Brides Wearing Glasses

Beau and I are in the finishing stages of preparing for our wedding this weekend. There are still a few tiny details and decisions that need to be ironed out. One of them is the deciding whether or not to wear my glasses for the entirety of our big day. 

I have been wearing my glasses for 14 years now (since I was 7 years old) and have seen it as an extension of myself. However, I considered removing them for the ceremony in order to achieve what I thought would be 'better looking photos'. I planned on using the little vision that I have to be able to make it down the aisle and throughout the day, but after reviewing our engagement photos (where I removed my glasses for all of the photos), I would feel much more comfortable wearing them because I look much better with them on and because of the insecurities I have surrounding my exotropia.

I am still a little worried about wearing glasses for fear of the awful glare with flash photography and having them look cumbersome with a veil, but I researched photos of brides wearing glasses, and found that they were all beautiful and glare free.

 

I now feel more comfortable going with my gut feeling and wearing my glasses. Besides, I wear my glasses every single day of my life, so why should I remove them for just that one day?

Zooey Deschanel

I loved her wardrobe in (500) days of Summer. She had an ultra feminine-vintage style that I wouldn't even mind making my own... A lot of dresses and high waisted bottoms with bow accents in her hair and cute, simple shoes all in various shades of blue. I wish I could shop in her closet. *sigh*

Oh, the movie was pretty good too. ツ

Forever 21TM... Maternity?

Yea. It's posted on The Skinny. It seems as if every few months, or so, they add a new line. From the original Forever 21^TM to:
-- Heritage 1981^TM: vintage clothing, accessories, and shoes for men and women.
-- Twelve by Twelve^TM: Upscale Los Angeles inspired clothing.
-- Love 21^TM: contemporary line for women
-- Faith 21^TM: "Extended Sizes" aka Plus sized clothing
-- HTG♥Kids^TM:
-- 21Men^TM
-- Love & Beauty^TM: Cosmetics line ....

... and now, they have a maternity line, for what may have been created for our era of teen moms. I mean, I guess some items are kind of cute:




At this rate, Forever21^TM should just open a department store.
