My New Glasses: Eyewear

I have never mastered taking selfies so this is my version that looks like a double exposure. My reflection in one of my balcony doors also looks through to one of my living room walls. I wanted to show you my new glasses and the photo below is an enlargement.

I am very camera shy and I can take better photos of myself than anyone else.

This closeup shows the subtle colors in the tortoise-shell frames. My old ones had smaller lenses and wire frames with nose pads. They were quite comfortable but not that becoming. I bought them because I had clip-on sunglasses that fit and soon after I got those glasses, I lost the clips, so that was a wasted effort in economy. I have clip-ons that fit my new glasses too but I didn't realize it until I found them in a drawer full of old glasses. I can see more clearly out of my new frames but when I watch TV in bed, I can see better out of my old wire ones since the lenses are smaller. My new eye doctor tweaked my left lens making it easier to read street signs so, overall, I'm happy. I think it takes a long time to get used to your own reflection in a mirror before you look like yourself to yourself if you know what I mean.

Enjoy this long Holiday Weekend. Be safe if you are on the road. xo

Liking These Eyeglass Frames A Lot!

I am getting closer and closer to finding my dream eyeglass frames. What I really need is to try these on in person. Most have the decorative rivets I like on the outside of the frames. Which shape do you like best? They are expensive but I like them all, each for a different reason. I really need to see the sidepieces too. Not too thick and not too thin is what I want. Decisions, decisions.

Great Eyeglass Frames

I like these frames from Kate Spade and they are only $68.00. They are reading glasses but they look like a quality pair that you can use for prescription glasses. As you might remember I'm long overdue for my eye exam and the search for frames has begun. I like these being worn by Diane Keaton too.

Shopping For New Eyeglasses

I blogged recently about wanting new frames the next time I have my eyes examined and get a new prescription. These cat-eye frames being worn by a dog are NOT on my list. :-)

Diane Keaton | Great Eyeglasses

I love the horn-rimmed glasses that Diane Keaton is wearing. Try finding a pair with that classic D shape also known as Barrister glasses. It's impossible. I'm cleaning my office and now I can shred this page torn from some magazine. Scan and shred. My basket is filling up nicely for recycling tomorrow. Enjoy the upcoming weekend, Rosemary.

These are bookmarked for my consideration. How in the world do you order frames online? How do you measure? Where do you measure? Help.
