In today’s post, I poke fun at hipsters. You see, it kills me when I see people, who don’t need glasses, wearing glasses to affect a cool look. I don’t think there’s anything cool about needing glasses. They are terribly uncomfortable and give me headaches, so I only wear mine when I actually have to see things (except in this post because I want to coordinate with Hello Kitty 
). (An aside to fellow Bay Area drivers: I always, always, always wear prescription sunglasses when driving, so no worries. Another aside: If you see me out and want to say, “Hello”, please come very close to me so that I can see you.)
Anyway, on one of the boards I like to hang out on, a member posted this adorable Hello Kitty shirt from Forever 21 (thanks piratebooti). Living in Silicon Valley and being the geek that I am, I had to have it.
I wear my necessary glasses and Hello Kitty with jeans also from Forever 21, a Miu Miu bow satchel, and Balmain sandals.
Here’s the f21 stock picture …
And if you want one too, you can buy it here.
I am taking off my glasses now and going to go pick up a pizza. Thanks for reading and see you soon. — Carole
Best Hello Kitty t-shirt ever! Can’t wait to wear mine with pride.

Isn’t it the best? Go “Kitty Pride”.

I just bought that shirt a few days ago! And I totally love your Balmain shoes!
)) You’re rocking those styles, babe! Keep up the good work! You know I’ll keep coming back for more!
Love, Adeliet

Welcome Adeliet! Thanks so much for your super sweet comments. You are always welcome to visit!! Don’t you just LOVE that HK shirt?

Oh by the way, I’m sure you make a very hot geek! I don’t think any ‘real’ geeks out there actually know/own Balmain shoes? LOL. Hee. I’m a ‘closet’ geek too and I completely agree with you regarding your take on spectacles. I can’t wear them a lot too and my eyesight is getting worse.

Thank you, Antoine. THAT’s the first time anyone has said geek = seductive to me

You look good in glasses – and I want that shirt now.

Thanks again! I wish I didn’t need glasses, they’re hurty! As for HK, isn’t THAT the best one ever?

Such cute and funny outfit
I’ve worn hipstery-nerd glasses forever, but *very* much out of necessity, I promise. Anyway, I think you look great with them on! And I love how you accessorized the look with those sandals — it gives the whole look a certain pizazz. Not to mention that amazing Miu Miu bow…that’s a bag that’s been on my wishlist for forever!

Thanks so much, dear. I have a lot of years time in on the nerdy glasses too — like you, I need them.

You might hate it, but I think this would look so cute on you.

Hi S! I actually have been looking for a dress like that for a while. Thanks for posting the link!!
Comment by SASY — August 14, 2009 @ 9:28 pm
That sucks that they’re out of it. Someone told me they were having a good sale so I looked through things, saw that dress and thought how cute it would look on you. They must have gone quickly at that price. I’ll keep my eyes open for another deal.

Hi there, I found this post when I was googling about the Miu Miu bow satchel. I totally agree with you about people who wear glasses just for fashion but don’t really need them. They didn’t go through childhood getting teased or bullied about their glasses! And now they wear them to look hip. C’mon
What next? Braces will be the next hip thing! lol.

LOL. Braces! *Shuddering* over the thought.

I am not a hipster either but your fashion sense is very cute! LOVE the eyeglasses

Thanks so much. “Working” with my eyeglasses was fun here!
