As you all may know, I am Free People’s most trusted employee…
…Therefore, I often spend my sometimes monotonous shifts in the stockroom, where I imagine which Barnard majors are represented in select items that the store carries. Last week, I explored how three top-selling shirts at Free People represent History, Human Rights, Art History, Creative Writing, Biology, and Chemistry majors and/or concentrations. As requested, I am back to tell your major what items at Free People say about you with little to know explanation.
Starting off with my fellow dear and beloved English majors. The Homestead Cable Cardigan belongs to us. Bonus points for any English major that is concentrating or minoring in Education Studies. Every one of us needs our trusted cardigan. Need I say more?
The Gola Elan Sneakers are a safe alternative to conforming to the Adidas Samba epidemic (shameless plug to one of last week’s short forms written by yours truly). So, in the spirit of non-conformity, this item belongs to Sociology majors. These are the observant students on campus that did not major in Anthropology because they prefer to study the modern conditions of society, rather than also noting the past. If you wear these sneakers, you recognize the up and coming qualities of the Sociology department.
Next, there is the Libby Vest, belonging to the artists on campus who can also earn an A in calculus. If you wear this vest, you’re probably an Architecture major, and you wear it to spice up your t-shirt and Levi’s 501 Straight Leg jeans combination.
For a fun and silly bonus round, I assign the Levi Low Loose Jeans that Free People carries in just five core washes of blue and black denim. Whether you ascribe to the performing arts line of study or the sciences, these jeans will look rockin’ on you!
If the Barnard campus store manager as well as my store manager are reading this, please consider a collaboration, as that would be greatly appreciated.
