Dream Glasses!


On Saturday I went to my parent's house for dinner, and while we were there I went through the last of my stuff that was left in my room when I moved out. I found lots of hilarious notes from highschool, my year books, and some other random stuff. While going through my desk I found these glasses cases and was like "What the heck, what are these..."
Woah! Look at these awesome glasses! Then I remembered. Travis and I hadn't been dating that long, but he knew I liked vintage stuff. He had gone to visit his Grandma Betty and brought me back some vintage clothes and these from her attic! They belonged to his great grandmother! I loved them, but didn't wear glasses at the time (I got glasses when I was 7, so as soon as I could get contacts I swore off glasses forever) so I tucked them away. I'm so happy to find them now! 
I have been wishing I could find some cute vintage glasses to put my prescription in. And you know me, I didn't want to pay more than a few dollars for them. I was going to take pictures of myself in both pairs so you could help me pick, but the prescription in there is SO strong! It hurts to put them on!
I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with the top ones. They have a pretty flower design on the sides. I can't wait until I can wear them! Travis is going to take them to wear he got his old military glasses done. 
Maybe now I'll start looking for vintage clothes. Can you believe I only have one vintage dress? I just usually don't look because I feel like I'll never find anything to fit. But I've been following quite a few vintage fashion blogs and I think I'm going to give it a go.

  9. I have been thinking about getting vintage clothes too. I just really hate the styles of dresses that are modern compared to back then. I don't have anything vintage because I always get discouraged when I look for vintage stuff in goodwill. All of the horrible clothing you have to get through to find anything is horrible, and the smell- oh god.

  11. Both pairs are so cute! I love when I find treasures I-didn't-know-I-already-had. Where are going to get your glasses done? I have a pair I would love to get lenses for but everywhere I go tries to convince me to buy their frames, booooo....

    1. See is hillsboro village will do it! they are a little expensive (travis THINKS it was around 180 for lenses for his, with the anti glare and everything) but they were really nice about it. i might shop around a little, or i might just go there.

  13. Hehe I always "shop" in my old room at home too and bring a few extra special things back with me to Chicago. Rad glasses! I'm definitely a fan of the cat eye and it's so much cheaper/awesome to have a vintage frame.

    Cheers for vintage clothing too, I was afraid at first of not being able to find clothing in my size either but since you go to so many sales/thrifts you shouldn't have a problem. '50s dresses can be tough but 70s/80s clothing is easy to find in a range of sizes.
