Goggle Vision

Despite vowing not to spend any money on clothes before I go on holiday, my resolve was weakened yesterday when I finally found the bug eyed Chanel style glasses in H&M. I managed to snatch the last black pair in the shop, of which I was pretty, pretty, pleased about.

However, trying them on with my outfit today, I was reminded how difficult it is for me to pull of big sunglasses. My style has always been a bit on the scruffy, grungy side, but with the shades as well I fee like a bad Mary Kate wannabe, circa year 2006 (it could almost count as retro...)


The "OMG! Talk to my agent!" expression.

Coat: Charity Shop
Dress: Zara
Skirt:H&M
Scarf:Charity Shop
Shoes: Topshop
Tights:Socks Dreams

Immediately feel more me when I took them off.


The "boring ol' Miss Woo" expression

Maybe the glasses could be improved with a well-cut blazer and some skinny trousers to take it out of the dreaded boho territory. On the other hand, I could just wait until I'm in Taiwan and wear them in my hometown with not a care in the world… One week to go!

with these glasses you remind me a bit of Lily Allen!

Isa said...

noo! I love you with the glasses, it just gives you this glance of excentricity and a really chilly attitude.
I agree that some peoploe have to be careful not looking like a mk knock-off, I think eg I might have difficulties with the blonde hair and stuff but you really manage to make the look your own. seriously gorgeous.

Jessica said...

I just adore your sense of style. That long white shirt over the plaid skirt is awesome - you look fantastic.

NonchalantMod said...

i love the outfits and I wouldn't think you look like an MK wannabe.

I really like the layering!

Eli said...

It was the exact same problem I have with them. Theyre still sitting in my room untouched. I cant find a single way to want to wear them.

jeunedemoiselle said...

You look like a prettier Anna Wintour with those glasses on! So what did you like on the catwalks this season? ;-)

Grace said...

miss woo, i love your ensemble & you very much rock those sunglasses. the first couple pictures... man, i would be so intimidated (in a good way!).

WendyB said...

I think the glasses are cute.

poppy lee said...

I think they look great with the outfit! Too tight and tailored and it might all go a bit Victoria Beckham.

I reckon you'll feel more natural in them when the weather's a bit nicer anyway.

Nadine said...

Cute glasses - you pull of that look very well!

Anna Pope said...

I think you totally own those glasses, they look so good on you and not in an mk-style at all!

Also, I love your scarf, it's so cute! And I love how the red in it matches the red in your tights, lovely!

yulanda said...

I love the layering with the dress and the skirt. I bought the same skirt but ended up exchanging it for one in a similar style and different colour. I still wish I had the plaid one as well!

the iron chic said...

Don't even compare yourself to MK!
I am one inch away from writing an evil post about those twin devils!

Is that a woodpile?

lc said...

you can do it - i wear mine almost every day!

Sophie said...

I think your outfit is wonderful, and the glasses are so cute! (I think maybe the glasses might look better if you didn't have the coat on? I don't know why - just a thought), and yes, also, I'm definitely in love with your dress.

Ediot said...

so darn cute. beautiful dress!

Daphné said...

I love those kind of glasses and I love your outfit!The color of your tights is really nice as well.

Molly :] said...

Fashion Ivy said...

really love the shades

Camilla said...

Work those plaids girl ;)
Like the red tights!

The Clothes Horse said...

I love this look and the glasses are fab. They would look great with a more stream-lined look, but I think you can pull them off with anything.

Gloria said...

i'm Taiwanese as well! ;) love the scarf!

SOMETHING_PICASSO said...

the glasses do do something to a person's outfit/manner that is quite indescribable.

trust me though, you pull them off quite well!

Fashion Tidbits said...

they go quite well with you...tell us what you get up to in taiwan~!

fashionista said...

your style is great and inspiring. Very nice. I hope you´re not only wearing these outfits at home, but also at the street.
Greetings from Germany...

Susie Bubble said...

Love the 'Talk to my agent' expression!

Jen (MahaloFashion) said...

that outfit is amazing you remind me of mary-kate olsen especially with the sunglasses and the coat!

bronwyn said...

The glasses are very funky, I love the outfit too, fab coat - what a great find, and I need a pair of shoes like those.

addicted said...

adorable! love the mix of patterns!

miss_vogue said...

love the shades!

Wendy said...

I have those exact sunglasses from H&M. My friends make fun of me when I wear them but I still do.

Unrealized Fish said...

I love your sunglasses :-)

Alya said...

Your look is soo cute! The glasses look so cool on you! You should totally wear them.

And the outfit rocks.

Miss Woo said...

Thanks all for the comments! :) It made me laugh that those glasses make me look like both Lily Allen and Ann Wintour!

selinaoolala said...

ooooo i love the glasses! you just look fabulous, not snooty. but i know how you feel with sunglasses, if i wear heart shaped sunnies i feel so pretenious!

mommytherobot.blogspot.com said...

Ms Woo I think I love you. and now you are officially added to my list of luvs....

Jill said...

I don't think it looks MK wannabe. I have issues with buying sunglasses for myself because I think I might look stuck up or just like a poser, but I think yours look great.

Lorraine said...

Ha! what fun! I have the same zara dress and wore it yesterday, too!!!!!!!
^^

Unicorns Have Whiskers said...

I like those bug-eyes! I actually have a pair from the early nineties that I started wearing again last summer, my first sunglasses buy.. I don't associate this style with MK?? But if this tyle becomes overly trendy... eh. I really like how my thrift-shop found wayfarers look on me but if a certain style reaches the critical mass of popularity I start to feel uncomfortable with it. Is that snobbery?

Style Eyes said...

The glasses look great. I think they really finish the outfit off well. Love your blog!

Rowena said...

I'm loving the glasses with the coat and scarf combo - very 'Parisian nonchalance'...

Aisha said...

First time at your site and i'm already loving it. I'm so envy of everyone who has h&m in their country , those glasses are so cool, i'm sure you'll make them work ;)

By the way, i love your scarf!

Lia said...

i think you can pull them off!
