i don't know if i've ever mentioned it here before, but i am blind as a bat. without corrective lenses, that big E on the eye chart might as well be a rhinoceros. usually, i wear contacts to combat this issue (i'm terrified of lasik surgery), but some days they give me the most dreadful headaches.
since i'm a girl who loves her sunnies, i've had several favorite pairs turned into prescription glasses over the years. that way, whenever i must sport specs, at least it seems a smidge chicer (if only in my own eyes, no pun intended). maybe one day i'll showcase this little collection?
anyway, the only problem with said solution is that, because my vision is so poor, the lenses i require are about a quarter-inch thick. i'm talking total coke bottle territory! you can barely see my eyes underneath them...
...but they're all the better to see YOU with, my dears!! (bwahahahaha...!)
ahem. what i really wanted to talk about today is these miu miu pants (yes, again). i just love them so much!! i've definitely played the fashion victim before, shelling out big bucks for something i later regretted. but every time i wear these babies, i become even happier that i bought them! they're stunningly well-made, super versatile, super comfortable ~ and truly able to be dressed up or down at the turn of a hat. wardrobe workhorses like these are always worth the investment, don't you agree?
and, though i wouldn't really consider this sweater an investment piece (at under $100), it's also earning its cost-per-wear keep. i don't know why it's taken me so long to discover the beauty of oversized sweaters ~ but now that i have, i can't wait to find more!! if only to give this one a few days off...
