Enter new nerdy look! After years of wearing contacts, I have finally made the switch to wearing glasses full-time. I'll admit, at first I was a bit nervous about it all; the past few years, I used to be extremely self-conscious about wearing glasses. They just didn't look right one me, and I soon succumbed by switching to contacts.

However, I am happy to say that after four years, I have finally accepted glasses. I have decided they don't look half as bad as I once thought they did. I'm getting over this self-conscious thing. It's just plain silly, that's what. And defying this fear is really quite freeing; I can already see the word for 2012 coming to pass. Growth. Time to start this growing process.

"Come here, Mr. Fear-of-Wearing-Glasses. I smash you."

Moving on.

A shout out to my dear mama for taking most of the above pictures for me. Sweaters are sort of a new addiction -- and so are moccasins. Seriously, I am wearing those things everywhere. The first time I put them on, I yelled out, "They're just so fuzzzzy!" in front of a the whole shoe section in Macy's. It was rather embarrassing. Thinking back, I ought to have said fluffffffy -- then it would have been an epic Despicable Me moment.

Anyhoo, hope you all have a lovely Friday! I need to go make a potato salad. Just thought you should know.

  8. You look so cute! Reminds me of this online "show" called "the Girls with Glasses". They're awesome. They do crafts and share fashion tips. You should check them out. They have so many different styles of glasses, it's amazing. :)

  9. so funny, you sound like Mike in the "Come here Mr. Fear...I smash you" line. I'm in love with the new lens of yours. Every picture is fuzzed just enough in the background. 50mm right? To bad my camera doesn't have a lens attachment, cuz I would buy one and use it.

    1. Hah, yeah, most of my humor now-a-days is greatly influenced by that guy. And yes, 50mm lenses are pretty awesome. I'm not sure if you can do this on your camera, but turning down your aperture to something like 2.5 can also help reduce the depth of field for that blurred-background look.
