The other day I ran out of contact lenses and wound up wearing my nerdy glasses that I save for bedtime hours and occasional allergy flare-ups. But it caused quite a stir with friends I haven’t seen in a long time, who adored my suddenly geek-chic look. Turns out, my ripped up jeans, men’s T-shirt and Old Navy flip flops reach a new level of chic with a pair of dark-rimmed glasses topping it all off.
Their raves inspired me to go out and buy another pair of glasses from Urban Outfitters. Perfectly retro, yet sweetly nerdish enough to pull off the innocent school charm of days gone by, I plan to wear these long into the fall and winter when I’m feeling uninspired to accessorize with gusto. Available in black and tortoiseshell for $14, they’re such an affordable way to add some flair without a lot of effort.
