Would you wear reading glasses as a fashion statement?

by Carly Jacobs
Honestly? I’m seriously considering it. Especially after the Che event that I attended about a month ago. I just found these photos hidden on my memory card and thought I’d share them. There’s something so quaint about cupcakes and cats-eye glasses right? Read the rest!

Leave today in the past, for there is always tomorrow.

by Carly Jacobs
