Anthro has been trying to tell us something for months. For example...the Take Action Dress in Polka Dot I wore on Wednesday. Anthro left us no alternative but to purchase this dress full price. They also told us to grab the Pomflower Shift and the Mompos Dress before it was gone. Have you noticed how fast the Fall line-up of Chie Mihara's is selling out.
The Nightshades Heels are gone... at full price
The Points of Light Heels are just about gone... at full price
Anthro is stocking only a few pairs in each size of these very expensive items. They would rather sell out than put these items on sale. Granted, you can find these items elsewhere. That isn't going to keep Anthro in Business. So what will?
I plan to purchase as much full priced Anthropologie as my budget will allow
Which means in the long run I will have less Anthro in my closet
So be it

Now You See Me
Do you see the connection? Then feel free to follow my lead.
If the Fall line-up is not everything Anthro has promised it will be, we will all be returning to the Medieval Pre-Anthro Mall shopping days. It was worse than torture then! Even more so now that we have experienced Anthropologie. It's my daily motivation I can't happily live without.
Now you don't
This is where Anthropologie will be if we don't do something soon. I am happy to do this alone. At least I can stand up and say I tried to make a difference.
Truth is... I can't make a difference by myself
It takes an entire community to save a town
I know this isn't what you want to hear. But you do need to hear it. I'm just a small Anthro Blogger carrying a big message that contains a hopeful suggestion.
Why does it feel appropriate to show my lace edged shorts in Black and White?

Please shop at Anthropologie tomorrow. Don't make your goal to fill your closet with as much as it will hold. Instead, buy those special full priced Fall items that you really want.
I purchased a full price Dress Tuesday HERE
I will no longer link back to other retailers on this blog.
Not until the day I know that Anthro is sound in collective mind, body and soul.

Nor do I plan to shop anywhere but Anthro
Sorry J Crew and Modcloth
I am a Proud Anthropologie Blogger in my Heart
My thoughts and prayers go out to all the employees and their families that depend on the success of Anthropologie.
On Friday I will share a very special happy ending with all of you...
