the black maxi

July 25, 2012 By mary 8 Comments

(maxi: Kohls, scarf: TJ Maxx, belt: Kohls, sandals: Old Navy, bangles: various, sunglasses: c/o Firmoo)
Yesterday I shared how this black maxi has been in my closet for a while and I just never took the tags off.  I don’t know why I do that, but I do.  I’ll buy something and think I’ll wear it for a specific event or day and then forget about it.  But then it’s like Christmas when I find it and finally take the tags off.  Weird, I know.
So when this little guy finally made it out of my closet, I made up for lack of use all in one day.
Maxi with touches of neon for church.  It turned into a bathing suit cover up after church when we went swimming at some friends’ house.  Then that evening after the girls were in bed, I was heading out for drinks with a friend and the maxi morphed back into a dress with a red belt, scarf, and brown sandals.
I had no idea this dress’ potential and feel bad for neglecting it.
But now I know.  And I will never forget.  (A little dramatic for a dress, huh?)
And while I can’t give you my dress, I can give you the hookup for some free glasses. 
Aren’t those sunglasses I’m wearing awesome?  They came from Firmoo.  . 
I love these sunglasses.  I have a hard time finding glasses that don’t pinch my head (fat head maybe?) but these were perfect.  I also have a weird nose for glasses since breaking it pretty badly playing basketball when I was younger.  So I have a lot of specific requirements for glasses and these fit them all.  If I could order them again, the only thing I would change is I would get completely black, not the transitional fade (I’m not sure if that’s a real thing or I just made it up).  Sometimes while outside I feel like I’m wearing bifocals because of the fade.  And I’m seriously not ready for bifocals yet.
And now the great news: Firmoo is giving away pairs of glasses (prescription or sunglasses) through their new buyer program  All you have to do is go here and sign up.  No really, that’s all–just pick out your favorite pair and they’re yours.  Firmoo is the world’s most popular online eyeglass store.  Vision and Fashion the Frugal Way is the ultimate goal of Firmoo, so it has always committed itself to providing customers with high-quality and fashionable eyewear at the most affordable prices.  Firmoo recently launched a program offering free eyewear to first-time buyers.  Free glasses and fast shipping–it’s a pretty sweet deal.
My glasses arrived the day we were heading out to the lake so I got to spend the week breaking them in.  They haven’t left my face since.  I don’t wear prescription glasses, but I kind of wish I did with all the frames they have available.  We’ll definitely order Chris’ next pair of glasses from Firmoo.  
Want to get your free pair?  Head over there now!

    Great outfit!! I love it, too, with the scarf and the belt. I can see how it would have been very versatile.
