My birthday is in a couple of days, so naturally my birthday weekend wish was to make a trip to the Free People in New Orleans. Before my significant other and I ventured over to Magazine Street, we had a somewhat peaceful lunch at Café du Monde, with beignets, a frozen latte and hot chocolate.
I know Free People's products backward and forward, and the store basically had all my online wants. And more. I've been there a few times before, and it seems like they now have more merchandize to choose from. In true FP spirit, an employee's 11-year-old Jack Russell was running around playing with and barking at customers. He kept my boyfriend busy. Another employee was totally rocking a pair of flares.
I took everything I've been goggling over into the dressing room, plus a few items I've never noticed online. Bralettes (FP lace is tops), no-zipper bell bottoms, a vegan shearling jacket, baseball tee, fedora and flannel sequined top.
The bell bottoms were a no-go. Literally threw them off my body as soon as I put them on. The bralettes obviously rocked, although I'm waiting for my birthday coupon to order one online--it's a basic so I can handle the wait. The baseball tee didn't wow me, but I was completely drooling over the shearling jacket, flannel button-down and fedora, which I've wanted since the summer.
Clipperton Fedora. So glad they had a green left. I wore it today and got three compliments, all from men might I add. It's sitting prettily on my dresser.
Vegan Shearling Motorcycle Jacket. These dressing room selfies are kind of embarrassing. It's pretty costly so I had to pass it up, but it'll go on sale right? A little stiff in the arms, but I'm sure the sleeves will break in. Notice I said will. I'm also wearing J Brand jeans (811 Mid Rise Skinny) and Jeffrey Campbells. Both I already own.
Plaid Sequin Yoke Buttondown. Can I just say the online photo of this shirt does it ZERO justice. My picture is pretty awful, too. Such a beautiful marigold color, and the sequins are to die for. No hesitation in buying this jewel.
