If you didn't know already, I am the biggest Goonie Fan EVER! With news this week that there IS going to be a Goonies 2 movie I sported my new tshirt with Goonie Pride! I always have a Goonie tshirt in my wardrobe but my last one died a few months ago and I got this one last month from HMV to fill the space again. I wore this cardi in my last post and knew I would get lots of wear out of a red cardi! The skirt is from ASOS curve which I blogged about HERE a while back.

The glasses are new from Etsy store VintageEyeGlassesCat in Australia. I actually bought another pair with this pair and got them reglazed with prescription last week so have been wearing the crap out of them all week. They are Vintage new old stock so have never been worn. I loved the almost hologram like stripes to the front and corner detailing. Check out the VintageEyeGlassesCat Etsy store for some amazing frames at great prices. Wonderful customer service and they were delivered to me in a week! I think Superman must have brought them to me.

I have been wearing Glasses since I was 11 years old and found myself in the middle of math class asking to borrow my friends glasses so I could read the problems off the blackboard. Turning into a teen is hard enough without being fat and having to wear glasses. As you can imagine I was not one of the cool kids. I was bullied at times but had a core group of friends that got me through the crappy times.

I remember getting my first pair of glasses and feeling happy that I had picked a nice frame and was happy to wear them. Plus I could see!!!! It was not long after I got them when a great aunt came to visit and and I had not seen her in a few years. We were not close. The first words out of her mouth upon seeing me were " You know boys don't make passes at girls who wear glasses!" I remember thinking what? Is this true? Will I forever be alone? Obviously we all know this is complete rubbish! Although at the time it had me worried and its stupid off the cuff comments like this that can crush childrens spirit. Be mindful of what you say.
Not long after this The Spice Girls came on the scene and were pro glasses wearers! Which helped me and many other I am sure.

All of the glasses below are Vintage but NOS. Meaning New Old Stock. I have purchased mainly from Dead Men's Spex on ebay and Etsy. You can buy vintage frames from many places and if you shop around online you can get prescription lenses fitted for as little as £15 including postage. If you go to a optician on the high street you can be quoted up to £50 just for lenses! Can you say RIP OFF!
I also give my Glasses names!

Marilyn

Batman

Edna

Madmen

Not sure what names I will give these ones! Maybe Dr & Catwoman.
