The Francesca’s Friends & Family Event

This teacher couldn’t wait to go shopping for back to school! What a better to shop than to attend a one-day only sale at Francesca’s! The highly anticipated Friends & Family event was held at all stores and online. I visited the Pikesville location to share their successes and find a few of my own. 😉

To celebrate their one-day sale of 25% off of everything in the store, Francesca’s served cake pops and had 3 giveaways at noon, 6 and 3 p.m.

This chic lady checking out at this counter had no idea that she was going to be first giveaway winner of the cute salmon and tan colored clutch hanging next to her head! This was such a steal!

Francesca’s collections not only include clothing, but shoes and a plethora of accessories. Many new fall items could be found throughout the store.

This lovely shopper, @niksnak (IG), shared with me that Francesca’s is her absolute favorite go to shopping spot! When I asked her why she poured out reasons: she likes the quality of the clothes as they don’t mess up in the wash, the prices are reasonable and she loved the unique prints and styles that could be found in the clothing. Her and I also picked out some of the same pieces in the store–great minds think alike! 🙂

I had the opportunity to inspire a customer through pairings I made in the store. After matching this salmon colored, jeweled necklace with the royal blue, lace dress, a customer excitedly admired the pairing sharing that she would have never thought to put these 2 colors together. I noticed that when I walked away she began making more bold comparisons of accessories and clothing in the store. 🙂

Overall, this event seemed to be a success! I had friends as far away as Florida share that they would be attending the event that day as well. I cannot wait for them post what they found! I found 3 stylish pieces myself. Here is a sneak peek of one of my upcoming Francesca’s inspired ensembles:
