Essie - The Seventh Sphinx

I like a geometric print now and then. This jumbo polka dot maxi skirt caught my eye recently and I’m enjoying the boldness of the print.

Paired it with a simple white blouse and stacks of bracelets. A print like this is fun to pair with another print as well… a look I appreciate more than I feel compelled to wear myself. Loving the green mirrored Ray-Ban Clubmasters with these Pearls of Joy 12mm Tahitian Studs.

This is the Jeffree Star liquid lipstick in Anna Nicole I mentioned a while ago. A stunning summer orange with just the right level of red in it.

Nails are Essie Cute as a Button with the excellent Dazzle Dry basecoat and topcoat. Highly recommend Dazzle Dry, which was recommended to me by Wet Paint Nail Spa here in Cambridge.

Stay cool.

Several months ago now I went to help my sister pick out eyeglasses.

Ostensibly.

#1. Hmmm. Not bad. Proportional. All about proportions, and I have kind of a big head, kind of a big face.

#2. No. Somehow neither short enough nor wide enough. Too close to being square.

#3. Wow. No.

#4. Eeeegh. Not loving the round shape. Not at all.

#5. Oh, wait. Not bad, surprisingly. Not quite what I would want but a decent fit. Balanced clearance around the eyes, correct spacing.

#6. Haha. No, nothing doing.

#7. Yuck. These vintage frames do not work well on me. Such a shame, I do like them on others now and then.

#8. Eh. Blah.

#9. What’s with these little promontories? Those I do not like at all. But the overall shape…potential there, sitting too low. Oh, on the nails: Essie Ruffles & Feathers, on the lips: Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet in La Favorite.

#10. AAAAHHH! Nooooooo.

#11. I want to like a cat eye but it’s not quite…sitting right. Not bad, though. I don’t want to give up on the concept yet. And tortoiseshell I routinely like.

#12. Ooooh. These I like. These are the Glossier x Warby Parker Aviators. I’m predictable when it comes to aviators.

Not that I need glasses.
