Casual Transition

August 31, 2015August 29, 2015by Glasses Girl2 Comments

Is it true? Is fall really around the corner? Am I the only one looking forward to rich hues and cozy wraps? I certainly hope not. While I wish it was actually a cool enough evening to need this wrap it so wasn’t. I still have a hard time posting “normal” casual outfits. Real people wear tanks and jeans though so why not? My latest saga? Fibromyalgia. I’m in pain and there’s no way I can even think about a heel or a wedge or anything of the sort right now. If you have to wear flats they may as well be Gucci right? The drivers are so comfortable and soft. Highly recommend!

Happy Spring… Not!

March 23, 2015March 22, 2015by Glasses Girl2 Comments

So for this first day of spring we had a snow storm. Go figure. I wouldn’t have minded if I hadn’t had to go into New York for the day. What a mess! Oh well — the positive — I can still wear my favourite winter clothes. Oh how I’ll miss them.

I know people have a thing against Abercrombie & Fitch but they have some really nice pieces and the prices are so reasonable. I paired a soft classic white shirt with high waisted, faux leather leggings, booties and an oversized wrap. So simple, but so chic. I’ve always wanted to try the exposed black bra under a white shirt but never felt it appropriate. I finally decided that I didn’t care. Since my reconstruction post breast cancer I don’t actually need a bra for functional purposes so I’m obsessed with these little Calvin Klein bralettes. They look like a tank and they’re seamless and wireless so they don’t hurt.

Oh… one last thing. Can we talk about these Prada sunglasses? Fabulous doesn’t even begin to describe!

Blanket Statement

January 28, 2015January 27, 2015by Glasses Girl2 Comments

You’ve all seen the hype around wearing blanket wraps. The monogrammed Burberry one in particular was super popular this season. On a less expensive note, however, there are so many options available that still look super cool and keep you nice and toasty. I found this one at the Zara sale. It’s so soft. I’ve thrown it over everything from jeans to a skirt and top. It’s also an amazing option when you want to be warm, but don’t want to lug a coat around.

Necklace – A gift from a friend

It’s A Wrap

December 5, 2014by Glasses Girl2 Comments

Literally! Anything scarf, scarf related, wrap, etc. just screams chic in my book. You can take an ordinary outfit and completely change the vibe with one simple accessory. While there is a huge price range when in comes to scarves you really don’t need to spend a fortune to achieve the goal. This baby is from Forever 21 and cost a whopping $8.90. Hence, I bought 4 in different colours. Even my mum was taken by it. While there are a plethora of videos out there on how to tie or style a scarf sometimes the nonchalant approach says more. Just throw it over your shoulders. There’s something to be said for the “I didn’t try too hard” look. Give it a shot!
