  • 1800 Specs Sponsored Post: Styling Geeky Glasses

    This post is sponsored by 1800 Specs. They offer prescription glasses started as low as $20 and have a great selection of stylish options. Did you know that you own your prescription? From your eye exam, you can take your prescription directly on the site when you order, making it really easy to pick up your favorite pair. A few of my favorite pairs from 1800 Specs are the hipster, roxy, and mad men styles

    If you follow me on twitter you might already know this but Henry got glasses last week! It’s been a bit of a challenge getting him adjusted to wearing them but he’s getting the hanging of it slowly. It doesn’t hurt that he does look pretty adorable in them. Glasses are so cute and are all over fashion right now.
    Today I’m sharing with you some favorite ways to style some of these trendy geeky glasses.

    Pairing them with another current trend makes it more stylish and less ‘library nerd’. Try some bright pants, polka dots, or a stylish fitted trench.

    Slip on a cute dress to play up your feminine side (it’s sometimes easy to hide behind those frames) and plus, don’t dresses make you feel extra hot?

    Those wide frames are trendy, really fun, and a bit quirky! Try it out! Plus- not sure if there’s any science behind this last part- they make you smarter than your high school calculus professor (or at least they make you feel that way)

    What do you think? How would you style geeky glasses?

    16. Lisette said… November 7, 2011 7:21 am

      I have always wanted to wear glasses until I finally needed them. Now I hardly wear them and somehow it does not feel as cool. Is it just me??

      Have you seen the new Mr. Gandy pics with geeky glasses? It was a D&C ad for Mariano Vivanco. Oh there's science behind this – yum. !
