What My Eyeglasses Really Say About Me (And Why I Love Them So Much)
We often think of eyeglasses as a necessity, a tool to sharpen our vision. But for me? They are, quite literally, a profound declaration of who I am, how I see the world, and even how I want the world to see me. They are absolutely, unequivocally, a piece of art on my face.
Beyond Vision: A Canvas of Art
When people choose eyewear, I know many ask themselves: Do I want my glasses to complement my look, or do I want them to be the statement? For me, the answer is always, loudly, the latter. I'm not interested in frames that recede or blend seamlessly. I want them to be the focal point, a deliberate and confident expression of my personality.
My glasses are a canvas for my creativity. They reflect my current mood, my evolving style, and my unapologetic attitude towards life. I'm not looking for something just to look good on my face – honestly, that's only one small factor in my selection process. What excites me is finding something unique, often big and bold, and always interesting in a way that requires a second glance. I want people to wonder about me, to lean in and try to capture the intricate details they might have missed initially. It's in those nuanced forms and unexpected lines and texture that the true artistry of the frame, and my personality, truly shine.
My Personal Revolution in Style
For much of my life, fashion felt largely inaccessible to me. Being heavy meant that many trends and styles simply weren't designed with my body in mind. I gravitated to the incredible power of accessories. Glasses, along with jewelry and makeup, became my gateway to self-expression. They were powerful tools that allowed me to participate in the world of style, to experiment without limitations, to feel confident, and to truly be seen for who I am.
They taught me a vital lesson: personal style isn't about conforming to norms or fitting into a prescribed mold. It's about celebrating every facet of who you are, with every curated detail you choose. Eyewear, for me, became a particularly profound extension of this philosophy.
What Do Your Eyeglasses Say About You?
If you're looking to make your eyewear truly your own, you could ask yourself some questions:
What is the boldest part of my personality that I want to amplify? (Intellectual curiosity, artistic flair, playful spirit or strong confidence)
Do I want my glasses to start conversations or offer subtly intrigue?
What feelings do I want my eyewear to evoke in others? (creativity, sophistication, warmth, mystery?!)
How do I use other accessories – my jewelry, a statement handbag or even my makeup – to express my unique point of view? Can my glasses join that conversation?
What colors, textures or materials interest me, even if they aren't "in" right now?
Am I drawn to clean, architectural lines that make a strong statement, or more fluid, organic shapes that hint at depth?
When I look in the mirror, what story do I want my eyewear to tell about me today?
Your glasses are so much more than just a way to see clearly; they are a powerful, everyday canvas. I invite you to let them speak volumes about the amazing person you are.
Ciao ciao, Stephanie
