It has been several years since I have had an updated pair of glasses. I decided that this year I would let insurance cover the cost of glasses. Having never paid for my own pair I went into this experience as I would like to call it nervous and excited…unsure about what I wanted to do. I had a mindset of what the cost would be. I was thinking between 150-200 dollars, since I have to get the special thin lenses. I looked and looked at frames…there were some pretty ones and there were some ugly ones…there were some that looked cute but not on me. I just couldn’t decide which pair to get….the following underneath were three of the six or more I tried on.
So as you can see I had some decisions to make. So I did what any girl would do…take pictures of myself and sent them to a friend and asked which one? I liked the first but they didn’t seem to fit my personality not make my eyes light up. The second one,,,would have left me saying what was I thinking. The third I tried on several times, put them back and went back to them at least three times….So I chose..(drumroll) number three—I loved how they fit on my face and how my eyes were almost in the center and it didn’t really take up a whole lot of my face. I especially liked the inside…they were this really pretty bright blue color. It also had really nice earpiece design.
I then ordered my glasses and then after paying for them thought….”what was I thinking…” A few days later the optician called and said my glasses were ready. When I put them on for the first time everything looked weird…and I mean weird…wavy, jumbled, bright…..yeah strange feeling. My eyes not only had to adjust to a new prescription but also to glasses…I mean I have been constantly wearing contacts every day since 11th grade. I do have to say I love my glasses and have worn them a lot more than I thought I would. My students say I look “teacherly” in them. 
Oh and enjoy the last pics!
