Anthropologie: Why It's Hard For Me To Shop There

I like Anthropologie.  I really do.  The problem is that most of the stuff they carry makes me look like I'm twelve years old.  I'm petite, vertically challenged, small, short, etc...  And when I wear a dress or shirt that contains bows, ruffles, patterns (especially flower-patterns), poofy sleeves, and/or cutesy-buttons, I look like a little girl.  Not a look that I'm really going for these days.  Nor does it make my bf happy when others think that he's rocking the cradle.  So I searched hard in the sale section today during my trip to Anthropologie.  And I managed to find this purple summery shirt that works for me...plus, it's on sale for $19.95:
