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.

#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.

long day

OK, it’s freezing out, too cold to ride my bike, I work nonstop these days, I’m out of peanut butter, and I have two (TWO!) gigantic blemishes on my chin, which are just astonishing in their size and projected lifespan.* I have to tell you, it is depressing.

*I know they are normal, pimples, common to the species, and I am still as lovable as before, which is I think moderately lovable, and my various skills are unimpaired, but few things put me in a worse mood. And they are not beautiful. I am still here and there beautiful, now and then beautiful, but it is clearly in spite of them.

In honor of these things, and so many more, late Monday post!

Coat. Scarf. Etc. MAC Rebel lipstick, though it’s coming off more pink here than it is in person, really it is more raspberry. I like.

I’m going to watch Downton Abbey now.
