Sexy Secretary?
Or in my case sexy middle manager? (Doesn’t really have the same ring to it though.) Glasses are the one accessory that my husband has actually called out as being “hot.” I am not sure I 100% get that, but I assumed that it ties back to the sexy secretary archetype.
My sad little glasses were beaten and broken, but because of the cost of glasses I was trying to make them last. Then I was in a serious meeting at work recently and someone mentioned that my lense was about to fall out. ha! Not really the best way to call attention, huh? Then I was reading my friend’s fabulous site and saw her Ray-Ban post and new I had to act. The frames I liked were filed into my noggin and I was set on making an eye dr. apt. The thought had been looming for months after the embarrassing work scenario, but I really needed to act. The following day I was at Target doing my weekly shop and I was just about to leave the store without spending over $50 (very hard to do in Target!) and I saw the optical center…believe it or not, I went right in with all my shopping bags and got an impulse eye exam. I literally had to take my laundry soap into the eye exam room. Have you ever?
I wanted to get the really big geeky chic glasses, but the lovely sales woman was very adamant that I get a more petite version and it was her birthday, so I let her win. She said my face was to small for the bigger ones. Do I have a small face? Does that coincide with having a little head? I hope not…I think my head is proportional to my body.
These are the ones that I purchased and sans Rx they were pretty affordable, but after all the bells and whistles they seriously cut into my “extra” holiday shopping cash, but my husband thinks I look “hot” in them so I am pretty pleased.

Very cute. They pull your whole look together fabulously! Not bad for an impulse eye exam
It’s funny how glasses have become trendy/an accessory these days. I’ve never really understood it as I’ve been wearing glasses since the 4th grade and contacts since I was 13! I actually had glasses just like your new pair (had them for 3 years)until I switched to my current pair that are deadstock 1950s cateye frames. I love vintage frames, I bought mine from a local etsy seller so got to try them on beforehand and they only cost $35. Then I got my rx put it for another $90 so the total was much cheaper than any other pair I’ve had in my life!
