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.

Liz from the Vintage Inn Blog-1950s / Pinup / Rockabilly Style.

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!
