Trend watchers may have noticed that wearing eyeglasses is fashionable again.

Some of the celeb moms we’ve regularly featured here like Reese Witherspoon, Courtney Cox and Zoe Saldana have been spotted out and about and on red carpets in eyeglasses. Mom-to-be Zoe Deschanel looked smart and chic in a pair of dark-rimmed glasses recently as well.

I recently discovered that my perfect 20/20 eyesight is not so perfect anymore. I blame old age. Thus, I had to get an eyeglasses prescription, so it was awesome to learn that they are trending. Perfect! I am accidentally in style! Ha!
And this trend is a perfect way for those who want to stay hip and current while pregnant to do so. There is a perfect pair for everyone.
