a twist on monochrome

Osiris frames on loan from Specsavers
Jumper and Leggings from New Look
Boots c/o Shoe Zone
Necklace c/o Kittenish Behaviour
As a glasses wearer I like to experiment within reason with the frames I wear. My current pair are bold purple and when Specsavers sent out an e-mail featuring these white frames I was incredibly intrigued. They may not be solid white, but still I had never seen frames this colour before and I kind of loved them and wondered how they’d work. I was kindly loaned a pair to have a play around with and the result is that I’m smitten and wish they were mine to keep!
I paired them with a fairly monochrome outfit to show the contrast at it’s best. For a while this was a go to weekend outfit but now I’m having second thoughts. Call it a crisis of confidence but I’m suddenly not sure it works.
But focusing on the frames, what do you think? I’m thinking it’s love, even if they are a tad oversized for my face…that only adds to the appeal.
