For 25 years I had absolutely perfect vision, but then I suppose way too much up-close computer and illustration work finally took its toll. Earlier this year, for the first time in my life, I had to buy glasses. As you can imagine, I didn't want plain normal frames, lol. I've tested out a few pair over the last several months and so far these are definitely my favorites! I love the color SO much! And you know, they help me to see better, so that's a plus ;)

These particular frames are from firmoo. Like coastal, they have a first-pair-free offer, but honestly their prices are really affordable even if you're going back for seconds (which I already did). I'm being kind of stubborn at the moment -- I know I need the glasses to see well but I'm still refusing to wear them constantly. So I have a pair on the coffee table for watching tv, a pair in my purse and a pair in my bedroom. I'm *this* close to just wearing them all the time, but after a quarter century of 20/20 they're still taking some getting used to! At least I finally found frames that I'm comfortable with, though. It's a step in the right direction :)

I only have eyes for you

It should come as no surprise that the main reason I wanted this dress was so I could wear it to the eye doctor. I seriously cannot WAIT until my next appointment now!! Also, if you look closely you can see that I'm wearing a belt that's the same color as my dress. You're probably thinking that it came with the dress -- and you'd be wrong! It's actually from another dress, but the color is *exactly* the same. It's so weird since this is such an unusual mauve/muted pink color. I just thought that was pretty fantastic :)

I've been having vision problems lately so I have to go to the eye doctor today :( All throughout school, I wanted glasses SO badly I used to fib on the eye exams at the nurse's office. They must have always figured me out, though, because I always got a clean bill of health anyway. Once fake glasses became popular I was finally able to try out the look I'd always wanted while rocking my 20/20, and ever since then I've been kind of proud of my perfect vision. Until now.. I'm like 99.9% positive I'm going to be coming home with a pair of spectacles. I'm sort of excited about being able to pick out frames (maybe pink?!) but considering I have chronic sinus issues, asthma and allergies, it was sort of nice having one health-related thing that made me feel like congratulating my body on a job well done ;p
