These photos were taken the day after I got LASIK. I had to wear sunglasses all the time, even indoors. I had mega eye boogies from the drops I had to keep applying and because I couldn't rub my eyes. I was tired; the previous night's sleep was a bit weird since I took such a long nap that day (you take a nap after LASIK to let the eyes heal) and had to wear eye shields. My vision was great but still a bit hazy and the sunglasses didn't help. My follow-up appointment was at 8am and I didn't want to be a schlub, but I felt like wearing pajamas. This look is the next best thing.

Zella is one of my favorite brands for athleisure and activewear. The quality is stellar, they have plus sizes, the prices are reasonable, and the style is right up my alley. This is their "Enlighten Cardigan" and you can see in a few photos how there's snaps at the bottom so you can wear it as a wrap sweatshirt like this or open like a waterfall. It's thick and cozy, the finish refined enough for day wear.
And how fun that the collar is so big it can be pulled up and worn as a hood? I also love the thumb holes, extra warmth for a cold winter's day.

My gold Ray-Ban aviators are the least dark which helped navigating around on a grey winter day. I added gold jewelry to up the glam hoping the effect would be more diva and less random person in sunglasses indoors. I'll be sure to provide a full recap of my LASIK experience once I've had all my checkups, but so far so good!
