The Banded2Gether Hat: Black & White

TGIF, hard-working friends and souls! We are at on our second to last Friday of the year and it is many of your last days of work! This time of year I love to wear thick, cozy sweaters, but I still like feeling put-together. Also, you guys know I am all about any neutral outfit. I would probably feel today’s look is not enough with just a sweater and the leggings. However, throw on this perfect Banded2Gether Panama hat and you have any easy, affordable, chic outfit appropriate for any day or evening look! Banded2Gether hats, headbands, and bandana scarves are my latest, favorite accessory. The brand is both beautifully curated and passionately created. Banded2gether brings meaning and sustainability to fashion and accessories. Read along to see how Banded2Gether mixes the two, how I styled my favorite new accessory combo, AND a coupon code to get 10% OFF your purchase!

Banded2Gether

First, let me fill you in on this incredible brand. Banded2Gether started as a no-slip headband company. Today, they provide accessories including hats, bracelets, scarves, headbands, and more. They also have an adorable “Mommy + Baby” collection you can check out HERE. Not only are the styles extremely affordable (this hat is literally $20), but each item purchased provides THREE meals to children in need! The newer brand has already contributed over 10.4 million meals thus far throughout South America, the Caribbean, and partnering organizations.

Accessories that Pull a Look ToGether

These beautiful accessories that will give you that “put-together” look. This Panama hat has solid structure, a felt-fabric texture, and is one-size-fits-all. The hat includes a drawstring liner that can be cinched to better hold to your head.

I want every single one of the bandana accessories they offer. The bandana design wrapped around the pictured fedora, named “The Poet” is classic and versatile. The long, diamond shape is perfect to expand your outfit options. They can be tied around a purse strap to match your outfit, worn on the wrist as a bracelet, & are perfect and non-bulky as a neck-scarf. Check out THIS and THIS post to see other ways I have styled scarves! There are numerous options to fit your style. I have my eye on the “Santa Fe” and “Cote d’Azure” prints.

Outfit Details

This outfit could not be more chic, yet comfortable. I felt like I was wearing pajamas! I follow the rule of thumb that a top should at minimum cover your bum if you are wearing leggings.

The leggings are Spanx and they are ultra-compressive and shaping. They have a shiny, dressier finish. These are my favorite black legging as they are thick, seamed, and more formal than a cotton pair. I am wearing a size SMALL, for reference, and I am a size 2-4 or 26 in jeans.


The Shoes

Finally, these Sam Edelman kitten heel slip-ons are the final touch to this look. The neutral beige blends in with your skin to elongate your leg. They have a high-designer look as they are fashioned after the famous Chanel cap-toes. However, these are much more wallet-friendly and comfortable! The kitten-height block heel provides a boost of confidence and femininity. Simultaneously, I could walk miles in these. They match everything and level up any outfit. I especially love the contrast between the ultra-feminine heels and edgy Panama hat. The off-whites in this entire look match to a tee. This exact sweater by Free People is no longer available, but Free People’s 2018 variation, in the same color, is linked below.

Banded2Gether provides meaning and conscientiousness to consumerism. Any of their products would make excellent friend and family gifts. I already have my mind on Valentine’s Day as I love to gift friends little, thoughtful items then.

Be on the look out for Banded2Gether products in future posts! The headband in THIS post is Banded2Gether. Finally, be sure to use my coupon code, “AUDREYREEL10” for 10% OFF your purchase. Check back here for a new post tomorrow on Christmas movies to watch over the weekend. I hope you have the BEST last day or week of work of 2018!

With Joy,

Audrey
