J has decided to change her look and to get new glasses. Three years ago, or about the time the lease ran out on our Passat J got some funky red glasses to complement her blond hair and artsy look. Now that we recently signed off on a new Lexus, J felt it was time to head back to the I glass store (s) to reinvent herself...again. So begins the quest for just the right frame. Add to this progressive lenses and all that that entails and your are staring down the barrel of a $700-800 bill.
From SPECS (both stores), to 20/20 Optical, to Oliver Peoples, to SEE, to Greenwich Optical we combed the stores looking for the right look. " I have a small face, my skin color doesn't carry this color, I want plastic frames, big frames, but not too big"."These are called cappuccino, coffee, starlet, Betty etc.
Back and forth, forth and back, let's just try one more store, day in and day out for a full frontal attack for at least a week. Finally we have a winner! Tortoise shelled, deep brown, almost black, fit perfectly on the bridge, this is it, well maybe not. "Please ,please let's get this done, I cannot tell one from the other, they all look the same." "You are no help." "I need a girlfriend to come shop with me." "Fine!"
"No really this is it." YES! "That wasn't so bad and remember who comes with you every 36-42 months when you begin your never ending car search. " Gotcha!
