Mirror, Mirror

Unfortunately, there is a double meaning behind the title of my post today. Originally, the title was going to be about my new sunglasses. Lately, I have caught the mirrored sunglasses bug after seeing them on bloggers and in stores over the last few months or so. I was considering investing in some Illvesta mirrored sunglasses, but when I saw these for a little over $10 from the J. Crew Factory, I thought I would pocket the extra $200 for something else. Truth be told, these are actually men's sunglasses, but they are actually quite small—either that or I have a large head. It's probably both!

The other more unfortunate side of my title comes from the fact that the day I "debuted" these new glasses was also the day that someone hit the mirror of my parked car in the parking lot of Target. I am always careful to park away from other cars and walk; it's good for the car and good for me, but today it didn't pay off and I found my mirror dangling off the side of the car. Of course, no note was left, so now that $200 I saved on my glasses is going toward the $400 cost to buy and install a new mirror. In the words of Full House's Michelle Tanner, "How Rude!"

    I'm sorry to hear about your car Katie, that's the worst! On the plus side, those sunglasses look like they could be $200 so you got a killer deal. Looking lovely as always! XO -Kim

      Yes, I totally feel like this outfit is straight from a j.crew or j.crew factory ad, which in a way, I guess it is! Thanks for your kind words and sentiments about my car.

    Car issues always suck (I did that to my own mirror once, STUPID trashcan!)
    I love your pattern mixing.

      Oh no! Sorry to hear about the trash can! I hate having to spend money getting the car fixed, it always seems to be more than you think.

    Oh wow that wasn't nice. I had that same thing happen to me in college and of course most of my part time job paycheck went towards getting another one then. I love your new sunnies and top though. Cute look and thank you for linking up to
