You Big Nerd.

Wednesday, October 20, 2010

Ever since my little sister picked up a pair of "nerd" glasses this Summer, I have been mildly obsessed with this trendy look. Okay, I've actually been majorly obsessed, and last week I used my remaining flex points to pick up a pair of geeky glasses for myself. I wore them around town with pride yesterday, although I was feeling pretty unsure if I was ready for such a statement look, and when my husband came home and referred to me as "waldo" I began to question whether or not I have the confidence to pull off such a style. My sister says it is a look you just have to own, and after seeing these über fashionable women (and one man/boy,) I decided that this is one trend that I am definitely not going to give up on.

For me it is all about the chic, with a little of the geek.

No way. Parashoot pants used to be a trend but that doesn't mean they made any one look good. You most often look like you stepped out of a Jcrew catalog so if any can pull it off it's you. But why?!

I have to say, I agree with Jodi. I think some things are better left behind. But go on show us a pic, I bet you can do it anyway.

I too looove your style, Mummy, but I just don't know about this trend. It's almost toooo trendy, and maybe best for teenagers? Looking at the pictures, the only one that looks good to me is the girl with the pencil, but mostly because it's part of an entire look and obviously for a staged shoot. At the same time, I also think you should wear whatever the hell you want :).

I have been OBSESSED with those glasses as well and have been thinking of getting a pair for months!! Where did you get yours? I might bite the bullet soon too.
