To much of our surprise, it is reported to be a high of 78 degrees in Tallahassee this week. It looks like spring has arrived early and it’s time to bare some skin! As we pack away our winter coats, scarves, stockings, and boots, our wardrobes are looking a bit drab. The options are scarce with our favorite spring wear still in our hometown closets. This sunny weather leaves us in a shopping frenzy as we prepare for weekend happy hours and swimwear season, but have no fear, Her Campus is here to help.
With the rise of new fashion icons like Katy Perry and Rihanna, it’s interesting to see what styles will be on the market this spring. Many students will immediately look towards Governor Square and the Tallahassee Mall for their shopping solutions. Forever21 just received 2000 new springtime looks and Old Navy will always offer good bathing suit deals, but while shopping in these hot spots will give you various options, it will leave you looking like everyone else.
Her Campus would like to offer you only the most original shopping experiences in Tallahassee. If you’re looking for a unique twist or a blast from the past to adorn your wardrobe, check out a few of these Tallahassee gems.
