Specs: Buddy Holly

I'm not the type to mind following a trend. I could make myself a shirt that says bandwagon jumper and wear it proudly. I've noticed a bunch of celebs are starting to wear those Buddy Holly glasses and I'm loving it! I have a tendency to embrace the nerdy geekish look to big poppa's dissatisfaction. Trying to look pretty just isn't important to me anymore. So I've been mulling it over for the past few months on whether I should purchase a pair of these chunky wayfarer styled specs. I really wanted them but I tried on a men's version at urbn and it looked completely whack on me. Like fobbish to the power of a hundred. But then I saw that urbn had a women's version that was slightly more feminine than the men's version. I decided last month that I would not buy it. But today, out of nowhere, I made the transaction. I'm so impulsive sometimes. Not good. To convince myself that I made the right decision, I looked at these pics of these celebs sporting the specs. Look how awesome they look! Of course, I'm aware that I won't be able to re-create that effect.
