Eye Got You!

'Die'

-Carissa's Weird

Earlier this year I went in for my two year eye check renewal. They say that you should have your eyes checked every year but only every two years should you get a new prescription. So maybe I did this back in March and I am finally to the point where I found my new frames. You are probably shocked it took this long or maybe even wondering why it took this long. Well something that you should already know about me by now is it takes me a long time to make very important decisions. When it comes to buying jeans I have a hard time, I can't just go into any store and buy any pair. They have to feel and look right (I know girly) but seriously I have to be stuck with them so let me take my time. The same is for eye wear, although this is more crucial. I will be stuck with this one pair of frames for two whole years! It's so important I find the right look. Back when I got the current "rectangle frames" they still hadn't become a national trend look. Well now that everyone and their dog has rectangle glasses I got to drop this look like a bad drug habit. (However there are no good drug habits.)

I have been infatuated with the look of the 50's in eye wear and here in St. George there is not one place that has the look I have wanted. Back in April around 2am one day I was looking through a magazine and an article about a company, Warby Parker, caught my attention. They believe that you can have boutique designs with the 3/4 the cost. I was skeptical so I ignored the article. A month later I was up in Salt Lake and still hadn't found the frames that spoke to me, oh yeah frames speak to me too. Well I picked back up the article and read it, went to the web site and FOUND the FRAMES!!!! They are a super rad company! 4 college guys wanted eyes to be cheaper and cool still. Being an online company they do a thing called "home try on." They send you 5 pairs for free and a return shipping label so you can try them out. You mail them back and then order the ones you want. Well I finally did it last week and Monday my 5 try ons came in the mail!

This brings me to the post. I am going to show all 5 styles and I want your opinions. I already think I know the two and the one I really dig but want to hear your thoughts. There is one pair I just selected as you have to select 5 try ons, so if you notice the one just by pass it.

Let's begin, (PS I realize these all look like something out of the 50's and 60's but therein lies my current obsession photographically and style wise.)

Currently I look like this: (below)

Here is option A: Huxley (below)

Option B: Miles (below)

Option C: Japhy (below)

Option D: Fillmore (below)

Option E: Roosevelt (below)

So now you tell me what pair you like. I plan on still keeping a spare rectangle pair around (current ones will be-lensed, but it's time to change the trend. And you know how I like to mix it up.) Please make comments!
