Go back to school with the Maude girls! With lots of people heading back to classes this week we decided to do a round up of some of our favorite back to school looks to give you some inspiration for this school year. We asked some of our employees to take pictures in their favorite Maude apparel and show you around the University of Arkansas campus!
Devon: When going to class most people opt for comfort. You can still have the comfortability when heading to classes and keep your outfit stylish! Pairing a tote bag for your textbooks is a great way to change up the traditional school outfit. Devon paired the Belize Tank Top with the Levi's Straight Ankle Women's Jean. Then to finish off her outfit she wore the Seychelles Low Key Glow Up.
Liv: This year Liv is going to be Sophomore. She went to go explore campus and took some pictures along the way! Here Liv is wearing our brand new Beverly Hills Sweatshirt. She paired this look with our Levi's Ribcage Short and the ROAM Fuzzy Slider- Nude.
Sophie: This year Sophie is new to campus and is a Freshman this year. She just went through sorority recruitment and is excited to be getting involved! She paired this casual school outfit with her sorority shirt. Our newest obsession for classes are these Saturday Sweatpants! They are perfect for the upcoming colder months!
Shelby: Our girl Shelby also opted for a more dressed up look for her first day back to classes! Pairing a cute graphic tee with a basic bottom is a great way to look like you spent time putting together your outfit! Shelby is wearing our Poppin' Wheelies Desert Wash Oversized Tee. She paired her top with Levi's Ribcage Shorts and Seychelles Driving Force Sandals- Cognac Leather.
We hope that this school year is your best one yet!! Hopefully this gives you a little bit of inspiration for what to wear to your classes and gives a glimpse of what some of our staff have been styling this week! If you ever see any of your staff girls on campus, come say hi! See ya soon- xx #MaudeSquad
Hi #MaudeSquad, welcome back! We hope your having an amazing week. We wanted to continue introducing some of our staff members. To do just that, today we are introducing you to Sophie Joyner!
Sophie is such a bright light at Maude and brings such a positive energy with her to our team! She is one of our newer staff members, but since being hired she has made such a big impact. We are so lucky to have her! Keep reading to learn more about Sophie!
How long have you been working at Maude?: "I have been working at Maude since the beginning of April! I’ve had a couple of other jobs before this one and it really put into perspective to me how much time can pass during a shift when you truly enjoy your job. I am so blessed to work here and I absolutely love all the women I’m surrounded by."
Why do you love working at Maude?: "I love working at Maude because I am constantly learning new things and because I am surrounded by so many genuine, sweet girls. Working for a small business has given me so many new opportunities. I not only have learned how to keep the sales floor looking it’s best, but I have also learned how to engage with customers through social media. I have had so much fun using my personal style and creativity to create Instagram and TikTok content for Maude. Posting on social media has become one of my favorite things at Maude and I love that each of us girls has a chance to showcase our individual styles. I could not have a better staff to be surrounded by. We are constantly encouraging each other and contributing to making Maude a positive environment."
What is your favorite Maude outfit?: "I chose these outfits because they are my favorite new arrivals we got in recently! They are great staple pieces that can be styled so many different ways!"
What are you most excited for this upcoming school year?: "I will be a freshmen in the fall, so I am most excited to meet new people. I will be rushing in a few weeks and I am so thrilled to find my home and meet the girls who will be my lifelong friends. I am already dreaming of all the game days and formals I’ll have this year."
What do you want to after college, what is your dream job?: "After college I plan on becoming a fashion buyer in a bigger city, like Dallas. Once I learn more about the clothing industry, I would love to own my own clothing boutique. It has always been my dream to have my own store, but since I’ve worked Maude, I’ve fell in love with the idea of it even more."
How would you describe your personal style?: "My style inspiration comes from a few different social media influencers. @acquired.style, @keneurich, and @brit_harvy are some of my faves. I would say my personal style is a mixture of trendy, feminine, and classic. I’ve been loving all the coastal grandmother and 90’s fashion trends coming back, but I’ve learned how dressing for your body type and coloring sometimes is more important than following certain trends. I really find my style comes out when I’m looking for items that fit my body type, rather than when I just try to fit the mold of what’s trending."
What’s your favorite thing to do in Fayetteville right now?: "My favorite thing to do in Fayetteville has to be going shopping or going out to eat. My fave places to eat recently have been Mermaids, Bocca, Woodstone, and Cava."
What’s your favorite movie/ tv show and why?: "One of my all time favorite tv shows is How To Get Away With Murder. It’s not as intense as it sounds, but it’s really good if you love a good murder mystery."
We love Sophie and all she does for Maude and our customers! Leave us a comment down below and show some love to our girl Sophie! Shop any of these looks online 24/7 or in-store! See ya soon- xx #MaudeSquad

How long have you been working at Maude?: "I have been working at Maude since December of 2021, so about a year and a half now! I started working at Maude my senior year of high school, and now am going to be a sophomore in college. I was so beyond excited when I got this job because I have always been passionate about fashion and styling outfits and I wanted to help others with that as well, and help them feel confident in their outfit!"
Why do you love working at Maude?: "I love working at Maude because it has the most amazing group of women and has always had such a positive energy! The environment is so welcoming and loving no matter what and I just can’t get over how many friendships I have made here! It truly is a place that I can call my second home! Whenever I walk into Maude it never fails to put a smile on my face!"
What is your major/ dream job?: "My major is Apparel Merchandising and Product Development with a minor in Business. After I graduate college, I would love to move to a big city like New York and work there as a fashion buyer. After that I would love to come back to the NWA area and open my own business and have my own boutique. Ever since I started working at Maude, I knew I wanted to have my own store one day. Our owner Becca, has had such an impact on me and has for sure influenced me to want to own my own business in life!"
How would you describe your personal style?: "I would describe my personal style as very vibrant and trendy. I tend to go more with the trends, which of course right now is costal grandmother/granddaughter but I also love bright colors and anything that is a statement piece! I have been so into dresses lately and have probably worn one every day of summer! My style inspiration has to come from a lot of the maude girls if I am being honest! All my co workers have different styles and it’s so cool to see what they paired together! It for sure gives me ideas on what I should style next! I would also say I’ve been obsessed with Kennedy Crichlow and Mary Ralph Lawsons style. They own a brand called daily drills that I am also obsessed with. Their styles are so cute and give off street style but in a classy way!"
If you had to put together an outfit(s) from Maude what would you choose and why?: "I chose the Levi’s Ribcage jeans with our Sage Striped Button Down. The Levi’s Ribcage jeans are one of our best sellers and they have always been such a staple in my closet! They go with absolutely everything and can be dressed up or down! The Sage Button Down is one of my new favorites because buttons downs are so in style right now! They are so versatile and can be thrown on with jeans, shorts, or even as a swim cover up! I love to style mine with tons of gold jewelry!"

What's a typical Saturday look like for you?: "A typical Saturday for me could either be working at Maude or spending time with family and friends! I love going to the lake and I going shopping around NWA. Iced coffee has become my weakness and you can either catch me grabbing one from Onyx or Arsagas and then for dinner I love to go to Local Lime or Tavola!"
What are you looking forward to most for this upcoming school year?: "I think I am most excited to just be back in Fayetteville and to hangout with all my friends. I love tailgating and going to all the football games. I'm also excited to get more into my classes for my major. I also get to live in my sorority house this year, so it will be really fun to live so close to all my friends!"
We are so thankful for Shelby and all she does for Maude and our customers! Next time you see her at the store make sure you say hi! Show some love to Shelby in the comments down below. See ya soon -xx #MaudeSquad!

Hi #MaudeSquad ! For this post we wanted to switch things up a bit! It's been a while since we have introduced you to our staff. We think of you all as our family, so we wanted to show off ours by letting you get to know us a bit better! The first staff highlight is our very own: Devon Cowell 💖
Devon is one of the sweetest girls you will ever meet. She is the hardest worker and is a go-getter with any task you give her. Devon also has some of the best personal style, so ask her for some outfit advice if you ever see her in store! We wanted to ask Devon a few questions to help you get to know her better:
When did you start working at Maude?: "I started working at Maude February 1st, 2022! I was really excited once I got the job because I had been a customer for a number of years. So it was the perfect job for me to start working at. Since working here I have loved being able to be to work with some of my closest friends. Lately I have taken over our TikTok account. It's so fun being able to be creative and getting to do something new everyday I come into work.!"
What is your major?: "My major is Marketing and my minor is in Supply Chain Management. After college I would like to continue working in social media marketing and pursue a career where I'm in charge of a brand's marketing campaigns."
Hometown: "Austin, Texas!! I love being in NWA area, but love being able to go back home as much as I can!"
Who is your style inspiration?: "Defiantly Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. She has a way of being timeless but on trend at the same time. I find myself wanting to recreate a lot of her outfits constantly."
What does a typical Saturday look like for you?: "This summer I normally go to the pool with friends, and then go shopping around Fayetteville. After that I'll go on a walk at Lake Fayetteville with my dog; Penny. Then I'll end the day going to eat at Geraldi's."
If you had to put together an outfit at Maude, what would you choose?: "I love a good white dress. It's perfect for really any season and can be dressed up or down! My favorite is the Briela Tie Tank Midi Dress. I would pair it with the Melie Bianco- Andy Vegan Crossbody Bag- Tan and then the Seychelles Made For This Leather Platform Sandal."

It’s finally about to be July and with the changing of the month comes one of our favorite summer holidays - the 4th of July! This holiday is so special and full of summertime fun, making memories with loved ones, and celebrating the United States' freedom! Here at Maude, we wanted to put together a few outfits that will be perfect for whatever plans you have for this upcoming Monday!
Pool Day
Hanging around the water, listening to your favorite music, all while soaking up the sun sounds like an ideal Fourth of July to us! Put on a cute swimsuit and grab those matching sunglasses for a stylish pool outfit. Add a coverup and then you’ll have the perfect ensemble for a day on the lake or lounging by the pool. We love our Levi’s Ribcage Shorts that are perfect to toss on over your swimsuit!

Comfy Outfit for Watching Fireworks
We all know watching a fireworks show under the stars is one of the best parts of the Fourth! The bright colors, the anticipation of which firework is coming next, and that summertime feeling you get when watching fireworks with all your favorite people is so special. Summer nights can get a little cool sometimes so this outfit is a great choice for whatever temperature it is. The bright colors on this FRNCH top will definitely make your outfit pop like a firecracker!
Casual Outfit for the Family BBQ
Nothing says summer like sitting outside while grilling on a hot, sunny day. A family BBQ is the perfect way to celebrate Independence Day, especially after laying out in the sun all day! An easy way to stay comfy and stylish is by throwing on a pair of cut off shorts and a graphic tee. We have so many different options in store that can be styled in so many different ways. Our current staff favorite is the Winky Face Oversized Tee paired with our Levi’s 501 Shorts!
