So after reading this blog post about a little girl named Pumpkin needing glasses, I decided to join in the effort because …well, I’m a girl with glasses! 
(Back to the rally call…) Pumpkin is a confident stylish little girl (to see her awesome style go here) that is afraid of being the only girl with glasses in her kindergarten class. So her awesome blogger mom, Carrie, decided to put out a rally call for all glasses-wearing girls to join in the support.
So this is me in my glasses-wearing beauty (…i guess). 
I have worn glasses since I was in first grade (or maybe it was second grade). So, it’s been a long time and my prescription is pretty bad. At first I was a cute little girl with glasses. Then an awkward teen (we won’t share those pictures). After I got over my fear of touching my eyeballs, I finished out high school in hard contacts. They were not the greatest. If I blinked the wrong way, my contact would pop out of my eye and I’d do the whole stereotypical “Nobody move! I lost a contact!” scene. Sometime in college, I was able to switch to soft contact lenses and they have been my friends ever since. All the while though, I wear my thick glasses in my off hours.
Most people never see me in them but the last two weeks I have been banned from contacts as I get over this eye/sinus infection thing. So I’ve been sporting them daily and trying to rock them. What do you think? Maybe next time I’ll actually be brave enough to get that funky pair that I really loved…
Do you wear glasses? Do you want to help Pumpkin and all future girls with glasses? Go to the “Girl with Glasses” post at This Mama Makes Stuff and link your picture or blog post of you wearing glasses. Girls with glasses rock!!!
