A picture of me wearing the Karen Walker sunglasses from my earlier post. I love them so much. Please excuse my messy hair and complete lack of makeup!

Super duper strength

I had my eye on these kind of ridiculous Karen Walker sunglasses since I saw them on eyeheartglasses in October of last year, and I finally sucked it up and bourght them for myself as a Christmas present just before I went away.

I loved them in the blue frame with pink lenses as featured in the "Master of Disguise" ad campaign

 

But in the end I got them in black, as the pink lenses didn't really do much in terms of blocking glare.

 

I was a bit unsure of them at first but I really grown to love them. I've been wearing a slightly ill-fitting pair of vintage tortoiseshell wayfarers from the 80s (courtesy of my mum) for the last year or so and it is kind of nice to be wearing something different to everyone else now. They are pretty huge on my face and I get some strange looks but i'm really happy with my choice. Everyone at the moment in Wellington seems to either be wearing wayfarers or oversized squared off frames, so the roundness of these is pleasingly unusual.

I love Karen Walker sunglasses (and the ad campaigns that go with them) and luckily there are plenty of places that sell them online if you don't happen to be in New Zealand.

Fug

So i've been reading gofugyourself on and off for years now. I've realised recently that apart from the really obviously ugly and unflattering stuff, I often disagree with them fug girls. I saw this post of Jessica Alba today and realised that I would totally wear her outfit:

Is it wrong that I now want high waisted purple pants? I have a pair of brown wool Karen Walker pants with a very similar waist that I love. Wearing them (and all of my boots and scarves) again is one of the few things I am looking forward to about winter.
