jewelry chooseday

i love anthropologie. i really do. a couple summers ago i happened to be in west edmonton mall and got very excited about the opportunity to shop there (and j was tres patient, thank goodness). however. i cannot for the life of me understand their pricing schemes - some product prices are disturbingly high and others are ridiculously low. the problem is that i have trouble spending money on the higher priced pieces when i cannot see a discernible difference between them, and the lower priced items. this issue is particularly evident in the jewelry department. so let's play a game. each of the necklaces below have been divided into similar pairs. you have to guess which one has the high price and which one is lower.

  1. Haha so interesting - I think anthropologie is insanely overpriced for what you get, jewelry or otherwise. I think the i/j pairing is what shocked me the most.

  2. SOOOO interesting!!! I have a habit of looking at items and automatically choosing the higher priced one. Not sure why. Guess I have expensive taste?? haha!

  3. Ugh...I know exactly what you mean! What is up with that? My tactic to beat them at the pricing game is just to put all of the things I love on my wishlist, and stalk them like crazy until they go on sale. Because the sale prices tend to be pretty fabulous ;)

  4. Haha - it's funny, I actually prefer the cheaper ones!! I wonder what that says about me?

  5. Yeah...they do have some nice pieces, but the prices are insane. I remade two necklaces on my blog from them - one for $88 and one for $428 - which is just ridiculous - More than my car note... check them out if you get a chance! Would love your opinion on them!
