Scene: In Urban Outfitters. T, friend and HomeBoy looking around.

Friend:
I like UO, but sometimes it's hit or miss.
T:
(picks up cluch with tiny bow) Hit.
Friend:
(picks up faded, floral thing) Miss.
T:
It's cool for inspiration, but they try too hard. Then again, I've never been a fan of buying new things that look used. It's...it's faux-thentic.
Friend:
Yeah, and it's overpriced. (chuckles) I like that, "faux-thentic."
T:
If I see something in UO that I like, I always want to cross check with my grandma, my mom and aunts to make sure they don't already have the very thing I'm looking at.
Friend:
Good idea. (picking up some pattern covered thing) I wish they had more of their furniture in-store. I really like the whole Anthro, UO aesthetic.
T:
They are very similar.
Friend:
They're owned by the same people.
T:
Really? I didn't know that - explains a lot. It's like the Banana, GAP, Old Navy trifecta.
Friend:
Exactly. UO is a step down from Anthropologie. It's like the GAP.
T:
Well, I wish they would get a move on that Old Navy version because this is still too much.
