Fair Isle

It’s been only chilly in the mornings here in San Diego, which means I have the chance to layer, even if it’s just a for part of the day.  Then I find that I need to peel layers off as the day gets later because the typical California weather returns.  I took my mom to a doctor’s appointment in the morning when I wore this outfit.  In addition to the sweater, I bundled up with a lovely wrap scarf.  Once we left the hospital and made it back to the car, I had to shed the sweater and wrap (I have a tank underneath).  I’ll have to say that this is one of my favorite sweaters.  I love the Fair Isle knit and slightly oversized fit.  And yes, those are leg warmers with my wedge boots!

Outfit – Vintage sweater from Jet Rag in LA (for $1!); American Rag denim leggings; Old Navy tank; Type Z wedge boots; Forever 21 leg warmers; Rebecca Minkoff purse; iSee glasses ℅ GlassesUSA; Wendy Brandes ring

Stylish & Sensible: GlassesUSA

As you can tell by most of my pictures on this blog, I wear glasses.  I had mixed feelings about wearing glasses when I was younger because I was partly excited to be able to see clearly, but not so excited to actually wear the glasses themselves.  What I discovered after my first horribly lackluster pair is that I should start to think of them as an accessory.  I upgraded my glasses to a pair of very cool burgundy frames and have been choosing prescription glasses over contacts ever since.

In my quest to find fashionable frames, I realized that many of the styles I was looking at cost the same as a high-end purse or pair of shoes.  If I decided to buy glasses at a more affordable price, then I sacrifice the style that I want.  Glasses seemed like more function than form, so I ditched the possibility of getting more than one pair and would just be resigned to the fact that I could only really update the style of my glasses after my regular check ups.

This all changed after I was recently introduced to GlassesUSA.com.   I love the newest pair I have by Lucky Brand that I bought at Costco a few months ago.  But as a fashion/lifestyle blogger, seeing so many fantastic frame styles on other bloggers made me want to coordinate new pairs with different outfits.  GlassesUSA.com has a great selection at incredibly reasonable prices (110% lowest price guarantee), which could definitely make those accessory dreams come true!

Other than checking out all of the great styles, my absolute favorite part of the whole site was the virtual mirror.  I spent literally two nights playing with this great feature.  Rather than upload a picture, I chose to use my web-cam to take a current picture of myself.  I then “tried on” practically every pair they had.  Out of all of the choices, I settled on a great pair by iSee because of it’s retro style.  The order was processed immediately after they received my prescription (sent by email).  My glasses were delivered 5 days later in a handy, slim hard case with a lens cloth.
