I have rejoined the clan of the 4 eyed. Hopefully what I chose won't turn out ridiculous looking 🥸

I got a Marc Jacobs pair of glasses, but I LOVE my horn rimmed sunnies. I specifically wanted hornrim because it reminds me of the way Gary Larson draws women

I think it is fun to find a pair of glasses that represent your personality! You have to wear them all day in front of people, have fun with it!

I tried some of those and they did NOT suit. Got some that match my silly hair colours.

I'll never give my hornrims up

I think buying glasses that match your hair colour is a FANTASTIC decision!!!

I haven’t used Zenni or Specsavers (or whatever the best deal is these days) but if you don’t end up liking it you can go cheap enough to get your prescription in a few styles?

I got 2, totally covered by insurance and apparently I can change my mind for up to 3 months
