Get the Urban Outfitters Effect mug.A fashionable store with (i'll admit) slightly over-priced clothing. But, hey if somone has the money to buy a certain pair of jeans or a couple shirts they like, then they should be able to buy them without being ridiculed like some of you low-lifes here who love to lable people into certain groups. I like going to Urban Outfitters because it offers clothing and styles not seen at 'all-american' clothing stores such as American eagle or Abercrombie and Fitch. (Nothing wrong with those stores btw, they're just going for a different look.) Urban Outfitters also has clothing that is affordable.

Get the urban outfitters mug.You guys are mean. People who shop there aren't trying to be hipsters. People shouldn't judge people on what they wear. If I see a shirt and I think its cute, I buy it if I have the cash. If not oh well.Really cute shirts, jeans, skirts, furnitures. A bit pricey but its worth it.
