Revenge of the Nerd Glasses

Ready for another fashion post?  I've already posted about my disappointing airline miles turned magazine subscription experience, but a current issue of Glamour did have a great picture of Revenge's Emily VanCamp sporting a great pair of geek chic glasses.  Need a refresher on geek chic?  Check out this post:  Geek Chic Glasses.  The photo made me stop and admire just how much glasses are a part of fashion right now.  And for the first time, it's not just sunglasses that are fashionable, but actually everyday wear ophthalmic frames.  Heck, I have patients getting plano (zero power) glasses just to have frames for style.  That scenario is not very often, but any time this happens is more than historically.  Ophthalmic frames are a legitimate fashion accessory, so let's all stop and bask in the glasses glory.

Robert Marc 251 (above) and 252 (below).  I own 252 in  "jungle" green, and the fit is great!  My face is a difficult shape for glasses, so I was really pleased with  the versatility of this frame.

frame below is a great sun option! The tortoise print jumps off the page, but remember, when seen against your skin, the colors are going to be much more muted than they look in photographs or even on display in an optical.  That's just one more reason it is better to try glasses on before investing.
