anyway?

Kelsey:Wow look at that flower print dress in the window of Anthropologie. (We walk inside the store and look at it.)

Jennifer:Pretty but from what I can see by the stitching the company enjoys ripping people off.

To take something cheap and make and accessorize and dress it up, ie. alter it in some way, to make it look like the very cute, but expensive store, Anthropologie.

Person 1: Oh cute necklace! Did you get it from anthropologie?
Person 2: No, but I did anthropologize it!
