God fucking dammit. I've wanted frames like this ever since I was a little kid. I was never available to afford nice frames. I'd always get the basic "Insurance-covered" ones. But I was always looking for frames like these. I found a couple, but could never afford to customize them. Putting lenses into frames is frequently more expensive than buying frames+lenses from the same place.

The fact that these came back into fashion recently allowed me to actually be able to find the frame/lens combo that I really liked and was comparatively inexpensive. Last year I was able to buy my first pair of cat-eye glasses, the kind I've wanted since I was fucking 4 years old, and people have already ruined them.

God fucking dammit.

Don't let the matriarch or the patriarch keep you down. Wear what you want! Just be ready for odd glances from others
