I Saw My 56-Year-Old Mom Shopping at Free People—36 Picks We're Both Into
This week I found out my mom is a Free People regular. I saw her poking through its new arrivals, cart completely full, and decided to find out what exactly she was loving on a site that I also frequent. Not to say we don't have similar aesthetics, but we definitely don't always choose the same pieces.
So I snooped through her cart to find out what items we were both picking (ideally for the purpose of borrowing them on my next visit). I quickly came to find that there's a multitude of timeless pieces that she and I both loved from longline dresses to sensible boots to playful outerwear. And, of course, traditional basics that are always a good idea like everyday denim and pretty knitwear.
Below, we've curated our joint picks for everything you'll want to keep in your closet for years to come. Keep scrolling to get shopping.
