I told y'all that #wearyourpraise is a thing.
You see, friends, I've been...contacted. Yes. That's it. I've been contacted. I received an email asking me if I was interested in an affiliate post, in exchange for product.
Wouldn't you know it, my very-very first really true affiliate post is with (drumroll...)
Readers.com
Stop laughing, because you are about to be jealous.
Given, this wasn't totally out of the blue. I heart Readers.com, and that's never been a secret. I have declared my bifocal reader love to the world, in several earlier posts. But I had to buy the bifocals first. So you can imagine my excitement, in getting a few pair to enjoy at no charge...
...if I'd just blog about them.
This is big, y'all.
I really truly wear my bifocal readers every day of my life. Why bifocal readers? Two reasons:
1. Glasses are a fashion statement all by themselves. This makes me feel lucky to need readers. People who don't need eyeglasses are wearing fake glasses. And if you do need glasses, and you are wearing contacts...well...you and I can't be friends.
Just kidding. But seriously, consider wearing glasses like any other fashion accessory - and get more than one pair. A girl needs several pairs, to match her outfit or her mood.
And hey...if this article by THE Sartorialist can't convince you to get on the glasses train...I can't help you.
I told you you'd be jealous. Wearing glasses is a beautiful thing.
Reason number 2 I wear bifocal readers every day: Back before I discovered bifocal readers, I was continually losing my regular readers. My only recourse was either go bifocal, or buy a chain to attach my readers to, and hang them around my neck.
Um. Ain't gonna happen.
Because, even though I am a granny, I can't wear my readers on a chain like a granny. Because I want my grandkids to be able to wear shirts like this:
And if I wear my readers on a chain, that can't happen.
I'm excited to share a few styles of readers with you, and chat just a little bit about glasses in general.
First up, is the Ivy League bifocal
...I wear these when I'm feeling intellectual. Which is every day, almost.
Next, are my all-time favorites, the Elwood bifocal, with a tortoise frame:
No lie, I feel pretty in these specs and this dress. And that's what "wear your praise Wednesday" is about. Here's another mood:
Next, when you are in a fun-loving state of mind:
(I wore these with my orange T-shirt this past Saturday...thinking it would be good luck for my team, the Tennessee Volunteers. Alas.)
I requested these specifically. I wanted them, because white-rimmed eyeglasses are trending hard right now, as evidenced by my new friend, the adorable Gabi Blair of Design Mom:
Diverting just a minute to sunglasses, I also love these:
The "Iris" bifocal sunglasses. I refuse to wear any other bifocal sunglasses for now. These win. Hands down....er...hands up...and peace out.
Last but not least, when I want my glasses to be cute, but understated, I go with these "Indiana" bifocals:
Once in awhile, I may be in an every-day-ish, understated sort of mood, but don't be fooled. My glasses may be understated, but my heart still wants to wear its praise and live loudly.
