Geek Chic?!

I am not too sure about this “geeky chic” trend. Suddenly everyone is wearing oversized glasses ala 70’s style. Are they super cool or just a silly gimmick where all that is missing is the fake nose and moustache? I tried a pair out about a year ago. Just as an experimental fashion statement because some part of me thought they looked really nice. Well the problem was that I was wearing them before they got trendy and everyone kept asking me if I had been playing dress up and did not get my genius fashion statement at all. Embarrassed I said I had been playing dress up -I just didn’t think there was any point explaining myself to a mass of fashion virgins. Anyways I have never worn my snazzy specs again. Then all of a sudden they are in fashion and everyone is wearing them! I am torn on this one.... I might start wearing them again. Will people get my absolute stylishness this time around?
