Mine Eyes

I gave in. I had to. I'd resisted far too long for no reason other than what I guess is vanity.

The last straw landed softly on a recent weekend. I spent the better part of a Saturday curled up on the couch, a fire in the fireplace and college football on the TV. In my hands was a book I'd been meaning to read for months. Reading is fundamental, dontcha know.

So there I curled, reading. Or trying to.

I'm stubborn yes, but an eventual realist.
Now look at me.




It seems for vanity and middle age to peacefully co-exist, one must make concessions.

At least the book did not disappoint.
Five stars!

Suzanne,

You are going to find that some people will find the glasses to be sexy.

I'll bet Wendy does!

And happy birthday, belated, my friend!

Yup, Hubba-hubba likes me with glasses as well. It's that whole sexy librarian thing. Just put your hair up in a bun and you will be irresistible.

Love the glasses!

Yep - if I didn't have one really nearsighted eye, I'd be sportin' the reading glasses too, only not as gorgeously as you do.

yeah...librarians are sexy.

I have several pairs of these now, in assorted styles colors and locations.

I resisted too. Then, I gave in. Seeing is better than not every day.

Well done.

Middle Girl said...

Excellent look for you, absolutely hummy (hot & yummy):)

What may seem to you a concession to age will seem to the rest of the world an uptick in I.Q. Work it, girlfriend.

I so find the librarian look hot, babe. Now we need to tweak that topknot into a conservative bun. ;p

Claim they're a fashion accessory--now you can have the latest designer frames. Definitely boost your coolness ratio. ...Well, no, I'm not implying that your ratio is not what it should be...oh nevermind. I'd go out with you.

uBut what was the book?

Glasses give one a certain air of brainyness and mystery... I like them!

They look great on you.

My eyes are my life, youth and vigor, perimenopause and grumptitude, all at once. Ergo, the reading glasses ARE my vanity.

KMae said...

Very sophisticated.
And cool!

Trop said...

Nice. I think a woman in glasses is HOT.
