Confession

image via style pill

We've all been seeing this nerdy chic (read: giant eyeglasses) look lately, and I must confess I find it quite endearing. I saw a young girl helping her mom at a flea market a few weeks back sporting these oversized, thick-goggles and on her they looked incredibly adorable (she was also about 16, tall, slender, and had long blonde locks....so what wouldn't look adorable on her? lol).

I don't think I'd ever go there myself with this look, as I wouldn't want to come off as nerd gone wrong a la Britney Spears (see last photo below), but I can still find it charming and say "more power to you!" if you have the confidence to pull this off.

What do you think of it?

gah! NERDY CHIC GONE WRONG...VERY WRONG!

P.S. If you liked my post yesterday and are looking for a DIY option to make your own garden chandelier, Gillian at Dried Figs and Wooden Spools came up with a really fabulous LED chandelier for her garden (evidenced below). Want the how-to? Just click here.

Thanks Gillian for the photo!

  2. Just found your blog and it's oh-so lovely! Following you ow and gonna read up more on the DIY chandeliers! As for the nerdy chic look - yep - I got a pair of faux glasses but honestly I think it makes it harder to see with them on. So sadly I rarely wear them.

  4. I don't really like them ... at all.
    But that's because I wore glasses from the time I was 3 years old until I was 19 years old.
    So I guess I just have a natural hatred towards them :P

  11. Hi Bre, thanks for following my blog (right back at you! Your blog is brill). Funnily enough I was at Dublin Flea Market on Sunday and I too saw a tall blonde young lass trying on nerdy glasses. I have to admit part of me was like that is so cool but she was so young and chic even without the glasses!!! I know I wouldnt get away with it..a really cross School Librarian springs to mind!!!?!
