Can I just say how annoyed I am that these things are now synonymous with hipsters? I wear skinny jeans, porkpie or knit hats, and hornrims - and have done so since about, oh, 1992. I can't claim to be a proto-hipster or anything, since I am a mom type, but dammit, I refuse to give up my favorite accessories just…
