New glasses!

I ordered new glasses a few days ago because I was fed up with the goofy ones I have. I have a normal pair of rectangular brown ones from when I got my eye exam, but they're men's glasses and are too big for my face. I also have two sort of wacky pairs from Coastal, but I was so fed up with goofy glasses I just had to get a more normal pair. And these aren't exactly normal, but they're a light brown and they're smaller than any of my other pairs. So! I'm happy. I had come home from work and they were waiting for me, so I threw on a wrinkled shirt and my fave cords and snapped a few photos. Chris was outside with me when I was taking these, and we tried to do a few jumping shots, but they were a miserable failure! Anyone have any tips??

Chris picked up a summer cold at work and passed it on to me (isn't that nice??), so I've been feeling like poop for the last couple of days. Yesterday was my day off and I was supposed to go into the city to visit my sister, but I kept falling asleep, and I didn't want to pass my bug on to my sister and nephew, so I opted to stay home. Good thing I did because I took like five naps, and stayed in my pajamas for the entire day. Chris brought me dinner and I felt a little better, so hopefully it's on its way out. I really hope so, because on Monday I'm driving out to Indianapolis for a little girl's trip with Kaelah for the better part of the week! I'm so excited to take a little break and hang out with her, and it's extra awesome because we've never had strictly girl time! All our visits have included the boys, I think we had maybe half a day one time where we went shopping by ourselves. But this is going to be awesome, we have so much to talk about, what with her wedding coming up and my Renegade plans... I can't wait!!

Playing dress up.

I'm a wee bit obsessed with this tee lately. I wanted to wear it in some outfit pictures, so I threw it together with this skirt and some new heels just for fun.

Shirt: Target

Skirt: from my mom

I got a new pair of glasses, too! I wasn't sure if they'd look good on me but I really love them! I usually stick to square ones, but I went with round ones, and they're pretty darn perfect :)

Last week I had a much overdue eye exam, and I picked out new glasses after three years of wearing a pair with an old prescription. I really had a hard time choosing a pair I liked! I needed to be budget-conscious but I still wanted to find frames that were quirky and cute enough to fit my style. I ended up finding these little pretties in the Men's section, and apparently they had just put this pair out that morning. I snagged them up and proceeded to wait a week for the lenses to be put in. I got the call this morning that they were ready for me, so I drove on over and picked them up! I'm so excited to be able to wear glasses and actually SEE! My last pair were strictly for wearing around the house (mostly at night). I couldn't drive in them because my vision was pretty blurry, so wearing them in public was out of the question. The prescription in these is the same as my contacts, but I'm having a little trouble adjusting to them! I feel like I'm in a fun house :) I brought them home, changed my outfit (it's windy today, the first dress I was wearing was not keeping my bits covered!), and snapped a few pictures!

What do you think? I took these photos with a new little point-and-shoot Olympus I got the other night when we picked up my laptop. It was a $130 camera that I got for $40! It's not the greatest thing in the world, but it'll be nice to have a tiny camera I can keep in my purse. I still have my heart set on getting a nice Nikon, but that'll have to wait a while :)

I hope you're having a great day! I'm ready to sit on the couch and knit for the evening... My perfect night!

*EDIT* I forgot to add that the title of this post is courtesy of Chris... He came home from work and saw me in my glasses and said I looked like a "granddaddy librarian, but way hotter"... What a goofball!
