I love glasses. I wanted glasses long before I needed them, and finding out 5 years ago that I actually needed them was super exciting. Contacts dry my eyes out miserably; I wear glasses everyday, and I want some new ones so I can switch them out occasionally. I’ve been hearing more and more about “purchasing with purpose” and spending money with companies that are making a difference. Warby Parker is a company that gives away one pair of glasses to someone in need for every pair purchased; as if this isn’t reason enough to buy my next pair of specs from Warby Parker, they will also send you up to 5 pairs of glasses to try on in your home (free!) for up to 5 days. Um, yes please!!
I was being dumb and impatient, so I requested my 5 try-on pairs of glasses for the week when I was going to be in San Diego (can we talk about how amazing that city is?!) for work for 2 days. 2 of my 5 try-on days. Blah. When I got home from my trip, I wore the glasses around the house and obsessed for the days I had left. I also did a super awkward photo shoot with the glasses, courtesy of my husband. Because you guys needed to be able to see the glasses and therefore my face, I didn’t know whether to actually stare straight into the camera or look casually to the side. Enjoy the awkwardness. I’m still trying to decide which pair I should order.
These are the Wiloughby–I love the shape, but I think they may be a bit too heavy for my face.
Bensen–also super cute, but maybe a little too big for me?
Reynold–I think these are too wide for my face.
Baxter–these are cute, but they’re dark blue and I’m not sure how I feel about that.
Pierce–the winners?!
