The note that went out to the friends before this 1930’s event happened (what I think was said): “Dear friends, I would like to have a picnic at the lake, ladies wear white and men wear striped shirts and white pants. See you there, Love Mabel”.

As you know (or maybe are just finding out), I wear glasses and I have since I was in Grade 4.

I really like wearing glasses because I think they suit me and it’s exciting that glasses today come in cool vintage styles which go perfect with my look.

It is because of being a glasses wearing gal that I wanted to do today’s ‘Vintage Photo Tuesday‘ post on “Women with Eyeglasses” from the 1920s-1960s. To simply showoff the beauty of wearing glasses (and not holding them like our lady friend in the first image below).

Lets begin the eyeglasses parade!
