Pass the Specs

Dress: New Look
Tights: Primark
Boots: Madden Girl c/o Sarenza
A few days ago I was contacted by Specsavers about taking part in a fun little game called “Pass the Specs”. The idea behind the game is that a pair of frames is sent to five bloggers each month, in turn to see how they style them up.
The frames in question were these beauties by Armani and I have fallen head over heels in love with them, so much so that I am going to scope out my local Specsavers on my lunch break tomorrow, see if they have them and then book in an (admittedly overdue) eye test. I’ve never really been sold on larger frames on my face but without wishing to sound big headed I really think these suit me. I think half the problem before was that my face wasn’t full enough to take them…recovery has so many upsides and I think that warrants a spectacle shaped treat don’t you?
I’m not really sure if I had any inspiration behind this outfit other than it’s what I would and do wear on a daily basis and I think it complements the frames quite well. Something I’ve learnt over the years is that glasses don’t have to be a bind. If you need them you need them and it’s only recently that I’ve started heeding that advice and wearing mine when required. 
Sorry to detract from the main topic of this post, but oh these boots. I’ve had them since I injured my foot and this was the first chance I had to wear them. In love. I managed a whole day on my feet in them with no discomfort. Expect to seem them rather a lot more.
Back on track; what do you think of the frames? What would you style them with?
I can’t wait to see what the other bloggers in this month’s challenge come up with!

  2. They DO really suit you! ‘m really fancying some new specs, there are some lovely frames around. I have real trouble finding any to suit though as apparently I have one ear slightly higher than the other, so they sit funny! :\

  3. I absolutely love this shape, and the size of the frames – they look so, so good on you! Perfect x

  4. The frames look awesome on you… And I work at Specsavers! Love those boots too. Hope you’re feeling a little more revived after your chill time xxxx

  5. The frames really suit you. I have large Ray Ban glasses and think they’re the only ones I can pull off. Someone people look lovely in delicate frames but I just can’t work them.

    I think new glasses are a must instead of a want anyway, for the good of your health!

  6. the glasses look cute!! I have Gucci frams I love ’em! xx

  7. That’s a great idea for a challenge – they really suit you!

  8. They do really suit you and I may have to mug you for the boots! 😉 x
