Baranda Is Granda!!! By Sparkle333 on Jul 23, 2009 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

Recently I had a chance to attend a LeAnn Rimes concert, and I wanted a new outfit for the occasion. (I shouldn't have bothered, as she came out dressed in shorts and a sleeveless T-shirt.) But at any rate, I enjoyed my new jacket and pants set. It's by Baranda, and the pieces were sold separately.

The material is 95% Polyester and 5% Spandex, so it is very easy to care for. I prefer to hand wash in cold water, and hang to dry. The pants are slim legs with a very slight flare, and the jacket is adorable. It has two longer pieces in the front which can be tied, or allowed to hang loosely. I wore it untied and it was very cute and dressy looking. I paired the jacket and pants with a black turtleneck with a Sorrelli necklace and bracelet, and it was striking. The pants are very slimming, and since I've been losing some weight, this thrilled me.

Baranda is made in Canada, and I bought it in the U.S. at Bealls Outlet. I liked the brand so much that I went and bought an additional pair of pants, which can be paired with numerous other tops. With the pants retailing at $48.00 and the jacket retailing for $52.00, the price was exceptionally great as well. I love Baranda--I think it's granda!!!
