Dial D for Denial

 Dress: Donna Ricco, vintage, thrifted;
Boots, tights: Target; Scarf: H&M; Belt: LOFT;
Carpet saddle bag: vintage, thrifted;
3d glasses: from the movie theater.
Shop similar: Dress, sweater, scarf.

I think my body is in total denial that it's roughly 40 degrees outside, and so it leaves the car looking like this. My body wants to frolic in leaves and wear September-era outfits, and Mother Nature wants to show off all the ways she can make precipitation. It may take a little while for my body to sync up to that.
 
Not to be outdone, my face is in denial of the fact that these glasses aren't real. My eyes, having been taunted their whole lives for having 20/20 vision, now feel accepted in the world for wearing a fake pair. They've been really going on about it -- it's quite a spectacle.

Whether my eyes will give up this tragic buffoonery, well, that remains to be seen.

  3. I do the same thing, try and get away with cardigans when I need a coat!

  4. I'm in denial of the cold weather, too - but I was quickly smacked in the face yesterday morning when it was 10 degrees outside! Eesh! Out came the coat, hat, and gloves!

  5. haha. be very very happy that you see fine without glasses though! My husband has had to wear glasses since he was a freshman in high school and hates them (but I think they look hot on him). Interesting how some people wish they could wear them. It is cool that you can use them as an accessory and have good vision without them. heheheh.

  8. Your title made me laugh at work like a weirdo. Fake glasses all over the place! (well, you and Tania of WWANW) As a life long glasses wearer, it does seem totally odd to me that people would want to wear glasses on purpose, but I know that I like the way mine look on me, and I wouldn't want to rain on anyone's glasses parade. I'm struggling with this 40 degree weather too, but I gave up and pulled out a legit coat today for biking in.

  11. I WISH I had 20/20 vision - instead I am stuck with terrible vision and the optometrist telling me it gets worse and worse each year - ugh.

    I too am in denial of cold weather - I hate it. Blast all those cold winds!

    And this outfit is sooo cute - I love the pattern mixing between the dress, the scarf, and cardigan! The colors unite it all together in the most perfect of ways! Love!

  12. I'm loving e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g about these pics: the colour palette (red, white and blue - my fave!), the wonderfully nerdy 3d specs (genius!) and most of all, the faded Coco Cola advertising in the background (magazine quality).

    Rockin'!

  16. Love the scarf and how you paired it with that dress! The tassles are such a fantastic touch!

    I have the opposite of you-- I am envious of people in the cold weather. Texas is only just starting to get chilly and I want more more more (and then I will want less less less). Ha.

  17. I totally wear fake glasses. Not so often, lately, but at times I reach for them everyday. Why should we be punished for our perfect eyesight?

    Those boots are really awesome. :)
