Barton's My Baby

Guess who has new glasses?? I do! I do!


These beautiful Barton Perreira frames are now my most prized possession. They're the Sheldon in Fern Gully. Just look at that color:


They suit my face perfectly. Honestly, I want to wear them all the time even though I'm not supposed to. Turns out my eyes are pretty healthy and my prescription is low, which is great, but I only need them when I'm away from the computer— basically never? My first eye exam since grade school was super weird! Having my pupils dilated was totally trippy but I did score some sweet temporary shades.

Notice anything else? Oh, that's right! My candy colored hair. Almost two years ago I vowed never to return to a salon because I have the worst luck. My hair was super healthy and finally getting long again, too. My goal was more of a natural orange, like, one that occurs in nature. This a touch too manic panic-y, but it'll fade! It already has a bit, thankfully. This is how it looked after I got home from the salon:

I have no idea how to do my makeup now! I feel like I only good with really dark lips? My rose blush looks awkward, no more purple or pink lipstick, and I look so yellow :( At least my glasses are awesome!

Four Eyes

I'm not the world's busiest person by any means but working typical office hours is just so radically different from my normal routine. So I have to be totally honest, I've been completely unmotivated lately! I started my new job about two weeks ago and waking up at 6am is just plain HARD. My unemployment days were filled with super late nights doing nothing in particular and maybe getting up at 10am if I really wanted to push myself lol. Right now my main ambition is to spend all of my money as quickly as possible, which I know is terrible.

Number one purchase: GLASSES! My sight has been deteriorating over the years and I can't even remember my last eye exam, it's been so long ;\ Taking advantage of Warby Parker's awesome Home Try-On Program made perfect sense. Thankfully the package arrived SUPER fast because I could barely contain my excitement.

Begley in Greystone Fillmore in Revolver Black Huxley in Sandalwood Matte Sinclair in Midnight Blue Colton in Tangerine

I have to say I'm not completely sold on any of them. They all fit a touch too small, especially on my perfectly round face! Though I do really dig the Begley frames (it may be the color). I probably should have paid closer attention to their face shape recommendations, but you know me! I do what I want! I actually started my hunt for frames back in February and I made this animated gif after trying on at least 100 pairs at LabrabbitOptics:


I'm still TOTALLY in love with the blue and pink pairs but the prices are so high! How much have you/would you spend on ~the perfect glasses~?
