Rainy Red

Hi Friends!  Is its Friday yet?!  For some reason I feel like we should be way further along in the week already.  Anyway, here is my Monday outfit featuring gloomy skies, rainy streets, and our neighbor's garbage can. Wahoo!

Outfit Details:
Dress- Vintage - for sale in the shop here!
Glasses - c/o Firmoo.com
Jacket + Boots - thrifted

In other news, I am excited to be starting a Braided Bandit monthly newsletter to help announce special sales, the best new vintage, and give you guys a little behind the scenes look of what I have been working on!  If you are interested in being added to the mailing list, there's a new sign up in the left sidebar of the blog where you just add your name and email (I think you have to be in the full site version to see it, not the mobile site).  Or, feel free to comment "I'm in!" below with your email and I will add you! If there is anything in particular you would be interested in hearing about, please let me know in the comments because I would love your input!

Pineapple + Joggers

Monday, I'm ready for ya! Well kind of...  I did start my day by leaving the house with my pants on inside out.  Luckily it was only to do a little volunteer work feeding a local group of outdoor kitties and I don't think they cared much.  Actually, I am sitting here and they are still inside out, which I will probably forget about and will accidentally leave the house again like this.  

Outfit Details:
Checkered Joggers - Macy's (on sale!)
Pineapple Blouse - Target
Glasses - c/o Firmoo
Shoes - thrifted

Here's an outfit I wore last week.  I love wearing these jogger style pants lately because they're easily dressed up or down and they are so comfy.  If you're interested in trying a pair, I got these on sale from Macy's and they have a pretty cute selection of prints right now!

I am sad the beautiful weekend is gone.  I met up with some of my best guy friends from high school in Denver Friday night and then had a relaxing rest of the weekend, and the weather was unbeatable. Hope you guys are having a great start to your week!

B&W and New Specs

Hi guys!  It's been awhile, but with good reason.  Last week we went on a little trip to Charleston, SC, which was beautiful and I will share some photo soon.  When we arrived home, a pipe in our bathroom had burst so we walked into water that had been GUSHING into the inside of our house for a few days.  It sounded like a waterfall when we opened the door.  Not fun.  So now we are in the middle of a construction zone with ripped up wood floors, walls, and industrial fans buzzing 24/7.  At least it convinced us to leave our house a lot this weekend!  So yeah, blogging has taken a bit of a back seat to all of those things.

Outfit Details:

Glasses - c/o Firmoo
Pants - h&m
Blouse - Marshalls
Scarf - Italy
Boots - old

   I am excited to show you guys my brand new glasses from Firmoo, even if the outfit itself is nothing to write home about.  When the glasses arrived in the mail last week, I didn't want to take them off.  I usually only wear glasses for driving, but since I actually really like the look and fit of this pair, it made me want to wear them more often.  I like that they are slightly oversized in shape, but not too much as to be cartoonish.  If you are interested in this exact pair, you can find it here, and I can honestly say they come highly recommended from me!  I just filled out my prescription information online, and had my glasses within about two weeks of placing the order.  If you have never ordered from Firmoo before, they are also giving new customers 50% off their first pair here!  Did you guys have a good weekend?  I will hopefully be back to more normal posting now!

Hey Four Eyes

Hi guys!

Happy Wednesday, we're halfway there!  It is cold and snowy here in Colorado, but as long as I have to be inside at work anyway, I don't mind much. As I said in my previous post, I have had to get more creative in my layering, so here I am wearing a pair of lacy black tights over another yellow pair! I got the idea from the lovely Leah of We Live Upstairs- thanks girl!  The quickly dropping temperatures do make throwing off your jacket for a quick round of outfit photos quite chilly though.  If you guys really want to know what I will look like on a daily basis here, just picture a red nose poking out of a hat and scarf under a long down puff jacket!  One thing that has been cheering me up on these cold winter days is my new glasses that I received from a pretty awesome online retailer called Firmoo.com!  

 Outfit Details:

Glasses: c/o Firmoo.com

Dress: Vintage - for sale in shop here!

Necklace: Gift

Tights: Target

Shoes: Seychelles/ thrifted

    I chose this yellow pair because I already have normal black and brown pairs and wanted to have a little bit more fun.  Not only do I need to wear glasses while I am driving at night, but I honestly just like them as an accessory as well.  Its also nice to be able to be able to see the small details I could miss without glasses on, like the details of leaves on the trees, or you know, small children in the middle of the road. It took me a bit to get used to how bold these were, but after a few days they became my glasses of choice over my other pairs.  Honestly what do you guys think? Cute or crazy? I think a bit of both!

     It took me about a week to pick out a pair because I am indecisive and over think everything.  The Firmoo site is really comprehensive though and easy to navigate.  The best part for me was that you can upload your own picture to see how the frames will look on you! That honestly made it even easier than trying on a million pairs in a store with a salesperson awkwardly hovering over your shoulder.  Now I want this same pair in red as well, but made into sunglasses with my prescription... its kind of addicting!

     By far the coolest part of Firmoo is that anyone can get their first pair of glasses free from them!  The ones I got are usually $39, but you can choose these or any (non-designer) glasses from their site for free if its your first time shopping there.  You can get more information here!

    Anyway, they tell you to be honest in your reviews, and I can honestly say I love these glasses.  I know the color may be a little out there for most people, but they've got some really pretty tortoise shell and black frames if that is more you're style.  And hey, its free so really what is there to lose?  If you are thinking about getting a pair or have any more questions about my experience buying glasses online, please leave me a comment below! Hope you guys are having a great day!
