A long while back I purchased a pair of cat eye frames. I got them but I wasnt super pleased with how they fit on my face. I know they couldve probably adjusted them but I dont live with "probablies" in my life. Im a planner so I knew I had to sell them and get a different pair. I checked on Etsy and found a pair of tortoise frames with rhinestones from shop
Vintage50sEyeWear that I wanted to give a whirl. BUT, I didnt have the money for them. So I messaged and asked (or begged, whichever you prefer) for a payment plan or even a swap. I had never done that before ever so I didnt have high hopes. I sent her pics of my pair of frames and she said it was a go - even Steven! I was soo excited. I finally got my new specs back last week. Im not sure they fit my face per se but ask me if I entirely care.
Also got this pair for when Im "unvintage". Be kind. It was late in the day by this time and I had dealt with many a poopy diaper.
So yeah, Im pleased so I thought Id share.
P.S This is the first time Ive had a photo of myself on my blog. Weird eh. No fancy tripod or camera for this girl. I dont ever plan to get one either!
How cute are you! Love the new glasses! The cats eye glasses I use sit too high on my face, but hey, no one but the cat sees me, so no biggie lol...
ReplyDeleteI need to get new ones...
Miss Atomic - I dont feel so cute lately so thats mucho appreciated!
ReplyDeletepffft I'd give up my best set of atomic lamps to look as good as you! =D
ReplyDeleteYou look adorable in either pair....although I do like the vintage ones best :-)
ReplyDeleteNot a bad premiere! You look adorable in your photo :-) Great glasses, you got a good deal!
ReplyDeleteLove both frames! Cats eyes are a bit strange when you first start wearing them as they sit differently on your face than modern glasses. I remember getting my first pair (which I had made into prescription sunglasses)and being really dissapointed when I put them on and thinking they looked weird. Now I love them and have 3 more pairs!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment on my 'name' post BTW. You have a fabulous name! :)
Clare - Thanks! I like my name but it sure gets tiring explaining it all the time.
ReplyDeleteKim - Thank you! I was very excited to do a trade deal. My husband was happy that I didnt spend any more money on vintage frames too haha.
moviemag- I do as well and what was more surprising is everyone gawking at me in the store when I picked them up and tried them on. Cat eye frames may make a come back in Clarksville.
Miss Atomic - you got a deal! haha I can never find a pair that I like and can afford!
How awesome that you were able to trade. I love the vintage frames.
ReplyDeleteyay! Cat eyes are the best frames, hands down. You look fabulous in them.
ReplyDeleteLove the glasses- you should totally wear them all the time, even when you're not "vintage", LOL.
ReplyDeleteBTW- my bathroom must be very similar to yours- it's pink with a black tile border as well.
Thanks gals!
ReplyDeleteSusie - Isnt it glorious? Its pretty much what sold the house for me.
Love the cat eyes! I have a black pair from the 50s that I wear whenever I am not wearing my contacts! I am always on the hunt for a silver-toned, aluminium pair by Art Craft with rhinestones! I have found a few on Etsy. They are either not in the best of shape or in great condition and too expensive! I know I will find "the ones" (and for a good price) one day!
ReplyDeleteI, too, love the pink tile! Talk about vintage perfection! I'm jealous! :)
I lOVE the new frames! A perfect fit I think.
ReplyDeleteAnd I also agree with Lady Betty - love the pink tile. (I dream of a pink bathroom of my own someday....)
-cheers, A Retro Remedy
Hey you are a doll! I rarely post my picture, but you should!! Love the cateyes and the pink tiles. Look forward to following your blog! Zootsuitmama
ReplyDeleteBoth look great on you! That was really cool of the Seller to work a swap for you.
ReplyDeleteI have an enormous Charlie Brown head and have yet to find vintage glasses that don't make me look like a Mrs. Potato head wearing tiny glasses.
You should post more self shots. You're beautiful!
Thanks so much ladies!
ReplyDeleteYou look very cute on both and I absolutely loooveee that 'Mexican style' shirt. ;)
