1. "Hipster" Black-rimmed Fashion Nerd glasses - $13
I tried them on for the hell of it because it looked good on the girl in the poster (don't judge me, she looked super cute) and had to do a double-take of myself. I justified the purchase by saying I could always try them on with different outfits on at home and if I didn't like it, I'd take them back (I already knew I was keeping those bad boys). The next day, I put hair up in a bun, gave myself some rosy pink cheeks, and a light pink lip gloss (though it would work nicely with either a ruby red or shimmery plum lip color) and wahlah! I got lots of looks and compliments from random strangers. And of course my sisters and fiance had something to say about them (if it's a conversation starter, it's typically worth the fashion risk, as long as YOU like it).
2. Merona Kamischel Suede Lug sole boots in Grey – $45
I’m 5’1, usually wear a size 6 shoe, with thick calves – i don’t fit in most boots actually but these….holy crap they zipped up, had some give from the material, but they were already constructed so well that I didn’t even have to cry as I tried to zip them up. (I later tried pairing them with some bootcut jeans; tucking them in was too much to ask, but it was worth a shot). They don't look "cowboy-ish" but instead polished, sleek and casual. I pair them with a boyfriends sweater and some leggings and damn it works!! I love, love, love these boots and trust me when I say I vowed that I could never wear round-toed, flat boots because it would make me look too squat. Well, not this time!!
Anybody know of any other brands that make boots for us thick-calved women??
