playtime: Warby Parker

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.

IMG_3882

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

IMG_3867

#3. Wow. No.

IMG_3861

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

IMG_3878

#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.

IMG_3873#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.

Bikini tops are so versatile. Am only just now reminded of this look, though the bandeau is completely different. Totally different.

It was about 95 degrees out, so one had to be creative. Still, sheathed from abdomen to knees, it doesn’t seem that revealing to me. Even though there’s obviously a good amount of skin showing, and a slinky jersey pencil skirt doesn’t obscure much. It always seems to be more a matter of what is showing, rather than how much. All perception.

The song playing in the background of this look, a rough harmonic translation, say, is the badass, incomprehensible ‘Push Push (Lady Lightning)’ by Bang Camaro. Fellow Guitar Hero players will know this one. Who is lady lightning? What is she pushing? Why aren’t there a couple more lyrics to give me a hint? I don’t care. I like it. [Reminds me, need to wear these earrings again soon.]
