Back in September my sister and I attended a styling event at Madewell. It was a casual evening of shopping and being styled by the employees of the store. They helped you put new outfits together, or accessorize. They gave you advice, size and fit recommendations, and made you feel like you were the only customer in the store they cared about.
The employees at this Madewell are absolteuly phenomonal.
So after that fun night, we had established a bit of a friendship with a few of the girls and they asked Lauren and I if we wanted to host our own styling event.
Um, yep. Yep, we sure do.
For these "customer" hosted events, they are typically smaller and more intimate, so we invited a few of our friends to come out for an evening of shopping & dessert.
It was a really great group of girls and I only wish I would have had more time to stand outside of each fitting room and check out their looks! (wow, that's a creeper statement if I ever heard one. lets keep that in context.)
About an hour into the event I remembered that I had my phone on me and began snapping pics. I missed a few girls who had finished up shopping, but here are a few I grabbed from my phone.
Some cute shoppers!
Carrie and Molly both out of their comfort zones. ALSO caught mid-laugh.
The last ones out the door! Lindsey, in the center, was one of the immensely helpful stylists at Madewell that evening!
A lot of my find's were on sale + an additional 30% off. I looked up some links to share on the blog but I noticed something in my search. The sale prices online are wildly different than the sale prices in store. Soooo, keep that in mind as you shop. If you live near a Madewell, stop in the store for the better deal!
Have you shopped at Madewell yet? It's a good mix of preppy and hipster w/ a dash of Urban Outfitters mixed in.
Here are a few of my other favorites:

If you haven't checked out Madewell yet, you should. And if you are unsure how to work some of their pieces into your wardrobe, be sure to ask the employees as they are there to help--and great at it!
Everything looks great....wish there was a store nearby! Happy weekend :)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like so much fun! :) I haven't shopped at Madewell yet. I'll have to make my way over there some time.

Hilary and I had so much fun. I'm wearing my black polka dot today. Thank you again for inviting us to the event. There are so many cute things that I wish I could have purchased. You are absolutely right, their stylists are incredible! H and I went to JCrew after we left Madewell and it was a totally different experience. You know I love me some JCrew, but Madewell customer service is superior to any other store I've been to in a while.
ReplyDeletetotally agree--madewell just had a warmer, inviting vibe. :)
DeleteAww, the clothes from there are so cute! Wish they had a store in Brazil! LOL hahaha
ReplyDeleteI love your red sweater + black polka dot top combo! Is that from Madewell, or could you share where it's from?
ReplyDeleteThe filters on instagram make it look red and black but it's actually orange and navy! Both are from j.crew outlet!
DeleteWhat a fun event! I'll have to get out to Raleigh and crash your next event (of any kind). ;)
ReplyDeleteI love all the pieces you showed above. And those earrings? #meow <-- Obvious.
I hope you and L have a great time in D.C.!
Man, I love that beaded collar T! Didn't see that. Probably a good thing.
ReplyDeleteThanks to both of you for hosting. We had a great time!
Cute clothes for sure but who could afford those price tags...WOW?!
ReplyDeleteIt was nice to meet you and your sister. I love all of your purchases & I even put some of Lindsey's styling tips to good use this week :). Thanks for hosting!

ReplyDeleteThat is way funny, I check your blog every few days and love your hair tutorials. But today I saw this post and realized that Lindsey from the store looked really familiar. I used to be her counselor in a group called Student Venture in Orlando, FL. Had no idea she had moved. Crazy. Love the post and the stylish outfits!
ReplyDeleteooh i hope you bought #2 it looks sooo great on you!\
ReplyDeletelove it!
We don't have a Madewell around here, but we do have a J. Crew warehouse that sometimes has Madewell items in their sales.
