Frames For The Face
When I was a little kid, I had fake glasses that I would wear all the time because I wanted to pretend I needed glasses. (I also wore aluminum foil on my teeth to pretend I had braces...it used to be cool to need those things.) As the years have gone on, I have actually been very happy that I have not had to have glasses but eventually, at some point, we all are going to have to get them for one reason or another.
Many people opt for contacts but I have to tell you, that’s not going to work for me. I don’t even like putting eye drops in my eyes when they are red from lack of sleep. I do not like putting a thing in my eyes. Even when I do go and get my eyes checked out and the Doc does that puff of air in my eye, I question him on his “credentials”. (Really, I do. I ask him, “I understand you graduated but WHERE in your class did you graduate? Were you near the top?") That is how much I hate things touching my eyes or anywhere near them.
So when the time comes, I’m getting glasses. Besides, glasses can be a fashion statement just like your clothes. You don’t have to get boring glasses, you can get some that send a message about your personality or character.
Of course, no one wants to have to spend a fortune on glasses because they break, are lost, get scratched, etc. And these days, people are looking for deals where ever they can find them. So, I’m here to share that if you are in the market for a good pair of eyeglasses, you can find some cheap eyeglasses at Zenni Optical.
Now, let me tell you, the FIRST thing I noticed about this site is that they have a place where you can upload a photo of yourself and then compare frame shapes and sizes to your face so that you will know what kind of glasses look the best on you. When you shop online, you pretty much take a risk that the clothes or shoes or whatever will fit and look good. At Zenni Optical, they took that risk away. It’s a great feature and reminds me of a “make over” CD I had a long time ago.
Navigating the pages are extraordinarily easy. You start off by narrowing the field down between children, men or women. (You can even pick unisex if you don’t like the typical type for your gender.)
You pick your price range, prescription type, shape, (after you have uploaded your photo and played around a little), and then type. You can also narrow the field down by color.
One of the more interesting choices in type is holiday themed eyeglasses. Yep, holiday themed. Here’s an example:
Pretty neat, eh?
How about these?
I would totally wear these types. I would look awesome AND I would save tons of money. They’re under $20!
I can see you, laughing at me wearing snow man glasses but you have not seen me in them, one, and two, you might want to close the pie hole because with the money I just saved, I could buy you a better gift for Christmas than the one I was planning on getting you. You wanted a cool travel mug or a nice warm Chamois shirt? Alright then. Unless you want me to buy you a holiday themed sweater with a horrid looking, crooked Christmas tree on it, I suggest you start oohing and aahing when you see me sporting my Snowman glasses, mmmkay?!
Course, some of you are like me and think holiday themes are cool as all and would like to get some for yourselves. Ok, then click that link above and get over there. Start searching. They have themes for all kinds of occasions, not just Christmas. How about you go take a look and come back here and tell me which ones you would get.
Then we can all look stylish and smart together.
