3 day catch up and my new glasses
Playing a bit of catch up.
On Tuesday I had meetings all day long. I dressed for cold conference rooms.
I liked my bracelet combo a lot that day.
Wednesday I wore pants that look like crap in photos. So instead you get a swatch. I hope they don't look as bad in person as in the photos. Gingham doesn't like to be photographed at any sort of distance. Either way they went into the donate pile mentally.
Again meetings all day so I went with warmer layers.
I wore my favorite bracelets. I love this set so much.
And today.
I felt like some weird combo of what my warped mental image of a 1950's waitress/librarian/teenager would look like with the crochet necklace, vintage dress and glasses. More on the glasses below.

I wanted a eyewing to go with my new glasses, I did black and I hated how it looked so I washed it off and started over in dark plum and plum mascara and I liked the result. It appears black in photos but isn't so OMG TOO DARK for first thing in the morning.
I have been wanting a second pair of glasses as long as I have worn glasses. With only 4 months left in the year I have to spend down my medical account so I took the plunge. I wanted a "funky" pair but subtle funky because I am UBER self conscious one of my lenses magnifies one eye so I can't draw too much attention to it. (That is why I take pics at angles. You know my secret. Le Shock!)
I pinned this image of Grace Kelly because it was my ULTIMATE in looking good in glasses. I have absolutely no delusions that I will ever been like her in any way shape or form but STILL LOOK AT HER. So damn chic. Finding a pair I liked as much and fit my face was harder than you'd think. This is what I ended up with.
(if you think I look weird, Dave in particular, I flipped the photo to match the Grace one)
I complained to the glasses guy that glasses never sit on my face the way they do on others and I feel I push them up for photos and all day. He said that I have a "narrow bridge and unfortunately that is what is going to always happen to you with plastic glasses. Your bridge is too narrow for the width of nose pieces"
I frowned but said I was glad that SOMETHING on me was narrow. oy. (Keep in mind I pushed them up for the photos)
I got them at Lens Crafters and they have a 100% guarantee for 90 days so we shall see how I feel. I feel a bit too uberlibrariannerd and I am not sure I am totally ok with that yet.
and since people like kitten photos.
I got my new purse in the mail last night and she was all up in my piece the second it came in the door.
I laid the dust bag down for a minute to open the other box and she so her body is touching the INSIDE of the bag. Dust bags are meant to keep kitten hair OFF the purse, brat. She also was trying to take my skin care samples. My skin has been a total asshole lately since I changed up my meds. Just yesterday Dave suggested I try a "system" again then 24 hours later a package arrives I had totally forgot about from a skin care company for me to review. DUDE! I've had it less than 24 hours but I like it already. More later on it in detail, once I can fully test it all out.

1. I LOVE the bracelets from Day 1 and Day 2.
2. Your hair looks great in the Day 2 picture.
3. I have almost exactly the same glasses, love them on you (and on me, too). Multiple pairs of glasses RULE. Have you tried Zenni Optical?
I don't do those things for a few reasons. I have a fat head and need to try something on.
I have progressives and prisms that I have had so many people screw up. How do the online ones measure you in the glasses for the prisms. Know what I mean?
I also LOVE those glasses on you. You also just explained what must be my problem as well, the narrow bridge thing. I am forever pushing my glasses around. Luckily I don't have too crazy of a prescription, so I do just get my glasses on Zenni Optical. That way if I don't like them, they were pretty cheap (I got 2 pairs for $80 shipped not that long ago)
Patricia My glasses in the above photos is tiffanys. I will say they fit MUCH better. They have two way hinges the fixed hinge makes it hard to fit on the raybans I have been in the bathroom twice trying ot heat them up and loosen them.
And I for one LOVE the new glasses. But I should tell you that I'm on the hunt for black cat eyes that will fit my face, so I'm a bit biased :)
Now our cat truly are similar in term of behavior. If it's new, he'll lay on it right away. If it's clean, he'll lay on it even though the whole bed/couch is free of anything else. If it is dirty but belongs to me (versus my husband) he'll lay on it.
Yesterday I found half of him inside my purse because I carried a bag of organic cat nip (the fufu organic stand was the only one selling catnip at the market!). We like to call him douchey.
Love that vintage dress you wore today too. It's so pretty.
I don't know why cats have to be so damn ridiculous sometimes. lol Last night Coco was trying to fit herself into a box Shawn kept back for sending back something to Lomography and it's about 1/4 of her actual size, but since he put it up on a shelf to keep it away from kittens she batted it down and got in it like a brat.
Funny we use the same nickname for our cat!
Goodluck with Lenscrafters. We paid through the nose for my husband's glasses (and the lenses were 50% so we bought him the ~fancy ones~). They scratched up within a couple months, and they refused to make it right unless we paid the 50% price again. And two years after using them, they still send me snailmail letters saying "heeey you haven't bought anything from us, you should renew your prescription with us!"
I love all your bracelets!
Always buy the protection plan. They've replaced my broken or scratches stuff so many times no problem. Once I stepped on them and they didn't say a word. I've used different locations too. If it's within 90 days they let you exchange even broken or scratched without using the protection plan. (the stepped ones for example)
