I was 7 or 8... it was long before I was found to need glasses and that was 6th grade... my first pair were deep purple with rhinestones... you know, the kind that pointed up in the outer corners. I kept those frames for years and years. I wanted to show them to my girls, recently, but when I went looking for them, couldn't find them in my keepsake boxes. Can't believe I picked them out... ugggh!
