Whether you wear eyeglasses or not, you have to admit that they are a pretty darn cute accessory. So cute, in fact, people are wearing them even when they don’t need a prescription. The trend in wearing glasses as accessories really started when celebs began sporting them in press interviews and in their photoshoots. (Remember when J. Lo wore these cat eye glasses and everyone went nuts?!) I had the chance to collaborate with Eyemart Express on a fun shoot showing fun ways to wear eyeglasses as an accessory with all different kinds of looks. (Here’s a behind-the-scenes video of our shoot.) Check out what we came up with….
It all started with choosing frames, which is a fun experience! Eyemart Express has hundreds to choose from, so narrowing it down is the hardest part. I love that they carry brands I recognize, like Via Spiga, GUESS, and Geek Eyewear. I wanted my first look to be a dressed up, more formal dress, so I chose the ARIANNA – ALYSSA, which is a black, chain link look with diamond accents. Instead of piling on a ton of jewelry to accessorize the dress, it’s a nice change of pace to simply throw on some fancy frames! And yes, you can wear glasses with a formal dress…I think it makes the look even more elegant.
For a casual day out shopping, running errands, or drinking coffee with friends, I knew I could choose frames that were a little more fun and quirky. I couldn’t decide between red frames or blue, so I chose both! The bright red frames are a gorgeous pair from GUESS- 2549, and the blue pair are by VIA SPIGA -PIA 770 with pretty tortoise arms on the sides. If you’re bored with your look and want to inject some fun and color into your wardrobe, one of these frames is a great way to do it.
Frames not only add some drama and fun to what you’re wearing, but they can totally change your appearance depending on your mood. (See how two of my fav bloggers, The Style Barn and Vanessa in Dallas styled theirs above.) Do you have frames you wear as accessories? Let me know how you like to wear yours-post pics so I can see how you style them!
