Two for Tuesday: Talk Nerdy to Me

If you follow me on instagram, this post will probably be a complete waste of your time.

You've been warned.

Anywho, for those of you who don't know:  I got new glasses!  Woot!  Woot!

It wouldn't be right for me to visit the great state of Florida and not pop in to Fisher Eye Associates in Oviedo.  Good thing I did:  turns out I was four years overdue for an eye exam.  Oops!  This also means I've been wearing the same frames for the last four years, which means that (obviously) I needed not one, but two, new pairs.  One of the perks of having a sister and brother-inlaw who own an optometry practice is access to great frames

We all know I've had a hankering for some nerdy girl glasses and after much deliberation, this is what I ended up with:

I know, I know.  Old news.  Posted on instagram Friday.  What can you do?!

Pair Numero Uno = Coach

Pair Numero Dos = Dolce and Gabbana

Which pair do you like best?  (If you can't decide that's ok too - neither could I!)

When Bad Necklaces Happen to Good People

Ever find yourself wearing something, not because you love it, but just because it was there?

Guilty. As. Charged.  

I need to get better at purging and wearing/keeping only what I love, so that mistakes like this don't happen:

Check out that necklace.  What the ____ was I thinking?!

As you know, I'm down at my parents' place in Florida.  I keep a small selection of clothing here, so I don't have to bring anything when I travel.  Unfortunately, this means there are a few gems lying around that would be better off in a Good Will donation bin.  This necklace is one of them.

I found this bead/shell concoction in a drawer and for whatever reason, decided to put it on instead of throw it out.  It completely ruins this look.  Don't underestimate the impact accessories can have on a outfit - they can make or (in this case) break it.  There's a reason you've never heard the phrase "Golden Girls Chic..."

Let this be a cautionary tale.  The next time you find yourself reaching for an item just because it's there ask yourself: Do I love it? Does it add to my overall look or detract from it? Would I buy it today? If you answer negatively to any of those questions, let it go. You're much better off with a smaller wardrobe full of items you love, than a closet overflowing with less-than-wonderful pieces.  

When in doubt, remember that simple is often best.  As Coco Chanel said: "Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and remove one accessory." - Oh, if only I had taken her advice!  

What about you?  What's your latest fashion faux paux?  Please share below and let me know I'm not alone!

Mini Disney Vaca

It's hard to believe that just last week I was in sunny Florida wandering around Disney World.  Now I'm back to the arctic tundra otherwise known as Rochester NY.  Still cold and snowy here.  Ugh.  I'm so ready for Spring!

Here are a few highlights from our trip to Disney last week.  Enjoy!

We stayed at Disney's Art of Animation resort in a Cars suite.  So cool!

This was all right at our hotel!

Watching the Parade.
I love that they are making the same face!

Obligatory Cinderella's Castle Pic

Jungle Cruise

Colten's Driving Debut

You got to have a Mickey head icecream!

Coopy loved Disney!
I'm pretty sure he thought the rental stroller was a ride...

Whatcha sleepin for Big Brother?  We've got princesses to flirt with!

Grandma and Grandpa

In the pool with Grandpa

Stroller Grouch Count:  1.5

Yikes!

Twins!

Who do you think had more fun:  me or the kids?
