PS) I’m really much more blind that I think I am – I really should be wearing my glasses ALL the time and as I’m sitting here typing they are tucked safely away in my bag and I’m staring at a lovely blur that I can kind of make out. I wear them all the time at home to read, sew, watch T.V, see movies etc and I must wear them when I drive (says so on my license - well from what I can see of it, tehee). However, as soon as I’m in public I have this really weird thing about wearing them, if I’m walking around with them on I feel strange, for absolutely no reason. Everything is so much brighter with them on and sometimes it’s almost too bright for my poor little eyes.
I do have contacts but they are a pain to get in, in the first place and then they make my eyes all dry and sore – I can’t have them in for too long or I get sleepy, and they are expensive!! I have to get special ones because my eyes are shaped weirdly.
PPS) I’m not sure if there will be a “Jen Writes a Bad Script" Part 2 or Part 3.
PPPS) I should totally quit my day job and write scripts – don’t you think?
PPPPS) You guys are far too lovely for words - you inspire me so much every day and make me feel all warm and happy when I read your comments :)
PPPPPS) Okay, that’s just me pushing it!! I’m going now.

Two things I wanted when I was a little girl: two wear glasses and have braces on my teeth.
I had a pair of aqua-colored, lense-less, 1960's cat-eye glasses with rhinestones in the corners that I would wear all the time. And then I would bend a paperclip out - one of those brightly colored plastic covered kind - and clip off the ends and fit them over my front teeth. I was so cool.
I've never had to wear glasses (I'm thankful now), but I did get braces and I loved them. I felt so hip and important. Am I weird for that?
Looking great dear, love the vest!!!
xoxo
I have a confession to make too:
I wear glasses! I've got only a few pictures online with me in them, but I tend to stick to contacts on a daily basis. ;) You look adorable wearing those--so chic!!! Love the rest of your outfit as well, especially the shoes. Cute!
I loved your little script. Very cute. I sometimes wish I wore glasses because they can be so stylish... But I can't imagine how I would handle that. I am always losing my sunglasses and finding them as I step on them.
I'm pretty chronic about wearing my glasses too, although I'm not as blind as you are :D I more wear them as an accessory - when I feel the urge to go all sexy librarian :D
ha! love this post. xo
Oh my goodness I love this post! You look SO GOOD in glasses (you look SO GOOD without them, too) - and those glasses are fantastic. But honestly, if you hadn't mentioned the glasses, I would have only noticed that awesome outfit - the blue shoes!! the vest!! the understated ruffles on your shirt!!
Again, I love this post.
I think you look fantastic in glasses!! Also, your outfit is phenomenal!!
I wear glasses too! I just almost never wear them when I take photos of myself. I've tried wearing contacts, but you're right, they're such a PAIN.
btw, love the blouse!
hello!
i love:
your shoes
your blouse
!!!
i always wanted to wear glasses. :)
I need glasses all the time too. But I don't wear them as much as I should! I love your shoes!
I really love Ur outfit. Perfect!
xoxo: Janet
I'm a glasses girl, too! I need them mostly for driving at night or seeing far away. I actually like mine. I use that same trick of converting them into a style accessory. :)
I think you look lovely in your glasses! You don't have anything to be ashamed of in any way!
I'm amazed to see you in pants. I love how you dressed up the jeans. The vest is perfect!
Well, I, for one, think you're lovely in those specs!
I wear glasses! Not that you can tell from my blog either as I don't think they have ever made an appearance. I will admit to wearing my contacts almost all the time.
I love this outfit on you. So different but so you! Cute Cute!
You look good with your glasses on, but I understand about feeling weird wearing them in public. I'm the same way with my glasses sometimes. Your little script is cute :)
Love the outfit too. Look at those little ruffles on the sleeves of your blouse!! :)
You are too adorable!
(I wear glasses too, not that anyone ever sees me in them!)
Wot wot for the glasses. I'm the opposite. I live in my contacts. But they are a pain sometimes and glasses are so comfortably.
Your glasses and slippers are adorable :)
I love all the PS's :) I wore contacts for years but just switched back to full time glasses recently. The clincher for me was getting prescription sunglasses. Now I love wearing glasses and probably wouldn't want to go back to contacts
Your frames are really cute--you should definitely wear them more often! I've had terrible vision since I was little and I finally got tired of my glasses, so now I'm totally used to my contacts. But now it seems like glasses are cool again...
Hi there-yay, welcome to the 'glasses club', LOL! I gave up my contacts years ago, they're just too fiddly! You look gorgeous anyway and love your casual chic outfit!
Great outfit! The glasses siut you very well!
Well, Paris is a must see for such a stylish chicky like yourself! I get back to NZ in the middle of April- I've had a blast, but for me it was mainly to re-connect with family and old friends and I'm ready to move on and do some travel elsewhere- am thinking Asia for the next adventure! I will be home for a bit- am considering a post grad dip in Journalism- I see you are in PR- I loved your post on the beach wedding and all the hiccups! I can just imagine! ANy advice on the journo courses in NZ? Where did you study?
My advice is to try and line some work up before you go- or at least do a lot of groundwork. It is a tough time to get work over here, and my partner really struggled- even to get crappy part time stuff!! I was nannying, so it was a bit easier, but still lots of competition.... Let me know if you want any further advice :)
you look great.
I love the shoes! I'm searching for some spring shoes in that color, but I wasn't very lucky.I'll keep searching. They give so much color to the entire outfit! PS: I added you to my blog roll...I hope you don't mind.
You are pretty with glasses!!
B*
You could always go tinted to help with the birghtness - I'm thinking the semi-darkness of this souped/pimped out boy racer cars?
love this and I want our hair too it's so pretty!
You look adorable in your glasses.
wow i think this is the most casual i've seen you! still very chic and professional, though. i love your glasses too! on some people, glasses look weird, but they don't at all on your. the vest, the blouse, the shoes, the jeans, well...just to make it shorter your whole outfit is lovely.

Micaela
Don't worry, I have glasses, too! Maybe I should show them in a post...
lol i got such a shock reading this because your ending sentences were just like mine! :O Slightly embarassing huh? :( haha.
Tats a really cute script actually but just to let you knwo yu may have to take a couple more writing courses before you begin this new venture haha. Hope you're not too disapointed? ;)
Cute outfit too. You're one of those rare breeds that look good in glasses lol.
Heres to a sunny mon!
glasses should be obvious. they should be ostentatious. they should not be subtle.
love your pair on you!
you look great with glasses! :) the vest is killer.
Aw, you look cute in them. I hardly ever wear my glasses in public but I also don't have any problems wearing contacts. I love your little blue flats!
:-D the script's great! your outfit is also ubercute, and i know what you mean about not wearing glasses when you should ;-D i always forget mine...
Xxxc
love your vest and the glasses look adorable on you!
yup, i wear glasses too! :)
mostly i wear my contacts but im sure there will be posts of me in my glasses as well so there
and i too think you look quite adorable in your specs! :)
have a wonderful day
Ummmmm, I don't wear glasses. But I really do need to... I just can't afford them right now!
I think yours look fab!
Maybe the script isn't your favorite, but the outfit is definitely mine!! I don't think I've seen you wear jeans/pants too often but this look is adorable!!
Wow, I don't think I've seen you in jeans before?
You have the perfect figure for them - you look hot!
And you really suit your glasses, you make them look sexy, I love it.
And the way you intoduced it with the script = super cute! <3 xxx
You look lovely in your glasses. I look like a deranged mole in mine. That is the difference between us.
That outfit...oh my god...simply stunning! I adore vests and coloured ballet flats...You combined them perfectly!
Those shoes are amazing!
Oh my goodness, you sound exactly like me! I need glasses to drive, and I need to be within two feet away from the computer screen to see it, yet I always insist not wearing them out. :) Glad I am not the only silly one.
If it is any consolation, I think you look fabulous in glasses!
I am so glad I have found your blog - thank you for commenting on mine and for your sweet words! Yes, I do jewellery designing/handcrafting full time. At the moment a lot of my profit is still going back into the business, but I don't mind cutting back other things to do something that I enjoy.
Your work is great!
