New Glasses [Part 2]

Those of you who have been following along for a bit, know that I 'updated' to a fresh pair of glasses in the early summer. I'd had high hopes for those specs, but they fell short. So when my dahling puppy doodle decided to dispatch of said glasses, to say I was disappointed would have been a lie.

Well I did have a moment of panic, when I couldn't find my old pair of glasses, and had to wear my prescription sunglasses around, but luckily I located the old ones in a box headed to Goodwill. [HUGE SIGH OF RELIEF]

So when I restarted my quest for new glasses, I was once again faced with a decision. Do I go with something bold? Or go back to tried and true?
Do I get the bold orange frames? Or the bland black ones? After a few days of ponderation (yes I made that up), I took the plunge and went orange. Just to clarify orange isn't my favorite color, but I really liked the shape of the frames, and couldn't find the same in any other color. Of course the day after I got them, I found the same pair in all white. #headdesk

I will admit I was scared that I wouldn't like them. If that was the case I'd be stuck waiting another week plus for a new pair. While Zenni Optical is reasonably fast, I was so sick of wearing my old, scratched lens, on-the-verge-of-falling apart frames. However as soon as I put them on, I knew it was love. Or....at least a deep like. Or something...

My family? Didn't share my opinion. My mother goes.. "Oh my! Did you know they were crayola orange?" Yep. Sure 'nough did. My brother: "I can't believe you got those! I didn't think you would wear them in real life!?" My dad: "What do you have on your face?"

Everyone else: "I LOVE YOUR GLASSES!

And now you know why I don't value my families opinion of things (like this) very highly. ;)

However. After several days of wearing them I am realizing that I may have to purchase another pair, simply due to the fact that... neon orange doesn't go with *everything* They are a lot of fun, but. Yeah.
