New Year, New Glasses

Happy super belated new years everyone!  Sorry it’s been a while since my last post but I have been struggling with keeping myself motivated since the holidays.  I planned to get caught up on some reading and blogging but I pretty much just bummed around my parents house until after Christmas.  Just before new years I realized that i wanted to get new glasses and frantically braved the end of year crowds to decide which frames I wanted.

I’ve worn glasses since elementary school but never really saw them as a fashion piece.  In high school I finally convinced my parents to let me get contacts and I have worn them most days since then.  I really only wear glasses before bed and on the few days were my eyes are too irritated for contacts.  In fact, I had put such a low priority on glasses that it had been over 5 years since my last pair. 

However, this year I was really feeling a change.  With all the fashionable frames out there, I really wanted to embrace glasses and incorporate them more into my everyday style.  i decided to go to LenseCrafters and try out a few pairs.  The sales associate even took a few pictures of me in different frames so i could get a better idea of which ones worked for me.  Since I have such a narrow face it was hard to find a pair that didn’t overpower my face.  I ended up getting the Ray Ban RX5286 and it was love at first sight.  I got them in the tortoise shell and i think they suit my blue green eyes really well. 

I’m absolutely in love with the classic look they give and I can’t wait to pair them with a bold lip and a classy updo at work.  It’s amazing how a new pair of frames can spark such excitement and a burst of creativity but these babies are really bringing out post ideas that I can’t wait to put out in the upcoming months. 

Do you wear glasses?  If so, how do you like to style your frames?
