I'm Back!

Sorry for the hiatus folks, I got hit with a nasty cold/sinus infection.  I'm still recovering, but I finally felt a lot better today.  I was bed ridden for 3 days, feeling like there were knives in my facial sinus cavities, all over my head, with the occasional migraine.  Not to mention everything tastes the same and I can't hear from my ear (still). Fun!

Well, the good news is that I got my Warby Parker's.  The one's that I have my heart set on are not the right color that I want, but it's the shape I was/am most excited about.

These were the "Colton," and the ones I knew I wanted best (but in a darker color).

These were the "dorky" type that you find in the stores, that I love! I'd love to have a real pair, but truth is, they won't be as practical for me.  I wouldn't get as good of a use out of them, and I don't want to make that mistake twice ( ahem, escada glasses from cosco)

Lastly, these were a great pair too.  Excuse the different color, my camera batteries went out, so this was taken with the iphone.  I love the color and shape, but I'll see what my insurance will take care of, and if there is a good free - cheap pair similar, I would rather get them that way and get the Coltons.  This style frame isn't that hard to find, but I do love the color (which will be).

Oh, and I was very happy with the service.  I ordered 3, asked for them to add one more, and they chose to pick on on their own they thought I'd like.  And, they got to me in 4-5 business days from when I ordered. Very happy so far!

Warby Parker, baby.

So, last time I posted about glasses, I had just gotten my cosco glasses, one escada and the other (that I actually end up wearing all the time) sadly enough.....are apple bottoms! HA!  But hey, they were cheap and looked great, I always get a lot of compliments.  Anyway, my eyesight has gotten worse, and the apple bottoms are a little broken.  It's time for new glasses.  Thankfully, I have discovered Warby Parker.

Check out the sight, but basically, every pair of glasses are only $95, including the prescription lenses. And that's not even the best part, every pair bought is a free pair to someone in need!  Another cool thing, you can order the glasses to try on at home with free shipping, you send them back for free shipping, and if/when you decide to order them for yourself, it's free shipping then too!  All the styles are unique, but they have glasses for everyone, so go check them out!  I've been so excited to share the information with you!  I just ordered my picks to try on at home, so I will keep you posted!

Mix'n Match'n

So here it is guys! My first inspiration outfit post, amongst many more to come! I am hoping to a) give inspiration to others, b) encourage myself to work with more of what I have in my closet, and better be able to come up with outfits (without buying pieces as often), and c) get famous asap (jk!!) to show you guys how much money I don't spend on clothes, but show that I can still manage to look nice. I have put the captions underneath with brand/where I got it, and approximate price.

{rings: vintage band (my great grandmas, from 1926), vintage maracsite: Etsy ($18)}

I wore this dress out and about yesterday.  I later decided to take the earrings off, I thought they were a bit much with all the other mix match plus glasses.  Had I found my aviators for the picture, then maybe I would have kept them on.  I mixed this dress with this red and white striped button up.  I got it from Forever 21 to wear over simple tees, but this worked out well too. 

Look forward to an awesome guest post coming soon, and my Fall Into Style Part 2!
