Oh, the Stigma of an Astigmatism. . .
Miss Sis, you always look amazing! Love the last shot. Did Gordon take that one? I don't like the way I look in wire frame glasses- they make me look very grannyish. But I was looking through a 1944 Harpers Bazaar last night and I saw an ad for cat eye shaped glasses that looked like...- Lauren

Some of the gals say the pattern runs a...- Lauren

Don't want to be (seen as) a wannabe!
Very true, BoPeep. I'd like to ditto about not letting the folks get you down. If they go out of their way to be nasty they're probably really unhappy with themselves and it's not a reflection on you. This fashion thing is supposed to be fun, after all. Personally I don't care how people...- Lauren

Don't want to be (seen as) a wannabe!
This thread is great! I admit I had a bit of a chuckle at examples, too ;) There's so much good advice on here I don't really have anything to add that hasn't been said before. Getting back to the source is very crucial. The internet is great for a lot of things, but it's important to...- Lauren

Do you dress down to compensate?
I dress down. Most days it pants or jeans. In the spring and summer I'll wear dresses and skirts, but I'm more comfy in sportswear [huh]- Lauren

High Waisted Pants & Jeans!
I haven't seen any others made up yet. You could lengthen them to long pants- they would be HUGE around the leg- kind of like early beach pajamas. I'd also like to see if anyone else made them up :)- Lauren
