Choosing new glasses always simultaneously excites and terrifies me - I can go in to the store with the best of intentions and a Really Good Idea of what you want, but inevitably I'll be overwhelmed and end up picking something that looks great, in theory (as I squint impossibly at my blurred reflection in the mirror). The Great Lens/Frame Switchover happens for me about once every two years, and it's a big decision - it's an 'accessory' I wear a lot. Luckily at my most recent eye test, I was told that my eyes (I'm shortsighted) have actually improved, so these glasses herald a happier, weaker new prescription.
I've shied away from what I perceive to be 'huge' frames for the longest time, but the optical assistant assured me that these didn't make me look like a dumbass. I don't know how convinced I am, but for the moment I'm content with taking dorky close-ups.
