When I look at old pictures of anyone (but especially myself), the first and most embarrassing thing I notice are the glasses. Who is watching this person try on these glasses, I think, and giving them permission to appear in public?
When I look at pictures of my siblings in the 80s and 90s, their glasses are huge and terrible by today's standards, yet they elected to continue wearing them as their face was immortalized on film. This means at some point those glasses were considered attractive.
The purpose of this post is to give Future Me easy access to Current Me's glasses. Laugh all you want, Future Me, but believe it or not, these glasses were actually kind of the norm in 2012. And people actually told me I looked good in them. I know, right?
I think you look GREAT in your glasses!
ReplyDeleteI had similar glasses in middle school. No photo of me during that time is allowed to be displayed - I would rather burn them but my mom says something about being happy to have them later on in life. I'm still waiting for that moment...
aw thanks!
DeleteYou should definitely embrace your old pictures. I love showing people my middle school pictures, I think they're hilarious! Did you see that picture Jenni @ story of my life posted of herself? Yours can't possibly be as bad as hers!
It's true. You look adorable.
ReplyDeleteI hope you blog for the next 30 years so we can look back on this post.
Thank you! And -- can you imagine what blogs will be like in 30 years (if they're still around)? I'm thinking I'll be able to read a food blog and get the food delivered to me through the screen.
DeleteI think those glasses are super cute that you're wearing!!
ReplyDeleteI am one of those people who had a nasty set of glasses in grade 6... ohhhhh wow!
