New Sponsor: Francesca’s Collections

Ladies, meet Francesca.

Francesca, meet the ladies of Style Me Thrifty.

Now that we have the formal introductions out of the way, it’s time to dish: Style Me Thrifty has a new blog sponsor! The fab Francesca’s Collections!

I learned about Francesca’s through another DC blogger’s site and my immediate reaction was: how do I not know about this lovely little company?! I did some thorough research – ie, online shopping and a trip to the 3rd level of the Pentagon City Mall – and I felt like I had hit the jackpot. If you haven’t shopped here before, you’re in for a treat: they have a ton of affordable girly dresses, trendy tops in bold patterns, adorable jewels, and funky knick-knacks.

Think of Fran’s this way: if Modcloth and Forever 21 had a baby, it would be named Francesca. Random, I know! But Fran is both indie and trendy. In addition to a great online shop, each store front carries a slightly different inventory, so every item you purchase feels more special than your typical mass retailer.

Francesca’s was kind enough to send over a few pieces to sample. Cute, right?

Here’s the best part: Francesca’s Collections is offering Style Me Thrifty readers 25% off any purchase during the month of April using the discount code MADELINE. Yes, 25% off! So what are you waiting for? Save money, go shop!
