Yay! The Free People May catalog drops tomorrow, but everything pretty much came out today (needless to say, my order is already in.....www.freepeople.com). This month, instead of using models, they decided to use girls that work for them. I think it's a great idea! These are the women that make Free People what it is. They make the decisions of what's in and out each month. I think it's great that the company appreciates the ladies that work there. I also think it's cool to see the clothes on real people. Sometimes, when I try on FP clothes, I wonder if they kept us "real girls" in mind (I mean not too many of us successfully wore the "Desert Maxi"). They girls look like they could have rolled out of bed and put these outfits together.
This months clothes, definitely have a tribal feel. Lots of bold patterns. Popular colors were coral and white....these colors look great with the military green that's in style. I would dare to say it's hippy safari chic this month.
Who knows what next month will bring ;)
You all know I will throw gobs of money out for really random stuff. But the prices on this stuff is just insane! On the low end there are things for $100 but on the high end, things like the moccasins above are $1000.
To make matters worse, this stuff can not be returned. Because they are selling it online, you won't be able to try it on either.
Does this make sense to anyone?!!?! I have to say I am very disappointed in Free People. You would think when you pay $400 for a lace vest that you would at least be able to try it on and return it if it didn't fit.
I think I'll take the risk and hit Haight Street an my mom's closet to see if I can find any of this stuff.
Beautiful stuff, but MAJORLY disappointed. Won't be buying this stuff :(
