Wearing plain lens eyeglasses as accessories?

These are on their way - a black plaid / tartan pair with touches of red and white - just in time to enjoy wearing them with color-blocked outfits in those colors or along with plaid tights and other plaid pieces this Autumn/Winter and who knows, all next year along with burgundy, which will be all the rage according to Paris couture designers!

So, have you ever fancied Plain lens eyeglasses as fashion accessories?

I never thought I would resort to wearing plain lens - meaning no practical purpose such as magnification or vision correction - eyeglasses myself. But lately, I've been seeing more and more people around Atlanta sporting glasses that suspiciously look like those plain lens glasses being sold online...

Even Helena Bonham Carter might be a little bit guilty of doing the same - donning specs for the sake of looking sexy in a geekish sort of way...
