what on earth is that big blinding thing in the sky? is that the sun? a rare sighting in seattle has been making appearances this week. i had to dust off my sunglasses last week and promptly put them away after it began raining again, but this week it’s been nothing but the good stuff. it’s been in the 70s and 80s all week and i’m loving it.
the other thing that spring brings is allergy season, which for me means crazy itchy eyes. it means that my contacts are hiding in their case in favor of glasses most of the time… the only problem? i don’t own prescription sunglasses. i decided to give warby parker a shot – you can do an at home try-on service with them where you get to “borrow” some shades for a few days before making the big commitment.
these are the Reilly shades. i’m really digging the vintage vibe of these, but i think they may be a bit too big for my face.
i also tried the Madison frames. i like these, but i think they’re too similar to my Ray Bans that i wore in last week’s post. i ordered a second set of sunglasses for another at home try on, and i can’t wait to “borrow” those too!
what i’m wearing:
top: nordstrom (similar)
skinnies: lc lauren conrad
wedges: merona
necklace (short): gorjana
necklace (long): gorjana via rocksbox
ring: margaret elizabeth via rocksbox
sunglasses (#1): borrowed from warby parker
sunglasses (#2): borrowed from warby parker

have you ever tried buying sunglasses or glasses online? + what’s the weather like where you are?
happy friday!
The weather here in L.A. is scorching hot! I am wishing for fall right at this moment, and that it was also in the 70’s and 80″s. The sunglasses look very cool on you, and they are essential for me here!
Much Love,
Tania

Hi Jenn. Looking so fly in your gorgeous Warby Parker Shades. I also love the flowy orange top (I have a similar one) and those Taupe Wedges.
Have a Lovely Weekend Hun!!
Ada. =)

I really like the color of your shirt! The weather has been pretty dreary here–I’m hoping for some sunshine soon!

thanks, Jess! its hard to find cute prescription friendly sunglasses, so i’m excited to have so many options at an affordable price! :)
I’ve never tried the warby parker deal where they send them to you in the mail… It sounds like way too much of a commitment and knowing me I’d never actually send them back. Target sunglasses all the way for me!

haha, if i wasn’t in the market for prescription sunglasses, i probably wouldn’t have given it a second look. for the price and convenience of not having to leave my house to go to the optometrist, it’s pretty nice! :)
You look so elegant and classy in this outfit! I love your coral top.
thank you, Rebecca! :)
Such a pretty, bright, bold look! Super cute, yet super wearable. You look great! ;)
God bless,

thanks so much, Claire!
Yes, I have learned you wear sunglasses {or “sunnies” are how I love to term them) on an over-cast day or not facing into the sun. The sun sort of ruins the look of sunnies in photos. seem ironic, huh?
and Thanks for being at *FiF* this week again. I love it so much to see more and more participate each week and being more and more loyal to our fun blog hop. Your blog is super original and I love it!!!! ♥, Renae
aw, thanks so much Renae! yes, its so hard to be photographed when wearing sunglasses in the sun. it seems its either too shady or too much sun since its been so nice lately! oh well, could be worse ;)
Cute sunglasses!
thanks for stopping by! :)
LOVE warby parker! Those sunnies look fab on you! Thanks for linking up!!
