Warby-Parker

 oh man i have been SOOO excited! after my recent visit to my eye doc i confirmed that my glasses prescription had changed and i needed new glasses. oh bummer. since i can't wear contacts i get extremely jazzed about choosing glasses...and this time i wasn't going to the mall. i had bigger plans--grander more altruistic plans...enter warby-parker

 i visited their website and picked out five frames and they shipped them to me free of charge. FREE!! so already i've saved on gas $ from not having to drive to the mall. and then when i opened the box i was giddy...because awesome frames (see above) were inside!

 and then i had five days to try them on...and not to give it away, but the ones above are the winners (but don't tell anybody)--officially they are the langston in whiskey tortoise matte

 i was switching them fast and furious...i wanted lightweight, tortoise shell, square, and sassy...

 these below were almost the winners...i decided against the thicker sides (too similar to an older pair i've worn...)

 and the ones below were almost identical to my glasses from ten years ago--which i LOVED! but i wanted something different this time...

 here they are, sitting in the box, begging to be tried on...

 oh i'm excited all right!!

 so now i've lovingly repacked all the frames and i wll be shipping them back (again, FREE) to warby-parker tomorrow and then i'll be ordering my new glasses!

thanks warby-parker! and the best part is (besides the $95 price-tag, which includes everything): they donate a pair of glasses to someone in need for every pair they sell!! what's not to love?? coming soon: lots of pix of me in my new glasses :)
