Eyeglasses for the Kid in All of Us...


This post never got published with my other fashion eyeglass advice...

Let's be frank... there's a kid in all of us, even if we are eligible for Medicare!  We all want to look youthful and modern.  Save the heavy, dark-colored, retro eyeglasses for the non-seniors making a fashion statement!  Get rid of your oversized, heavy frames!  Donate them to charity...

Think about uplifting shapes and styles... hopefully your optician can give you some advice if you are at a loss of what to choose.  Or bring a younger friend to help.  Don't avoid colors... just stay away from the fluorescent ones like hot pink and lime green.  Coordinate tones with your hair color... nice gold and copper metals, dark reds and violets... 

And, I read somewhere that shinier frames add life to the face, especially for women ... Us girls have to stick together!

Dog Days of Summer I


I love the summer... the heat... the sun... the warmth... curled up in my porch chair!

Fashionista Eye Wear...

Show your fashion sense and put a little glitz in your style with more modern shaped lenses.  Circles, squares, hexagons, and go for large, colorful, chunky frames.   Express yourself!  These are my favorite glasses!!!  They're a taste of retro with an air of Cruella de Vil!  

Choose more 'you', more out-of-the-box colors - hot pink, royal blue, lime-green and red-violet.  or you could go one step further and get multi-colored frames like mine or go for flower-power patterns or animal prints and stripes.
