Ever since I can remember I've struggled with my vision. I'd become accustomed to not being able to see afar, accepting the fact that I couldn't fully make out what my teachers wrote on the board in class. I had even developed the habit of holding one eye open with my hand to minimize the strain of watching TV. After watching me suffer from daily headaches due to constant eye strain, my then-boyfriend, now husband, booked an eye examine for me. So finally, in my mid twenties, I was given the gift of clear vision eliminating the strain & pain. Why it actually took me so long to commit to an eye examine and get suited up with glasses is a whole 'nother story.
First pair of glasses w/ my husband.
At first I was afraid I would look silly in glasses. But we took our time and found a pair that looked really good on me. My guy wears glasses too, so we looked quite fitting together both in our specs. Fast forwarding a decade, corrective lenses have not only been a life-saver but they're a staple accessory; heck my glasses have become iconic to my brand with my business logo featuring my signature cat-eyed glasses. I found those signature cat-eyed glasses from GlassesShop.com a few years back, and they've garnered so many compliments I've lost count.
Out of curiosity, I paid Glasses Shop another visit earlier this year. They were running a BOGO Free special so I thought, "oh let's see what they've got." And then I sort of went crazy (see pictures below). Let me just say I really like this particular company for several reasons. One: they have wonderful customer service. Two: they offer the virtual try-on feature where you simply download an image of your face to see if the style works for you. Three: their prices won't break the bank and they often have their BOGO Free sale or a first-frames-free deal. Below are my Glasses Shop finds. I've added the links to purchase the same styles. If you use code: INVIFJ4E7SVHQ at checkout you'll SAVE 50% off frames on your first order. I believe my large black cat-eyes (1.) are no longer available which is truly unfortunate as they are SPECtacular.
The merchandiser in me loves to have all my glasses on display and it's fun choosing which pair to wear.
Get the Look:
* Stool (I painted the legs a softer gold color).
* Tiered Makeup Stand (DIY - Soon) / (Purchase - Soon)
* Vanity Mirror (wall mirror was a thrifty score).
