When you would’ve requested me this time final week in regards to the greatest change in my life currently, I’d’ve stated that I received a brand new pair of glasses, LOL!
I truthfully would’ve by no means predicted that I’d be sitting right here one week later carrying those self same glasses to take a excessive power Australian shepherd for a stroll. Severely, life is so loopy.
Say hello to our latest member of the family Marnie! Her full title is Marnie Marie. 🙂 In fact we might give our canine daughter a center title.
Anyway, I’ve been needing new glasses for some time; the final time I purchased a brand new pair was pre-pandemic again in 2020! Again then I purchased a sassy pair of pink Kate Spade frames, and whereas I favored the look of them in photos, I hated carrying them due to the thickness of the frames; at any time when I’d look out sideways I’d see the frames, which was tremendous distracting. I hardly ever wore them, so as a substitute, I’ve been rocking a pair of tremendous previous glasses from 2018 for the final FOUR YEARS. I do know.
Facet word, have you ever ever purchased a brand new pair of glasses after which hardly ever touched them? I’m guessing this occurs as a rule.
Once I went to the optometrist a number of weeks in the past to get my eyes checked, this was the final pair that I attempted on after testing out, I child you not, 50 or so pairs.
What was kinda unusual to me was that it felt weirdly excessive stakes to strive on completely different colours and types of frames. I suppose I’ve gotten used to seeing myself a sure manner, so the considered going too far out of my fashion consolation zone was intimidating.
I didn’t need a pair that seemed precisely like those I already was carrying, however I couldn’t convey myself to decide to a mode that was fully completely different. I dunno, perhaps that is one thing that occurs as one will get older? You get so used to seeing your self a sure manner, and subsequent factor you already know, you have got the identical coiffure for 30 years.
I believe this pair is completely different sufficient due to the form and the marginally edgier vibe, however it nonetheless has hints of the earlier pink tortoiseshell pair I beloved carrying.
Oh! One other factor. The lenses! I can’t consider I’m saying this out loud as a result of I’ve been in denial for thus lengthy about my near-vision, however these are progressive lenses. That’s when you have got glasses which can be just like the old-school bifocals however with out the tough line, so you may see issues which can be each close to and much. I gotta say that although it took me some time to simply accept that, they’re tremendous helpful to have as a result of I’m now not always eradicating my glasses to have a look at my telephone, or having to hold a number of pairs of glasses wherever I’m going.
It’s an entire new world!
Anywho, that’s one in every of many new issues that’ve been taking place currently.
Your pleasant neighborhood magnificence addict,
Karen
