Cat Eyes

I love how our generation tends to recycle many trends from the past.  We have a facination of the fashion era we were never apart of, and yet we honour what was a stroke of genius that they were not even aware of back in the day.  In particular the 1950s Cat Eyes have made it's way back to our eyeglass frame wear in which we find cheeky brands such as Coach, CoverGirl, Raybans, DKNY, Burberry and many others marketing this timeless trend.  I finally got myself a new pair of glasses with this style and I still find it surprising that I can pull off this look.  I got mixed reviews with my parents not so thrilled that I spent over $300 for frames, that I probably could have found the same pair in a stash of old boxes that belonged to my grandmother.  Apparently I resembled an old librarian to them. And it didn't help that I started to wear my hair in a bun, that really brought out the stereotype in their eyes....But I got some reassurance from my younger sister who really said, and I quote, you look "studious"!! I was relieved she said she wished she wore glasses so that she could buy a pair like mine lol...  I even bought a pair of Bruno Mar's Doo-Ops and Hooligans SunGlasses that brings me back to Rock N'Roll days of 1950s diners and records. Loving the Puuuurfect Cat Eyes xoxo ~ d'Avelu
