Would Anna Wintour approve?
Posted on 06:25 by kumar
This is my Anna Wintour impression with a pair of thrifted glasses I picked up for under $10 the other day (at my fave new thrift shop, Canadian Thrift) - not bad eh? I think I look somewhat serious and intimidating, like the American Vogue editor-in-chief often does in photos, at least - as though I am scrutinizing some runway collection and about to release my verdict to the shiny beautiful masses.
There. I've managed what could be termed a smile. Wintour may roll her eyes at my cheapie thrifted glasses - they say they're by Identity and are "Designed in Italy" but the make is in China - sounds a wee bit like they're trying to be something they're not, doesn't it? But I liked the shape - they made me think of Wintour right away even though her trademark shades are much larger. I thought I could perhaps summon the necessary aloofness to wear them with as she does - with heaps of 'tude.
One whimsical element (and somewhat designer-ly as I have seen similar glasses by Gucci and others online) is the floral detailing on each arm - there are even a few darling little coloured faux rhinestones too, very Italian! Darling, wouldn't you say?
I'll be wearing them in the Spring, when sunny skies warrant donning a pair of spif sunglasses. Right now it's too grey to even think of shades, and even if I did wear them it's so cold out that they'd likely freeze to my face! Here's to an early Spring!!
