I've had to wear glasses or contacts since I was in 6th grade... and based on my past (see below and my hopeless 13 year self) the choices available were anything but cute. But honestly between my glasses, clear braces, and telltale 90's bangs - the glasses were really the least of my problems. These glasses from Firmoo are so fabulous that I wear them during the hours of the day when people actually see me (and for less than $40 I should get a pair in every color). For anyone that wants a stylish pair of glasses where fashion meets function and quality, a virtual visit to Firmoo is a must.
PS, was middle school this rough for everyone else?

LOL at your latest post! Honey, I think the early-mid '90's were hard on a lot of us. :-/
Shopping around for a pair of glasses myself right now. How do you like the quality of those Firmoo frames?

Oh my! I feel your pain Heather! Glasses in the 1990s were terrible! I had the clip on sunglasses but tiny oval shapes which did my face no favors. Whoever was designing glasses in the 90s was not very talented :P
Love your glasses today! Great shape :)
Oh my gosh that photo is adorkable! haha I don't wear glasses, but I have a fake pair from Firmoo and like to wear them from time to time to pretend I'm someone else (weird, I know!) PS- love that scarf!
Girl, killing me with that middle school pic!! NO, you are not alone... what an awkward time then and it still is! I will say this much, you were adorable then and are absolutely adorable now! love that pic of you on the porch swing :)

I'm really into Firmoo- anything that lets me buy more than one pair of glasses a year because they aren't crazy expensive is alright by me! You look fantastic- in both pictures :)
Haha - aw your former middle school self is so cute!
I don't seen a dork in this post, just a lovely lady with some hip glasses!
Isn’t That Charming.
hahaha you are always cute! love firmoo, they know what's up!!!
Uhhhh yeah it was this rough, I looked exactly like ugly Betty in the 6th grade. I had those marooon glasses she had on, and also braces. And mine weren't clear, mine were the traditional metal ones, and my hair looked exactly like Betty's...dark frizz it was bad, so you can imagine my reaction when abc first debuted that show, I was convinced that they found my 6th grade yearbook with my photo in there. I mean come one the name bessie vs. Betty? I should get royalties! Lol
Oh btw....I had the brilliant idea of begging my mom for a spiral perm.....she tried to talk me out of it but nope had to have it,
I was the girl who had braces, glasses, and untamable hair! love the firmoo glasses! PS I have a giveaway happening right now! hope you'll enter SO Fresh and So Clean Giveaway
Those glasses look fabulous on you! I have terrible eyesight, but you'll only see me in my contacts. :)

I absolutely love that scarf! I'm in the same boat but at the age of gasp 26! I'm getting ready to get braces and I'm excited about fixing my teeth, but not so much about all the metal in my mouth. : /

You are so ADORABLE you mean :) I had no idea you wore contacts lol! And this pair of glasses is SO CUTE. LOVE :) I love my pair of Firmoo glasses and then I won a giftcard there, so now I have three pairs and love them all! Great quality and very stylish!
Oh man - you and I could have been twins in middle school! I was rocking the same kind of bangs and glasses back then! Oh the 90's!!!
You look fabulous in glasses now. I had Lasik a couple of years ago which was awesome, but I admit sometimes I miss wearing glasses, especially when I want to be kind of adorkable!
Oh and I love your scarf too.
Love the glasses! I've been wearing glasses since first grade and got contacts in sixth grade!
I love this dress, too!
Yes, middle school totally was that rough! I found out I needed glasses/contacts when I was in 8th grade, I had contacts for years but now I love my glasses. These photos are gorgeous!

You look lovely! I like the shoes btw, always hard to find a simple pair of black pumps.

I was SO terribly awkward in middle school. Ugh. I had Lasik a few years ago so I was able to throw my contacts away. You look adorable in glasses.

Yes those are fried zucchini in that food foto. They were toooo good. But I loved the cake type artichoke thingys more.
You look great in the frames these days. They completely erase the dork-factor.
You look beautiful Heather!!! And I'm not sure about everyone, but it was rough for me...I had huge teeth and frizzy hair and I just looked awkward!

Oh, we wore very similar frames at school! :) Only this version was the best my parents could get for me - the rest or should I say, previous glasses, were UGLY, big time ugly. Not that I really cared, though.
The Firmoo glasses look beautiful on you! Great shape.

I think all middle school pictures should be banned! Mine was horrible! I think you look sweet in yours - we definitely would have been friends. :) Loving your new glasses, though. They look great on you!

Oh girl - middle school was rough for everyone. I had rough elementary school years too - for my 4th grade class pics, I got a perm that was left in for too long and ended up with a poodle fro!
Your new frames look fabulous on you.
I think middle school photos are best kept in the bottom of the drawer and forgotten. No way it was an easy time for anyone.
Chic on the Cheap
Great choice of frames, especially lovely with your scarf! I love Firmoo! They have such a nice selection. /Madison :)
I am so thankful there aren't too many pictures of me in my glasses in grade school... or middle school. Remember Sally Jessie glasses?? Shudder.
First, love the title. Second, YES, that was me - giant tortoiseshell frames encompassing my face. I wonder if I have a pic somewhere that I can dig out for tbt...
Loving those glasses and thanks for sharing the photo with us!!! Gorgeous girl! Kori xoxo
Ok I'm seriously in love with your glasses! I had to get glasses in grade 3 which was a total bummer. And then I got braces and the whole nerdy package just came together lol. I loved your sweet picture; isn't it funny looking back at the person you used to be? I always feel like so much has changed and how strange it is to think that at that age I had no idea what my life would truly be like today.
xo jen
I didnt have the glasses problem but had this total tomboy look goingon and being flat chested then didnt help ;) I was so worried about myself.. I tell ya. guess it was hard on most of us!
You look super cute in those glasses.
You look beautiful! I love your scarf <3<3

Oh yes, we've ALL been there! (Love the sweater you're wearing, btw!) And those glasses are so cute. I've always wanted to order falsies, but figured that was maybe not the best idea. :)
i totally wish glasses would have been "cool" back when we were kids! i totally would have rocked them instead of contacts that i've been wearing since a kid!
i mean even j.crew's kids line carries a pair of faux glasses!
A simple dress and a great scarf is the perfect style combination! Glasses can be great accessories and can give a lot of personality: you chose a very chic model! You made me smile with your comments about teenage past...I think that's one of the most challenging times from a look/fashion perspective! Caterina
Awww I love my Firmoos! These are very cute on you doll!

Adorkable- what a cute word! I love this look; the slight slouch of the dress is really good; love the way you've accessorized it.
And yes, middle school was a painful time. I was all bad sun-in highlights and Gadzooks outfit, oh myyyy.

Not dorky at all! Such sweet specs.
Love the glasses! I too had to wear them growing up (since 4th grade) and would NOT wear them because there weren't any cute ones!

I had the whole braces, frizzy hair, thick glasses thing too. I find it so amusing that glasses are so in style now too, that I actually don't mind wearing them!
Chic and sophisticated! Love it!
Oh I looked amazingly geeky in middle school, I had big round glasses too ;) Love your new glasses!

i'm your newest blog and instagram follower! would love for you to follow my site http://myotherclosetiscouture.blogspot.com it was born earlier this week. i would also love to steal your scarf, and i would love to destroy my middle school yearbook photos haha. xo
Trust me, at that age I was pretty awkward. Still am, but I don't look so scary haha
I love the shape of your glasses. I need to find a pair more like that

Your middle school photo looks eerily like mine - although I think my hair was actually puffier, and my braces were definitely coloured :S I've had to wear glasses since fifth grade and haven't been able to wear contacts for almost two years, and I still can't get used to it - and least now there are lots of cute glasses out there, unlike when we were younger!
xox,

You know, those glasses you wore as a kid is actually considered cute now. Love your scarf
Love it all!

That grey dress is so pretty. And you look great in glasses. I've worn them for most of my life too and still struggle to find ones that fit properly.
I adore your amazing sense of style, very chic and relaxed. I also like your simple approach to fashion.
