My Glasses Obsession

Original post by Sarah @ Renewed Upon a Dream, please visit her website for more great ideas!”

Yea I finally got my brand new Dell laptop computer yesterday afternoon.  SO EXCITING!  I spent a lot of the evening downloading all of the programs that I need in order to use my new computer effectively for blogging, and then I got up early to get these photos edited for you!  So, I’m able to share today the 5 pair of glasses that I have gotten since my latest obsession with pretty glasses has began.  I’m pretty much no-good at taking self-photos, but here you go, it’s a me-collage!

The breakdown of the glasses.  I got 3 of the from Zenni, they were buy two get one free at the time. One pair is from Coastal, and I got that pair for free paying only for shipping with their first pair free promotion.  The last pair I also got for “free” with my vision insurance from my eye care provider.  Can you tell from the pictures above which ones were originally expensive?  I can’t.

First I’ll show you the 3 pair I got from Zenni for about $25 total.  That’s for 3 pair of glasses and shipping.  

First is my purple pair.  These ones are really light & I love that they aren’t tight on my head & I can just forget I have them on.

Then there is the silver half-rimmed frames.  These make me look smart.  They are great for when I need glasses but don’t want major frames or want my glasses to be subtle & not make a big statement.

I couldn’t get a good picture of these for some reason.  I think I was kinda in a hurry at the time.  Anyway, these are my free red glasses I got from Zenni.  I love them!  I really wanted a pair of red glasses just for fun.  I love red!  It was always my favorite color when I was little.  I don’t really have a favorite color now, I like colors in the red family.  Red, pink, purple, orange… so I had to have at least one pair of fire-engine red glasses!   And they were free, so why not!

Next up we have the glasses I got for free (I paid shipping) from Coastal.  They were running a promotion for your first pair free, I believe they are still running the promotion if you enter the coupon code FIRSTPAIRFREE at checkout.  I got a really fun pair of brown glasses.  I figured I needed a pair of brown ones to go with my brown work pants.  Gotta have a black pair & a brown pair right?  I love these ones, I think they are fun & different.  These were originally around $80.

And lastly, my black glasses that I got from the eye center for “free” with my vision insurance.  These are by Davis Vision.  I think they would be originally somewhere around $100.  These are my “good” glasses.  These are the ones I fall back on if I don’t feel like deciding which ones to wear.  They fit my face really well & they are cute & make a statement without being too over-the-top.

I still want some more.  What style of glasses do you think I still need in my collection?  Do you think my new obsession is kind of weird?  When I can get them so inexpensively, I’ve started to think of them like any other accessory.  Like earrings or necklaces or headbands.  They are a part of my look   I’m having fun looking at different varieties & trying out different styles.  I do still really want that pair from Coastal that I talked about last week.  The tortoise shell pair.  Oh they are so pretty.  Longing and dreaming….
