A girl in glasses

The list just goes on with comments for girls wearing glasses. "Oh she looks icky", "God she is damn studious but not a girlfriend type". Normally a girl without specs is chosen over a girl with specs for a marriage and thats how conventionally choices are made.
I always wondered why a simple girl wearing spectacles in a movie is moved to contact lenses the moment a more sexier and modern character has to be portrayed. Well people need to give a second thought,if they are of the opinion that girls look less hot and less approachable in specs.
Personally i feel it makes a woman with glasses stand out from the rest of the crowd. Hell with the traditional thought pattern , girls or woman whoever it is must stop undermining themselves for any choices they make. It's not up to the people but it is you who can make the change in yourself.Remember you are not here to please anyone's perception.
Talking about spectacles even if a girl stops wearing it, people will notice the deep dark circles or deep set eyes. Then what?.. Well, choose to flaunt your glasses whenever and wherever you feel like if you are not comfortable with high maintenance contact lenses.Gone are the days when glasses were considered to be a bad thing.Nowadays many types of glasses are available in market, according to the look you want to be(reserved, studious, brainy etc).
Believe in yourself and choices you make in life.
Loved reading this! I actually just recently wrote a blog post on my new specs haha. People wear glasses for style now though, more than just because of high eye grades. There's lots of styles to choose from now and it's often a fashion statement. But truly, when I was younger, I resonated with that sentiment that girls who wore glasses were perceived to be more serious with life and aren't all that fun compared to the ones who don't. But then as I grew older, it doesn't really matter. We can be anything we want to be, with glasses or without. :) Thanks for sharing!
