I was invited to the Esther Penn x Fortress Festival shopping event this past Thursday evening by Marissa Row, friend and blogger. It was a great event overall and a great time to catch up with friends in the blogging community. This was my first time visiting an Esther Penn store and hearing about the Fortress Festival.

I love a good boutique. Founded in 2014, Esther Penn’s Dallas location is located off Henderson Avenue, right next door to Bar Stellar. The space is absolutely beautiful! It’s aesthetically clean and organized to perfection. The assessability of the shop and my ability to find exactly what I’m looking for is one thing that I am very picky about when I shop. Esther Penn delivers on that.
Because there are so many, I decided to list my top 3 reasons why I love Esther Penn!
1. The pieces they offer are in-style, unique and equally as gorgeous
Though the prices are slightly high, you truly get what you pay for. Which are high-quality pieces for all occasions at a boutique where you can find everything you want, and more! That is one thing about boutiques in Dallas… when you can find one you love that offers items that none of the competitors provide, keep them close!
2. Founders, Kacy and Alyson personally handpick every item in Esther Penn
All of the pieces in the boutique is from Los Angeles to guarantee a great selection to shop from everytime you visit. They even have a “we’ve got to have this test.” The time, care and love that is put into Esther Penn by every member of the staff is evident. It only encourages me to support the local business even more than I already do.
3. Even better, the merchandise is strategically organized
I love when things are coordinated and organized by a theme! It gives me peace of minds and puts me at ease, because when I shop, I go in knowing exactly what I am looking for. Even the clothes in my closet are organized by color. However, everything is so cute at Esther Penn, even though I would go in knowing what I want, I would most likely leave with more than what I planned on purchasing.
Make sure to check out Esther Penn and see all of the beautiful hand-picked pieces in their Dallas store. Esther Penn tops, dresses, bottoms, sweaters, outerwear and shoes can all be purchased on their website as well.
Here are my top 3 favorite pieces from their online shop:
