Spectacular Sunday: SEE Eyewear

I have been spying on SEE Eyewear for a while now, 
{ever since I fell in love with some glittery frames}

There are so many interesting styles and TONS of color combinations,
 but they change so quickly! 
Here one moment, gone the next.
Get um' while they are hot! 
1. As seen on SEE Eyewear on Instagram SEE 5376
{feat: Lindsayvictory on Instagram- no longer on their website}
2. As seen on SEE Eyewear's Instagram:
Top: SEE 3630 | Bottom: SEE 2357 {no longer on their website, similar style is SEE 1527}
3. As seen on SEE Eyewear's Instagram SEE 4441 
{feat: Margiee329 - available in select stores only}
6. {no longer available online}
7. SEE 6833 {red no longer available online}
8. {no longer available online- similar style to my new loves SEE 8126
last picture in this post}
9. SEE 6833 {blue no longer available online}
10. SEE 6833 in "Tokyo Gold Teal Crystals"

So a couple of months ago SEE Eyewear called me to ask if I wanted to come in 
and interview for a sales position at their Ardmore, PA location.
 Even though I had just started my job at Vault Brewing Company
and my internship/position with Mo Eyewear was starting to take shape, 
I decided to go check it out. 

**Spoiler Alert**
Did not take the job, could not make the commute/time commitment right now.

I have been eyeing their eyewear for a while and wanted too see the selection and quality unclose...
**Warning** Many selfies to come... 
{See my whole outfit from my interview HERE}


I was immediately drawn to the crystal collections, 
obviously. 
I love some sparkle in my specs! 

I tried on the SEE 6833 in "Tokyo Gold Teal Crystals"


I loved the clear pastels in their SEE Core Collection:

& loved this frosted pair:

I have been searching for a mustard pair of glasses, 
with no such luck yet. 
I liked these but not the clear color:

These were definitely closer to what I am looking for, but not perfect yet!

Also enjoyed these purple frames {SEE 9276}

These clear but rimmed multi-colored tortoise frames {SEE 7224}
were definitely a favorite from my visit:

They are so cute!

I loved the flat top shape of these red + tortoise frames: 

Absolutely loved these perforated frames: 

I was really interested in trying on these gold frames,
 they look so interesting on their social media, 
but I did not like the shape on. 
Too much metal, a little skinner would have been more flattering:

This pink top frame is so cute!
I love the shape of them too!

I loved this mix of matte and red:

I loved this shiny teal color:

Perhaps my favorites, and most ridiculous pairs I tried on were the SEE 4450,
I saw them on SEE's Instagram and fell in love with the mirror coated nylon finish!

I became immediately obsessed with the Ellen Ruth Accessory Series at SEE Eyewear
these designs are SO CUTE! 
I love this eyeglass case!

I have also recently fallen in love with these "Nude Silver" 
patterned round SEE 4448 beauties: 


& LOVE LOVE LOVE these SEE 8126:

The snake print, the orange tops, 
AH. It's love at first sight {love at first SEE?}

Since SEE Eyewear does partner with Groupon
the Ardmore location has a Groupon right now- $39 for $200 pair of glasses:

WHAT A GREAT DEAL!

Might have to take them up on it...

dress code :: a life in violation


A DRESS CODE?!
& not just a "no crop tops, no ripped jeans" kinda way,
 no color whatsoever.

Oh I'm sorry, that is not accurate,
 "occasional pops of red and blue"

I mean I barely looked the part for the interview,
let alone the actual job.

😑



 What I Wore: glasses- Kensie, lips- Mirabella "Posy", necklace- Anthropologie, top & blazer- Victoria Beckham x Target, pants- thrifted, flats- vintage {thrifted}




I mean...

I just want a job where I can BE MYSELF.
Is that so hard?!

I guess until then, I will just be hanging out with these cuddle bugs,
trying to figure out my damn life.

****POSITIVE THOUGHTS****
****POSITIVE THOUGHTS****
****POSITIVE THOUGHTS****

Why is my career/life so complicated?!

Career Week: Taxiiiiii!

{modified from: blainepta.com}

All this week I am sharing some recent outfits from my career hunting adventures,
I have been attending workshops, networking events, job fairs, trade shows, etc. etc.
putting together some of my favorite professional outfits.

Day 1: Taxiiiiii!

I like to think of this outfit as my "high end but for a price wayyy in the low end"



What I Wore: glasses- Warby Parker, lips- Rimmel Kate "08", necklace- Style Shop @ FIT, blouse- Equipment {via Marshalls}, blazer- Tahari {thrifted}, belt- Coach {gift from Zia}, pants- Anthropologie, flats- Kate Spade {via 6 PM}



I had lots of inspiration to take on these new challenges,
and I wanted to pass on the bits and pieces that lead to these changes!

I was inspired by the "offCAMERA" episode #43 with Olivia Wilde,
she talks about changing careers at 27, my age at the time of applying to FIT,
helped me to really consider my options.
Worth a listen

When I listened to Episode 4 of "I Was Just Saying That" podcast,
I really had my aha moment.
Wardrobe stylist Cristina Facundo,
talked about taking fashion classes while teaching in Brooklyn,
and now is a stylist in Texas, talk about inspiration!

I love the podcast "How I Built This", every episode is amazing,
I especially enjoyed the Warby Parker episode, obviously!
Awesome story, a must listen!


I loved this Ipsy Instagram and have been living by it:

Loved this horoscope, sooo accurate.

Also loved this quote from my fashion textbook,
a great reminder that even when work sucks, its all temporary,
I'm waiting for the next!

While applying for jobs this week,
I became curious about my brain and the battle I've always felt
between my creative side and my analytical side.

Naturally, I took an online test,
because that is what one does while trying to avoid doing work,
#amIright

Well turns out that I am EXACTLY 50/50,
that explains A LOT.
{if you are wondering my husband 63% left, 37% right}
My twitter bio says it all:

So I have to get a career that satisfies both sides of my brain
🙏

More evidence, thanks to the all knowing fortune cookie:

Even with all that inspiration,
I find myself listening to "Doubt Myself" by Sleeptalkre on repeat,
definitely how I feel when I am in this transitional unemployed period (yet again)
I needed this song.





Just gotta keep moving forward, and do some light spring break reading 📖:
