Adding Specks :: glasses style with Firmoo

Monday, January 12, 2015

One small addition in the accessory department can make a world of difference when it comes to fashion. I don't wear my glasses often, but when I do, I make sure they highlight the quirky side of my style. Wear your accessories so that they become the icing on the cake to your personal taste and overall look. 
I paired black shorts with black tights and boots for a unique cold-weather alternative to skinny jeans or leggings. I like the contrast between the light chambray blouse up top and all-black on the bottom. 
When it comes to glasses, Firmoo is my favorite place to shop. I have two pairs from Firmoo and their selection of modern, stylish frames never disappoints. They recently sent me this pair in the mail and although I was tentative at first about circular frames, I truly love how they flatter my small face. I also love the silver detailing on the sides - I got compliments at work the first day I wore them! 
Layered silver chains bring character to a classic chambray blouse. Two simple necklaces is always better than one! 
 Firmoo.com is the world's most popular online eyeglasses store. Years of expertise in the optics industry has enabled Firmoo.com to offer high quality varieties of prescription eyewear to the public at extremely affordable prices. My pair came in this funky little globe case accompanied with a lime green cleaning cloth.

[chambray blouse: Madewell, shorts: Gap, tights: Express, booties: Nordstrom, glasses: Firmoo, initial necklace: Tiffany & Co., long necklace: fine jewelry, watch: Marc Jacobs, earrings: Betsey Johnson, leather bracelet: Michael Dawkins] 

Tights and shorts can be an intimidating look to pull off, but if you keep the rest of your outfit simple and streamlined, it's an easy and fun way to mix up your wardrobe and try something new. I added glasses, a red lip, and a top knot to push my style envelope a bit further and truly embrace this quirky and unique look. 

Hope everyone is staying warm. Looks like this polar vortex is almost over!

    You look so adorable in glasses and these ones are so perfect for you! They add just the right amount of chicness to the look! Not many people can pull off the tights and shorts combo but you do it so perfectly and with so much attitude! I love it! I think the red lips are really awesome and such a great statement! :)

    I definitely see why you love the contrast between the shirt and the shorts- I think it looks amazing too! :D
    I am not really a glasses person, because I think I instantly look like a secretary or a teacher with them :D, but I really like the fact that these glasses are circular, I think that that makes them a bit more edgy and interesting!
    Another great look Kat, it is always a pleasure to read your blog! :)
