Outfit Of The Yesterday: It Was A Dark & Non-Stormy Night (+ Tom Ford Cat Eye Glasses)

♫: Your Rocky Spine – Great Lake Swimmers

…meh.  I hate cold and cloudy days.  And it’s the worst when it doesn’t even snow—it’s just cold and cloudy just because it can be, like Mother Nature’s equivalent of sticking her tongue out. Blah.

On a happier note (if you follow me on Instagram you might have already seen a sneak peek of this), I  finally found settled upon some new eyeglass frames. I am notoriously horrible at going to the optometrist with any regularity, but I’m also as blind as a bat and am about (two years past) due for my (very regular) three-year eye check-up.

So I decided to finally grab the Tom Ford 55mm Cat Eyes that I had been lusting over for the past year (style number: FT5224) (I am unsure of their proper name, or if they even have one–but I think they most mimic the Nikita sunglasses in shape):

I really like them. Husband really hates them.  Too bad–they are really light, comfortable, and big, which is great for all the times I go speeding down the stairs at 100mph and miss half the steps because I can’t see. Perhaps Husband is just sad that he will no longer see those spectacular times where I bravely decide to wrestle with gravity, lose, and tumble down the stairs into a big pile of mortification, and/or laughter, and/or tears and/or all-three-at-the-same-time. Or maybe it’s because I it seems that I cannot make a normal face while wearing them (as properly evidenced above). It’s hard to say.

But I am keeping them, and making faces while wearing them, and throwing them out this weekend to get some proper lenses put in; Team Four-Eyes for the win.

And with that, here’s the rest of the outfit.  Have a good weekend, you guys!  ♥
