You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine






Outfit:
Cat-eye tortoise shell glasses - c/o Glasses Direct 
Black bauble necklace - New Look
Black leopard print collared coat - Topshop
Black and white abstract print shirt - River island via Leather Lane Market
Black skinnies - Primark
Black and white Dalmatian print pony haired loafers - Next

As some of you know I wear prescription glasses full time. I'm far too lazy to wear contact lenses all the time as I much prefer to have that extra time to indulge in some shut-eye. Therefore when I look for glasses I like pairs that make a bit of a statement so when Glasses Direct got in touch I was immediately drawn to Scout Glasses on their website. I like anything vintage inspired so knew I had to get these cat-eye specs when I saw them. With plenty of women's glasses on offer, it was a hard choice! I was a bit self conscious at first with these frames. I don't very often go so big and was worried they drowned my face. But now I've been wearing them for a week or so I love them! Nearly everyone I've seen has passed a comment about how lovely they are. If that isn't reassurance I've made the right choice then I don't know what is!

This is a typical work outfit for me. A pair of super soft Primark skinnies with a some sort of shirt thrown on. It's comfortable yet makes me look presentable. I hope. My colleagues must start to think I only have one type of trousers and I don't wash them!  I did have this bright idea of wearing heels when I started working in London along with just wearing Topshop and Zara clothes exclusively. That never did happen. Instead I'm a flats fiend and still spending all my dollar in Primark. Maybe one day...

What style of glasses do you like best?
