Specky Four-Eyes

Now. Don't get me wrong, I love glasses. I wear them often and want to buy lots of different kinds for various outfits and occasions. But the other night, we had a girly sort of soiree at a club I rarely visit (and when I do, it is mostly for the purpose of irony) and I felt so incredibly unattractive because of my glasses.

I don't often wear them on nights out but contact lenses were dry blah blah etcetc so I popped them on and didn't think anything of it. It was only when I got onto the dance floor and started to look around and see that not one girl had glasses on that I became very aware of my own. It is with regret that I admit all of this, because if I'd heard one person say such nonsense I would have told them to "stop being stupid". Looking back at the photos (see above) I don't think I look half bad and honestly can't think what all the fuss was about. But at the time I felt truly ugly and as my house mate suggested, hidden away behind them.

I doubt that people would describe me as shy and retiring so I really shocked myself with this sudden complex about wearing my glasses out and unfortunately probably won't be doing it again, which is ridiculous. 

Perhaps it was the location of our night out and the typical clientele that made me feel so uncomfortable? I really couldn't say. If I do wear spectacles again, I'd like them to be one of these from Gok Wan's range at Specsavers.

Any thoughts?

I WISH: SPARKLY SHIMMERY SHINY SEQUINS

Hurrah! Christmas is upon us (nearly) and I want sequins and I want metallic leather and I want glitter shoes and I want want want. It’s unlikely I will be able to afford any but I want to share my favourite party goods with you…

 

                       Â

River Island

    

Topshop

And who, but M&S have cottoned on to Prada’s giant sequin gem of an idea (see below)?!

                             Â

        OH MIU MIU!!!!!

This French Connection dress is ICONIC now. Grab it in gold too.

Wear this River Island gold leather skirt with basic jersey pieces and knitwear to keep the focus all on the glitz. Plus it’s a different take on the usual party glam wear. I love this. 

If you’re strapped for cash as I am (as you know) then look in Vintage shops, charity shops and eBay for sequinned and beaded tunic dress not unlike this one that is currently on ebay - ooh correction-sold on eBay for £20. Seems alot but these dresses are usually a great fit on all body shapes. Even me with my big boobs…unless you read my earlier post about quite literally bursting out of one of these dresses…!

        

Get sparkly and get creative with how to you style your sequins. Think knitwear, opaques, black leather and grey and white jersey basics. And heels. You can sit down after you’ve made your grand entrance. Honest.
