“What do you think of this?” was the common phrase heard throughout the night, as Southern Methodist University Retail Club’s savvy shoppers tried on clothing, accessories, and jewelry.

SMU Retail Club celebrated the start of the fall semester Wednesday night with a party at Pieces Clothing Boutique, a new store that opened a month ago in Snider Plaza.

Pieces offered a 15 percent discount for all attendees, as well as delicious sweets and sparkling sips.

Members could be found admiring Piece’s trendy, yet affordable fashions in all corners of the store.

“There were so many great finds at Pieces.” Meg Jones, SMU Retail Club Event Coordinator, said.

“I couldn’t justify buying the amazing leather jacket I tried on because it’s still so hot outside, but I got a fabulous gold and turquoise necklace!”

SMU Retail Club’s goal for this year is to host a monthly meeting at a local clothing store, in addition to the scheduled informational meeting on the first Wednesday of each month.

“Parties are a fun way for members to get to know one another and talk about their same interests, all while enjoying a discount on looks they love,” Retail Club president Rebecca Marin said.
