Covet or Leave It: Sky-High Platforms
I’ve remained quiet the couple of weeks only to break silence to express my abhorrence for these platform shoes! I’m kidding. About the silence, not the shoes.
I’ve spotted these types of platforms awhile back not thinking too much of them. Now they’re popping up like weeds all over the e-commerce websites I adore so much. There are many things that are much worse but that doesn’t make these platforms any better. I’m not exactly sure why I cringe at them. I think it’s the mere height of them and the chunky platforms; or, maybe it’s because I picture gigantic bell bottoms and color-tinted sunglasses. Oh, and peace signs.
This is a trend I think I’ll pass on.

Verdict:
Covet or Leave It: Retro-Inspired Shades
I wish I had a nose bridge. I constantly dream of wearing sunglasses that don’t have nose pads. Something different than aviators and, well, that’s all. Just aviators. That’s pretty much all I feel comfortable wearing. Otherwise, I’d have sunglasses that rest on my cheeks which makes me feel completely goofy.
Even with the hesitance, I have found myself falling in love with various shapes and sizes, pads or no pads. Gone are the days where I played it safe and went with something typical.
I think I might have to make a pit stop at the sunglass store soon.
