New glasses!

My glasses came today! I was kind of pissed that they didn't tell me when they mailed them out, but they arrived safely, and I will definitely order from them again. Matter of fact, both Ti and Nick and thinking of ordering from them too.

I think they look rather sharp and make me look more fashion oriented than I actually tend to dress. XD I love how they contrast with the blond too. It's a little disorienting walking around with them, since they are a big step up in prescription than my old glasses and my depth perception is a little bit off at the moment. I keep tripping because of the fishbowl affect. XD;;

Anyway on to the photos since I know ya'll want to see how they look. ;D

And compare with my old glasses (and old hair ;D):


Even though I was annoyed at the lack of information regarding shipping, I will be ordering from them again. I'm ordering a matching pair of sunglasses, probably tomorrow, and a back up pair of frames next month, just in case. The quality is excellent, and the customer service is decent.

I went with the basic $25 glasses, the thickest of their thin plastic lenses, nothing extra, and I can say with full confidence I'd have paid about $150 for the same pair at LensCrafters or a similar eyeglasses store. We went to the mall briefly this afternoon so that Nick and Ti could get a feel for the kind of frames they wanted for themselves, and I saw a pair like mine in red, priced at $159 + tax. Same shape, same material, but a different color.

In case you can't tell, these are the frames I went with. They are a bit darker in person, as I think you can see but they are a lovely dark shade of blue.


If you want to order from them (Goggles4U.com), and can't figure out something, I'll be happy to help if I can. And, one last pic cause I liked how it turned out. X3

Glasses

I've been looking at frames for my new glasses and I think I have it narrowed down. Photos below, and let me know which ones you like, please. These are all from that site Goggles4U, which sells glasses for like $26 shipping included. I'm gonna get a pair of everyday glasses, and a pair of prescription sunglasses as well.

These are the ones I like for my sunglasses:


And these are the frames I want to choose from, for my normal, every day glasses.





Also, a photo of me in my current glasses, so you can see what frames I have now. Please ignore the just-woke-up look. @_@

Which pair do you guys like, of these options? I'm sure there are even more, great options, but I liked these best. I'd prefer a minimal, almost invisible pair for every day, and a more extreme/noticable pair for sunglasses. I'm leaning towards options 1 or 3, for my every day glasses, but I would appreciate ya'lls' opinions.

About Me

My photo
I'm Rory or Rorek in most places. I design, sew, and craft, primarily for my Asian Ball-Jointed Dolls. I also dabble in interior design, but I'm a little out of practice.

I post about the things I enjoy, which are sewing, photographing my dolls, designing new outfits, knitting, which I started in September of 2008, thanks to my Mom, and occasionally drawing, or painting.

I also post about Life Events and how they affect me and those that I love.

Currently I am living in DFW, Texas in the USA and working towards a degree in Theology.
