four eyes

Anyone who knows me knows that I'm a total dork... like get-nervous-around-people-and-rather-stay-at-home dork. Anyone who's been to my house on a Saturday morning also knows I desperately need new glasses - they are cracked, scraped, nosepiece-less and just plain old.

Anyway, my point is I've been longing for some total dork glasses and I think I'm going to get some. AND rock them with awesome lipstick.

Some inspiration....

Another reason I need glasses: I was sewing the other weekend and the needle got caught and broke in half... it flew at me and barely missed my eye. Scary. I have yet to replace the needle and I'm a little nervous to sew without glasses on!

Speaking of glasses, have you seen this site? It's a great place to score cheap glasses. My brother in law has purchased a pair from them and the quality is actually not too bad!

    I have 2 pairs of glasses from that site... and I have mixed reviews. My glasses took a month to arrive and that is pretty much their turn around time. Don't order from them if you NEED your glasses right away.

    If you do decide to order from them, find out your PD (Pupillary Distance) from your Optometrist. It wasn't included on my prescription, so I followed the directions on the website to measure it myself. I suspect that I did it incorrectly, because the glasses are just "off". They give me horrible headaches and my peripheral vision is terribly skewed when I'm not staring directly ahead. It was pretty much a waste of my money and I'm terribly sad about that because the frames are so adorable!

    I have quite a collection, including some 'cat" eye glasses. I love dorky glasses. I always admired YSL for his signature black frames.

    I have ordered 5 different pairs of glasses from that site and have not yet been disappointed! (And at approx. $20 a pair, you can afford to get multiples for the price that you would pay for one pair at a regular place!)
