Hipster Glasses

I get people asking me allll the time if I'm wearing glasses as a part of my "look" that day. Dang you hipsters! Ruining the wearing of glasses for the rest of us! I actually have lenses in my glasses and wear them for things like...seeing, you know? I first knew I needed glasses when I would determine which teammate I was passing the basketball to by her hair and jersey color. I didn't even realize that I had bad eyesight because I was compensating with colors and my parents didn't know because I was still sinking shots! It wasn't until they asked why I was squinting when I played, and I responded that it was so I could see exactly who I was passing to. Enter glasses!

I'm such a bad contact wearer though, because I sleep with them in for a week or more at a time {I know, I know...stop scratching your eyeballs out.} So when I finally do take them out and my eyes burn to high heavens, I like to look cute in my glasses :)

I love my Ray-Ban "inspired" {aka copycat} tortoiseshell glasses for everyday wear, and I just purchased a pair of black cat-eye glasses to give me some more options. Plus, I'm on the hunt for some rectangular glasses from Bonlook so I can look super classy when studying...because that's what's important when studying right? It's nice that prescription glasses are more affordable nowadays, as opposed to my over $200 Vera Wang glasses from high school. Yikes! Hooray for more fashionable options for the nearly-blind!

Glasses for the Blind & Budget Conscious

{check out my glasses here}

Seeing as how I have absolutely horrible vision, glasses are a necessity in my life.

Decent glasses seem to run around 200 bucks a pair these days, yikes!

I definitely can't afford that with a college student budget.

Then I found the affordable glasses site, Firmoo.com, a site that fits my style & price point.

They even offer a first pair free program, and how cool is that?!

Firmoo has a variety of choices, the delivery was quick, they have a Virtual-Try-On system on their site, and these prescription glasses would be extremely affordable for the practically blind & budget conscious college student and/or newlywed :)

Blind As a Bat

I have played basketball my whole life, and when I made it onto my high school freshmen basketball team I was stoked.

During summer ball my parents came to every one of my games and asked why I would always squint before passing the ball.

"Well, I can see that my teammates are in blue, and I can tell who it is by what color and how long their hair is. Then I just chuck the ball over to them!"

That's when my parents dragged me to the eye doctor.

I must have excellent basketball skills, cause I don't know how the heck I was making any shots or passes with my eyesight!

With an astigmatism in both eyes, and one eye being near sighted and the other far sighted I was still a starter on the team.

Yup, I'm a rockstar.

I didn't want to wear contacts all the time, so I had the option for glasses too.

I wish I had known about GlassesUSA.com before I bought my mega expensive frames!

GlassesUSA has this thing called a Virtual Mirror, where you can upload a picture of yourself and try out different kinds of eyeglasses, suffice if to say I got a little carried away.

So try it out for youself! It's mega easy and kinda like window shopping :)

These frames are totally cheap glasses, and easily affordable.

And if you are like me...where I've already lost one set of glasses, you don't want to be spending hundreds of dollars on a new pair.

These eyeglasses frames are high quality, 100% satisfaction guaranteed, and there is a rad refer-a-friend program. What more could you want!?
