new glasses of doom and self-loathing
Nov. 20th, 2008 01:43 pmgot my eyes checked last week and now kirk and i have to go find some frames. at our doctor's office everything was ridiculously expensive ($300+ for designer crap) so i've been using framesdirect.com to look at prices. they have this awesome/craptastic tool so you can preview what the glasses might look like.
ignoring the fact that the only straight-on photo i could find on flickr was one where i had evidently just finished crying, here is what i came up with:
candies 'sandy' $64
nine west #67 $84
(luckily i have cheap taste!) i'm not sure if i like either of them, really. (i think my uploaded photo is weird...too small so everything looks huge?) and maybe i will find something i like at the mall. if they can beat the price for lenses (mine are $99 at high index from framesdirect.com) maybe we will just order the lenses there, too.
siiiiigh. i don't like glasses shopping. though i do hate being blind right now. everything kind of swims a little, especially computer screens. and i am too broke to buy new contacts right now. $450 for one pair, if you can believe that. my eyes suck.
ETA: also my taste is monotonous. i kept gravitating toward frames that were ever so slightly cat-eyed like these ones. all my faves were variations on this theme. so at least i'm consistent.
