I have recently gone back to wearing glasses. I was having some problems with my eyes and I figured this was a great time to give my eyes a break from my contacts. I picked out some new frames- the glasses I was wearing mostly at night, I've had those for over 4 years! I was really excited to pick out my new glasses and it got me thinking- I've been wearing glasses since I was 4 years old ( 24 years!!!) and I remember how excited I used to get when I got to pick out new glasses.
I found some old photos of me in glasses over the years. My taste in glasses has certainly changed over the years and I laugh at some of my choices I made.
((( Are you loving my fanny pack and humongous bow in my hair? and yes my hair was blondish brown back in college))
As you can see, I went from many different styles and sometimes colors. I never really
loved glasses growing up but I knew I had to have them to see. As I have gotten older, I have truly appreciated glasses for less of something I had to wear and more for a fashion accessory.
I spent almost a year trying to find the perfect pair of glasses . Here are two of the runners up.
I liked both of these, but I wasn't in
LOVE with them. I loved the color in the top pair but I wasn't sold yet.The bottom pair, I liked the shape but I thought were too dark and a little too big for me.
I finally found the perfect pair that fit me perfectly in the perfect color. I wanted to get away from the solid black frames and go more towards tortoise shell blend. I am so happy to finally find something I feel that is grown up and fashionable.
These are Kate Spade and I just loved the surprise details in these glasses. From the teal on the inside on the arms; the fun colored case and the quote "boys make passes at girls in glasses" hidden on the inside of the arm, makes this such a fun pair!
An even more exciting I found a pair of sunglasses that I liked (actually LOVED) and wanted to wear. Since my prescription is so high and I tend to like BIGGER sunglasses, it was a challenge to find something that would not show the frames out of the sides- BUT i found the perfect pair for me.
These are Tiffany's sunglasses- the arms are the signature Tiffany blue
and on the side there is a key. Such small details but they make all
the difference. Even the box was a signature Tiffany's box which made them even more special!
I felt instantly comfortable in these and I saw myself wearing these ALOT! Feeling comfortable when you wear something makes all the difference. It doesn't matter if its clothing, shoes, accessories- if you are not comfortable in it, don't wear it . These glasses don't remind me of when I was a kid, I am actually excited to wear these glasses.
So my journey to find new glasses (and sunglasses) was successful and I hope I won't have to go looking for new glasses for a while!
Do you wear glasses?
