I've decided to write about the silliest thing: my glasses. Thanks to Tumblr, Lookbook.nu and (admittedly) the Jonas Brothers, I've developed an obsession with hipster specs. For months I desperately searched for a pair. I stumbled upon what I thought to be perfect black-rimmed shades at Nordstrom, only to get laughed at by a friend when I tried them on. Needless to say, I made zero purchases that day. Since then, I've logged on to UO's website and ordered a suitable pair. And I eagerly waited for my 'readers' to arrive in the mail.
The glasses are larger than what I originally wanted. I have a small face, or so my mother tells me. But no matter. I absolutely love them, but no one else seems to approve. Father is continuously saying, "You're not going to wear those in the store are you?" Mother just laughs and shakes her head. Despite rolling eyes and laughter, I love 'em. And I've decided I'm going to wear what I want to wear, even if it means looking like a complete and utter dork. ★
Do you wear (or like) anything at the disapproval of your friends or family, readers?
I think you look good in those glasses. love them.
ReplyDeleteHaha yeah, my parents sometimes raise their eyebrows and give me that look that basically says, what the hell are you wearing. I sometimes listen to what my rentals say, but friends, i don't really give a shit. My friends never stop me from wearing what I want.
i have both fake and real readers (since i'm blind ;))... love them. they're so fun. :) i say good for you! wear what you want, who cares what others think! they look fantastic on you!
ReplyDeleteI think you look positively adorable in the glasses! I think you should wear them with pride!

ahahha :D i have one from a men's line of christian dior with my subscriptions in them. and i do wear them sometimes when i can't be bothered putting my contacts in.. i'm now searching for those classic ray bans one though. and yes, uo has pretty good options!!
ReplyDeleteI quite like them :) I agree, just wear what you want! Who cares what others think, hehe. I wear a bunch of weird hats all the time that my mom finds just embarrassing, but too bad haha.
ReplyDeleteI think they look adorable! That's happened to me in the past, and usually my confidence plummets after that so I never end up wearing the beloved item. I hate when people put down something you love!
ReplyDeleteI have always envied people who wear these glasses! I honestly think they look super creative, chic, and unique! I'm really bad about wearing things that my friends or others think are weird. Thankd for the lovely comment! I will be following your blog!
ReplyDeleteWell, i have the exact same "problem" you have. My glasses and my small face (or so my boyfriend says so) Well, i ofter have people commenting on the street about my glasses, very uncomfortable, but - who cares. My Boyfriend likes them and says they really reflect who i am and my taste, and my parents are used to it (my father uses glasses like mine!) so, If you fell perfect in them - and you do look adorable, use them and don't care about others :)
ReplyDeleteoh, and mine are vintage, that i saved from going to the trash tin :) at least yours are new!
ReplyDeleteowhh, thank you so much for your lovely comment. i've missed you too! though i've been following your blog faithfully still, and will continue to do so even if i'm no blogging myself :) i think the glasses look wonderful! & well done you for being brave enough to wear what you want, no matter what other people think. i wish i had the guts! :) x
ReplyDeleteAwww that's a really sweet photo! Really liking your blog by the way!! xxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteI love dorky glasses... it has character. I do wear things that some people disapprove of as long as the object makes me happy. xoxo
ReplyDeleteoh dearest, comments like yours inspire me! my blog is what it is because of my readers. and dove, it doesn't matter what others think, if you love them, we love them. you look utterly adorable Xxx
ReplyDeleteI, too, have a pair of glasses everyone makes fun of, but I wear them allll the time anyway. And hats, too. I love hats, but both my best friend & I guy I briefly dated laughed hysterically at a straw hat I wore out once. I'm a little scared to wear it now, but... come summer, I will!
ReplyDeleteAnd I like your glasses. :)
I love glasses and you look adorable :)
ReplyDeletefor what it's worth: I LOVE THEM on you!
ReplyDeleteYour glasses are very cute! I love seeing people wear them. I love geek chic style especially when you're an english or art history major. h he. It's a quirkiness to them that I really like about them! My friends love the Jonas Brothers. lol. :)
ReplyDeleteI love how you write.
ReplyDeleteHaha, that being said. I think it looks cute! If you love them, wear it. And don't let people tell you otherwise. :)
oh goodness i had the same obsession for those hipster glasses for the longest time! when i finally ordered a pair i just looked silly, so they're hidden somewhere in my room. :P
ReplyDeleteI always wear my really worn suede boots. It drives my mom crazy, haha. She keeps begging me to get rid of them but I just can't!
ReplyDeleteI personally think those glasses look adorable on you! xx
I just recently bought a pair of fake granny glasses, and still have yet to bring up the courage to wear them out. Although I did once!
ReplyDeleteI've never met anyone who lived the Jonas Brothers too!!!! :D
