I finally have my new glasses after a LOT of um-ing and uh-ing over which pair to try out. The problem is that I am not 100% sold on them. I think that they tend to overwhelm my face, but I not sure if that is partly due to the fact that I have never worn such large, bold frames before, and therefore are just not used to the look!
Another issues is that the multi-focal script in my new frames isn’t correct for me, so I still have to get another pair of lenses. So do I buy a new-new pair of frames or just stick with these new ones? Decisions, decisions…
I also found out that I really shouldn’t buy vintage glasses with the aim to replace the lenses, as the plastic will most likely be too brittle{boo, hiss!} and may or may not break. Honestly, if I could find a pair of gorgeous $50.00 & under frames I would probably give it a go anyway, but as it is all the frames I like are $100.00 and over, so that isn’t going to happen. I just can’t risk that sort of money!
None of that changes the major problem which is having to potentially throw down $800.00 for the lenses I need. With that in mind, I so have to find a pair of frames that I love!
I would hate to hate wearing my $800.00 dollar plus glasses just because I didn’t find the right frame!

So there you have it, glasses dilemmas of the day. When I wrote the My spectacles ~ how to find vintage frames to suit you! post, I certainly didn’t think I’d be having this much trouble finding the right pair, but here I am…
