Love them all, especially the dress since I love purple. You could style that dress in so many ways.

i was in uo last week (heck, who am i kidding, im there all the time) and only recall seeing the red tshirt.


Twisted Sleeve Scoop Neck Tee


 


i didn't try it on or anything so i can't review that aspect...but, imo, the material was really thin and the twisted stuff on the shoulder was wierd. ya know how some of thier tshirts are nice and then there are the others that is listed as faded or worn in, well, that's how this was. it was really thin and didn't seem as if it would be flattering. im basing the flattering thing on the fact that ive tried on other tshirts of thier's with the thin material and it hangs funny, like its thin but not soft enough like a worn in tshirt should be. just cheap thin. and the shoulders are wierd, the twisting might have been cute if the material wasn't so thin but because it is is just looks wierd. and if i recall correctly its one of those shirts where there is no true hem either on the bottom, collar, or sleeves, where it's supposed to look cut instead of sewn. and i don't like that either. so...i wouldn't buy the shirt, not even at any price.


 


hope that helps a little!

relrel:  Thanks... I was thinking of skipping that one anyway, because I figured it would be exactly as you described.

I saw this IRL. I think it's cute if you have the right body...you have to be curvy enough so that the dress doesn't hang and make you look like a house, as it does with the model. But UO dresses don't have a lot of give in the chest area, so I didn't bother trying it on. Definitely worth $40.

The fabric on the dress is really thin and looks a little cheap, but that sort of helps the thrift-store thing going on, so it was ok, just too expensive for me right now and I was pretty sure it would shrink when washed (Kind of a large weave, and also likely to ravel at the seams). So I passed. Besides, if I tried the dress over jeans look my profs here would DIE...
