Dear Urban Outfitters...

I used to really appreciate your selection of goods; the pre-worn denim and artfully reconstructed thrift store clothes, the seemingly hand-picked wares from up-and-comers and staples like Fred Perry and Puma alike. I even didn't mind paying a couple bucks more for some of your t-shirts even though they were probably made in the same factory as those made for Forever 21 and Express. You guys cornered the market especially for us suburban kids who coveted the wardrobes of hip, urban youth - seen only in the style columns and our favorite blogs. But now, UO, you've gone too far. You are officially a novelty store for the bored and rich.
