Fashionable Fridays - January 2020

Latest thrift finds for myself top photo (T1S4) I think I might have found a good thrift store finally! Or maybe I should always remember to go in January ðŸ˜ƒ

But my main focus at the thrift store was helping my T3 friend get new clothes. (Bottom Photo)
She figured out her energy type, and we figured out some style words. I created a Pinterest board of inspiration and shopping we went. She hates shopping normally, but she just followed me around while I put everything that fit her style words in a cart, and then we sorted through those and held things up and got more items than she thought she would get. She went home and tried everything more and loved everything (though the floral dress was out of her comfort zone). Her husband was glad to see no black (we think he's T1) and loved everything as well. Best shopping trip she's ever had!

Dressing your Truth for the Win!

It was a lot of fun for me shopping for someone else! 




Top photo of me is what I wore out shopping: Lularoe striped shirt, Old Navy mask, and DYT store plaid top and star necklace with Zenni eyeglasses. I need to get more contacts. 

Since we went to a thrift store, they didn't allow any trying on of clothes. We did the best we could with some items, but at least you can exchange them if needed. I quickly tried them all on at home and loved them! I'm figuring out my style better and better and I love sweaters for winter. I want to have a vest in every color! Now I have white, navy, red, green, and purple! 



The orange top I didn't take a picture since it was see through and I actually got stuck in it trying to get it off. The armpit area is pretty tight. =D

Which sweater do you love the most?

140th Fashionable Fridays

Fall Colors - I've  been loving fall! I'm grateful to live in a place again with lots of trees to enjoy those beautiful colors. I'm scared it's going away soon though. We had a few snowflakes falling yesterday, but they didn't stick.

New Glasses: Firmoo Online Optical Store
Really affordable glasses. I love that you can upload your photo to try their glasses on. I couldn't believe they could do my high prescription for free. Next time though I will pay the extra for some things like thinner lenses and the anti-glare so I don't have to worry about pictures.

Top: thrifted or clothing swap
Tank: DownEast Basics
Pants: can't remember; they're at least 10 years old smile emoticon
Bracelet: BPriceless
Necklace: Dressing Your Truth store
Earrings: can't remember they're at least 5 years old

138th Fashionable Fridays - Firmoo Glasses

 A while ago I was contacted by Firmoo to try out their glasses, but I was going to be gone out of town a lot and wouldn't have a chance to get my prescription so I asked my friend who was looking to try out some glasses (though she doesn't need a prescription) to give them a try. Her is her review.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A little while ago I saw a picture of myself with glasses on, and I thought "hey, maybe that's what I'm missing! Those look pretty good!" I mentioned it to a group of friends one day and one of them said she had an opportunity for me. It was to try out the Firmoo glasses for her blog! When I checked out the pictures of their product, I was sold.
I don't have a prescription for glasses, and I was glad they had an option for prescription free lenses. I was excited to try these out and see what my peers and family thought of them.
Once the order was placed, it was a very good turn around time to receive them, even though they came all the way from China! I was very impressed that it was just around one week.

Their product is very stylish, and very good quality. The frames are a very solid build. They were a perfect fit for my face, which is very hard to do without trying on 20 pairs first! One shot and they got it right. They are comfortable to wear; the nose pieces are just formed into the design instead of being extra pieces and the arms (?) didn't hurt or irritate my ears with all day use.
I was instantly impressed by the clarity of the lenses. Even with a little dust and a tiny smudge on them they were almost more clear than I could see without them at all. I felt like everything was more crisp and a little more bright in color.
The package came with a hard case and a soft bag, a cleaning cloth and a screwdriver keychain for repairs. I'm pretty excited about the screwdriver. None of my sunglasses ever came with such a thing.



They arrived in the mail one day before I was going hiking with a group from church. I wore them from the first moment I got in the car until I got home later that evening. Not one person mentioned the glasses. I figured that could mean two things: they looked really natural so nobody noticed there was something different, or they looked terrible and nobody wanted to mention it. I decided to wear them again and to work this time - and one use isn't enough to get a good review, right?
The glasses were very comfortable on the hike and I not once considered taking them off. They didn't make my face too sweaty, didn't obstruct my line of vision, nor did they feel like they were a burden in my recreational activities.

It was a few hours at work before anyone noticed the glasses. First it was my boss, then my maintenance guy, and they both approved. I only saw them once through the whole shift, but the next day (yeah, I wore them again) both of them mentioned again how much they liked them on me. My boss pointed it out to others saying "don't those just look great on her?" and "I don't want to sound creepy, and I'm sure you've heard me say this a few times, but they really look good!"  

Verdict, they look good and natural. I was right. That is exactly what I was missing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She look fabulous in them! I can't wait to get my prescription again to try myself a pair. I know looking at the website, I loved that you can upload your picture to see what glasses work on you. I've always wanted colorful glasses myself, but they never had many colors to actually try on at my doctor's office so I was excited to see they had that photo upload option.
They ask a lot of specific questions to get the right size for your glasses which can be confusing at first, but they have a lot of descriptions and photos to get the right measurements if you don't have prescription measurements.

My friend received these lovely glasses here.

Get your first pair free.

Love Old Navy for my husband because it has the Tall, Skinny Sizes =) My husband is 6'4 and about 165 lbs. At least it's in the normal range for weight now.
