I was thinking after I'd left the opticians how much attitudes towards glasses have changed in the past year or two.
When I first needed glasses, aged 11 or 12, they were seriously uncool. I needed them to see the blackboard so I couldn't not wear them to school. At that age when you're starting to become self aware, it wasn't the best time for me to get glasses, a weight problem and braces. Oh dear!
However, if I was to be a 12 year old nowadays, I would be so cool in my geek glasses! Even models like Cara whatsaname and The Little Mix girls all wear them! I think if I was a pre-teen nowadays I could have a bit more confidence in the way I looked in my glasses, such a shame! But brilliant for kids now. Just because you wear glasses, it doesn't mean you're a geek, it means you can't see what is written in front of you! And now it means you have great style! Woo!!

I was the same way. I needed glasses when I was young. At my school, if you had glasses, you were picked on and bullied. So, I never wore them and my vision got worse. Glasses are seen as cooler now and I'm glad! Love these!

I got glasses at 15ish but despised wearing them! I'd pull them on to read the board and then take them off! I had grey/blue frames originally which probably weren't me! Now I have larger almost hipster-y glasses after my optician was like "geeky glasses really suit you!" - I think that's a backhanded compliment? Haha!
You look lovely in these glasses so I'll pass the same compliment on to you!! :)
Keep in touch!

Your new glasses look fab, sometimes I wouldn't mind needing glasses just so I could try out some geek frames!
