Accessories can completely make an outfit...they can add that extra dollop of sweetness or chutzpah to your look.
What better way to accomplish this than with sleek eye wear...your face is the first thing people see, and presents your personality {almost} instantly.
Warby Parker's new Winter Collection does just that.
I am being modest here. If I could type my reactions to gawking through their new items, there would not be space on this page.
If I was still 13 and did not know that too many exclamation points were childish, I would use all. of. them.
When I was sent the materials and photos for their new collection, I had a November Christmas moment. My husband thought it was just the funniest thing ever, but I unwrapped each zip drive like a mad woman. And, Mr. Nelson, Mr. Serious Face, sauntered over and looked through the pages with me, thoroughly impressed.
Where, how do I even begin?
To 'intro' this piece, here is Warby Parker's own take on their polished new collection...
"The six new rich tones and eight new shapes
from this year’s Winter Collection will help
you put your best foot—or face, rather—forward,
even in the event of a polar vortex. We mixed
stainless steel with acetate, freshened up
existing silhouettes with color treatments,
and renovated classic shapes for unshakably
confident options with a lot of character.
Available November 4 online and in stores
and showrooms; starting at $95"
Polished. I have to repeat myself.
Their vision for these looks is undeniably pristine and yet relaxed. One of my favorites is the 'Keene Beach Glass.' I am a fan of grey, pretty much all shades. I love to decorate with it, wear it, etc. These are so clean and can be easily dress up or paired with a tee and leather jacket for a more casual feel. They are pretty, but precisely understated.
Another trend seen in their new collection is tortoise, including a 'burnt lemon' take on the pattern. Burnt lemon...that just sounds interesting! And, do not be scared off by yellow, I know I have trouble wearing the color (because of my skin tone and hair color), but it is a soft touch of the hue, just enough to grab your attention, but not overtake the print.
Glasses are not supposed to cover your face. They have their "necessary" duty, of course...but eye wear should accentuate your natural colors, features, and personal style. Warby Parker does an exceptional job at creating unique and beautiful pieces that do not overpower their proprietor.

One last fun idea...I put together two outfits at the shop (Mosaic) and I think the 'Barkley Antique Shale Fade' sunglasses would be a most stylish asset to these looks.
Thank YOU for taking the time to check out my thoughts on Warby Parker's Winter Collection 2014. I am eager to hear the public reception of the new line. Warby Parker was gracious enough to desire my opinion and words on their creations, and I appreciate that so much. I decided to accept their invitation to write on this because I was truly smitten with their designs and excited attitude.
