Free People’s March 2016 Catalog

Free People March campaign
Because this spring is all about the bohemian vibe with a heavy retro influence, I thought I'd share the Free People March campaign images with all of you for inspiration. Starring models Gemma Ward, Bambi Northwood-Blyth, Phoebe Tonkin, Emily Baker and Tallulah Morton, Free People's March 2016 Catalog takes us on a journey through Australia with four editorials shot by photographers Greg Kadel and Matthew Sprout. You'll see flowy off the shoulder tops, girly dresses, flirty skirts, earthy fringed jackets, sporty pants, breezy cover-ups, and flowy rompers. For accessories, expect to see brimmed hats, bohemian beach inspired jewelry, large chic sunglasses, gladiator sandals, and classic versatile sneakers.

To get Free People cheap, keep an eye on their sale section, and stalk sites like Poshmark and . Or, head over to Target.com where they've curated an entire '70s-inspired selection of clothes and accessories for spring. This cold-shoulder dress, peasant blouse and these high-rise wide leg jeans are all giving off Free People vibes for less than $30.
