Through My Glasses

HER

Glasses are such a fashion statement these days.  Everyone seems to love accessorizing with different frames from black to tortoiseshell. 

I have worn glasses for a long time now.  I mean long.  My parents were told I needed glasses when I was in Preschool.  At that age I wasn't really sure about the glasses idea.  I never knew that I couldn't see, I just thought that was normal.  How was I supposed to know?  I remember picking out my first pair, little clear blue frames.  I still have them, actually to tell you the truth I still have every pair of glasses I have ever owned.  

After years and years of glasses, years of when they were cool and everyone wanted them to years where they were not that cool, I did make the change over to contacts.  This was a big deal for me.  I was a junior in high school.  But I couldn't leave glasses behind completely.  I still had them to switch between.

I was the child that had two pairs of glasses when I was older.  One black frame and one tortoiseshell.  You need options for outfits, right?

With glasses being so popular right now, it has brought back my love for frames.  I just recently got new ones because well, I saw them and had to have them.

     

I just fell in love with these!

It still amazes me that people can see clearly without any help.  How do they do it?  I couldn't imagine my life without glasses.  I believe they are a part of me and really help to make me who I am.  They have been with me forever and I don't think I would be the same if I didn't have the options of glasses or contacts in the morning.

Are you a fan of glasses?  Do you wear them or wish you could?
