Do you have a signature frame?
Glasses have become one of the most important accessories in my life; can’t live without them and yet I do find them annoying.
Recently I have had a trying time with my glasses.
It’s not really their fault they disappear, never to be found, or they drop on hard surfaces and get scratched and become un-wearable. They seem to want to stay behind in taxis and fall out of handbags in airports.
For someone who looks after most things very diligently, the frame and I don’t seem to understand each other.
It goes without saying that I lose the reading glasses with the super-duper-more-expensive lens than the cheap and cheerful back up pair. Always.
I am always on the lookout for a fabulous frame.
A good pair of glasses can take years off the face (especially in photographs) a bad frame can do the opposite.
We all have days where a safety pin comes to the rescue, holds the glasses together and lets us see a lopsided world or we find an “old” pair because the “latest” are lost; in general it’s not our best look.
French and Italian women are masters of fabulous glasses. They may wear classic wardrobe pieces but European women know the “boost” value of a fashionable frame.
My current frame crush is tortoiseshell with grey hair; I love the combination of the darker frame with the light hair. Not to mention a solid red frame; a true statement.
I need a new pair; I think I might mean pairs, xv.
