I was 7 years old when I came home from school and begged my mother to take me to the optometrist. My classmate came to school rocking some cool new glasses and all I could think about all day long was why didn't I have a pair??? I needed them. I wanted them. I somehow convinced my mom that I was having trouble seeing things that were far away. Like, really far away. She gave me a major side-eye and said, "Bernadette, nothing is wrong with your vision! We may need to schedule an appointment with a psychiatrist, though." Whatever. I didn't care if she or anyone else thought I was crazy. All I knew was that I NEEDED those glasses to complete my wardrobe and help me command the respect that I deserved on that playground!
Clearly, my obsession with specs began at a very young age. I never understood people who didn't embrace their blindness. You do understand that you have an advantage on the regular folks who actually can see, right? You have the ability to switch up your look entirely. You are automatically treated differently. All because of those little glass spectacles resting on your nose. Glasses can take your look to a whole other level with very little effort. They are one of my favorite ways to accessorize any outfit.
I was recently introduced to Warby Parker. I had seen these specs in a few ads and really took a liking to them. I knew they were based out of NY, (of course), but I never knew of the awesomeness that is their website! You can literally select up to 5, yes F-I-V-E, frames to try on at home before making your final purchase! I was like, hold up. Wait a minute. Let me put some boom in it.
Needless to say, I selected my 5 frames and began the "Warby Home Try On" process. Super easy. Super fun. Super EVERYTHING. The only problem now is choosing one pair to keep. Ok, maybe two ;)
Gracias #Alarico ;)
