In Love With A View
Due to some weird life changes (marriage + Steve being laid off from his job) means that I get dental and vision insurance coverage for the month of August and I didn't want to not use it. So I immediately made appointments everywhere to stock up on contacts and tooth polishing.
My prescription didn't change at all, which is great. But even though I could still see just fine from my old glasses, the metal paint had started to chip from the ear pieces which were now rubbing a hole in the top of my ear.
Since insurance will only pay for contacts OR glasses, not both, I decided to try one of those super-cheap online frames place.
I selected a pair that was very similar to my current pair.


And I selected a frame that was nothing like my current pair.


The prescription feels just as good, and the frames just as sturdy, as a $300 pair from my optometrist - by which I mean I expect them to last until I sit on them.
I am really happy with both of them, even more so since they cost me $30.
For the pair.
Including shipping.
TO ALASKA.
Everything that has been going good today I have attributed to my sexy new plastic glasses.
Dinner was great? It's the glasses. Found a great parking spot at work? These glasses are magical.
Random construction worker flirting with me? Well, that was probably the leggy dress. But also the glasses.
I am totally tempted to start collecting glasses like I collect shoes: a different pair for each outfit. The possibilities are unlimited and make me incredibly giddy.
