Flirt Boutique is just one more reason why West 7^th is quickly becoming one of our favorite places to shop in Fort Worth.  Fashioned after every girl’s dream closet, Flirt carries trendy day dresses, chic tops, adorable jeans and stylish jewelry.  It’s the perfect place for a date night outfit or that “it” dress you’ve been wanting for your upcoming spring formal.

Next time you meet the girls for cocktails at Patrizio’s or Tillman’s, go a little early and scope out new finds at Flirt.  Or, better yet, meet your friends at the store to enjoy a glass of wine at their wine bar and sip as you shop!  Be sure to say hi to store pup, Paisley, while you’re there—she’s just as cute as the clothes you’ll find at Flirt.

Ever checked out Stella’s Boutique on Bluebonnet Circle? Well we have and now we can’t get enough! After we finished gawking at the virtually endless selection of cute dresses, we had a hard time leaving without checking out the vintage handbags and mason jar wine glasses.

This is our go-to shop for a fun pair of earrings or a delightful smelling candle for a birthday girl. Being so close to campus, they have a great selection of purple gear, which you’ll need for TCU’s fast-approaching baseball season. It’s safe to say they have TCU fever and we can’t blame them. When you stop in, be sure to say hi to adorable store pup, Stella. Follow Stella’s on Facebook for discount alerts and girls night out events!

Shoe Gypsy is always on our shopping list when we’re in Fort Worth and need to look fabulous. It touts a chic minimalist style and local feeling. Shoe Gypsy has rotating inventory with a blend of men’s and women’s clothing and accessories, including jewelry made by local artists and an entire wall dedicated to shoes. Most days you can find owner Tabitha Hunt in store with her puggle, Lucy. Shoe Gypsy carries brands like Dolce Vita, Poetic License and Seychelles for women, and P.F. Flyers and J Shoes for men. Their clothing selection carries a mix of Naked Zebra, Gentle Fawn and Ben Sherman to name a few. Located right off of Park Hill, Shoe Gypsy is less than 10 minutes from the TCU campus—any further and we’d start having withdrawals.

The Varsity, located on Blue Bonnet circle, was started this year by TCU alums tired of the limited fan gear available around campus.  Devoted exclusively to selling TCU and purple merchandise, this store brings a touch of class to tailgating.  Expect merchandise for men, women and children, as well as tailgating accessories. Find a great purple sports coat and matching bowtie for guys or a cute sundress for afternoon games for the ladies.  Brands include Naked Zebra, Charlie Jade, Vineyard Vines and Ralph Lauren to name a few.  Visit them on Facebook here.

A TCU girl’s game day outfit is a well-planned combination of purple.  There’s usually a dress involved, and most likely she’ll be showing her Texas spirit with a pair of cowboy boots. Don’t forget the purple accessories, either. While tailgating, you’ll spot purple headbands, bags, jewelry and manicured nails in Debora Lippmann’s “Call Me Irresponsible” purple.

Dirty Laundry on University has a great selection of purple dresses, skirts and tops. If you’re trying for a more casual-yet-stylish look for the game, they also carry a line of vintage-inspired TCU t-shirts. The newest TCU boutique, off of Blue Bonnet circle, is The Varsity. The Varsity is devoted to selling only TCU attire. While they carry more apparel for guys (make sure your beau is wearing his purple polo), they also have a selection of dresses, tops and even some trendy rompers. For jewelry, purses and scarves, Lane Knight on Camp Bowie has excellent selections. Check out these purple Game Day style ideas:
