Urban Outfitters

It may be pushing forty degrees, but the stores are overflowing with fall fashions and all the short sleeved tops and sundresses have been pushed into a corner. If you venture into the back corner of Urban Outfitters you will find racks of summer merchandise reduced by a further 50%. There are dresses, tank tops, tunics, pants and skirts to choose from. You can pick up a vinyl tote bag in lavender, yellow, black or white for $12.99. The shoulder straps - large enough to fit over normal size shoulders, two inside pockets and generous sprinkling of sparkles on the outside make this bag both funky and practical.
