Fashion Friday: Two pretty friendship bracelets

I was pretty obsessed with friendship bracelets when I was younger. You know, the kind made out of different colors of yarn all tied together. While I haven't worn one for awhile, I like the idea of sporting a more adult friendship bracelet -- one a little more sophisticated and mature. Here are my two favorites so far...
This beaded bracelet, for its perfect combination of simple, laid-back and whimsical.
This garnet wrap bracelet to remind me of love.

Did you wear friendship bracelets when you were young, friends? I bet you did if you were a '90s kid! xoxo

I wore a friendship bracelet for years during all of middle school and into high school. Unfortunately that friendship ended up sour. :( But yes, I was in deed a 90's kid.

This is a little off topic, but have you seen this website? It's all about how to plan a wedding ceremony for women and men wheelchair users. Since you are all about weddings and your own life with a disability I thought you might like this website. One day you and Mr. M. Blake might needs some ideas. Have a great day!

Oh, I loved them, and best friend necklaces as well. I remember I found one that split three ways (For 3 best friends) and LOVED it. I miss them.

Did you also have those "wish" bracelets that you wore until the beads fell off, and that meant your wish came true? Loved those too!

My girlfriends and I still wear friendship bracelets even though we are in college! We made them together out of colorful string.

Omg yes! Wearing a friendship bracelet was a must for a 90's kid. I had a friend who sold them for 25cents a piece on the playground in 5th grade. My thing was lanyards, I loved making those!
