So these are my new specs! I have been wanting to get some new ones for a while as I have been finding reading is starting to give me headaches and this is usually the sign that tells me to fix my eyes. I was hoping to go for the 'teacher' look and perhaps look a bit more my age instead of being asked to wait outside the headteachers office until they can verify if I am a pupil (Yeah this happened once and was embarrassing).
If you are a glasses wearer you will know that people like to try on your glasses to see what the world looks like through your eye or to see how blind you actually are. I tried on my friend Ben's glasses and was surprised to find we had a very similar prescription which made me glad that someone else out there sees the world the same as me but usually this never happens.
The last few days of university we were trying on each others' glasses and I found that everyone seemed to have more comfortable glasses than me. I hate that they mark my face and go from feeling loose to tight throughout an average week so I decided the next pair I would buty would have no nose pads. Yep that's right nose pads are awful and if glasses have them built in amen they are so much more comfy. This also means that I can read for longer and feel smarter.
Picking glasses has always been a worry for me as I always think my glasses look wrong on my face and a few years ago I discovered why: A simple rule, if you have a round face pick square frames and if you have a square face pick round/ish frames. This is all I know when it comes to eye wear as I am not a style guru (secret wish) but this trick has worked for me for the last couple of years.
When I picked these glasses they were from the mens section of the shop and the sales assistant kept coming over to me to remind me of this fact. I know this is the mens section as I have a round face and all the womens glasses in the shop are round. if I had the money I would buy the unisex designer glasses but I haven't had my first teacher pay check yet (Secret Sigh). However by the third time she reminded me of this fact I was a little ticked as this is a shop, I want to buy glasses, and I am willing to pay you money. Maybe she thought I was blind.
I have a secret crush on girls who wear glasses, see my pin board here. And my favourite blog at the moment is dedicated to some girls who wear glasses.
