Through the looking glass

The only good thing about getting old and losing your vision are the nice glasses one can get out of this experience. Some people love designer handbags, or shoes, but I love designer glasses. They are my only solace when I realize that my vision is just getting weaker by the day.

Who would want to wear the exact same pair of shoes or belt every day? That’s why I think it’s nice to have options when it comes to glasses, especially since they are worn daily and around the face nonetheless.

Here are some of my favourite picks from my own collection. My vision is likely getting weaker, so I’ll be indulging in some new glasses as soon as I get a new eye examination done! I can’t wait. I really am very fond of glasses, as I feel they can change your mood and your attitude. I love wearing mine to change up the look of an outfit.

I love semi-rimless styles, as I find them the most flattering. They compliment by features, but don’t overwhelm my face.

I also like the thick rimmed glasses, but I do prefer them in lighter colours, like tortoise shell. I find black to be harsh around my face, but I couldn’t say no to these Marc Jacobs glasses. They are very nerdy-chic!

Finally, my wish list: I love the embellishments on the Dior and Dolce & Gabbana glasses. I like them both in lighter colours, browns or whites. I hope one of these pairs will be my next set of lovely glasses!
