When I was in ninth grade, I found out I had to wear glasses all the time. I was so upset—I thought I looked awful in glasses. I
begged my mom to get contacts, and I am sure she agreed just so I would stop whining.
That same day, I was showing my new contacts to my best friend…and she accidentally dropped one down the drain. I wanted to avoid wearing glasses so badly that I wouldn’t leave Mom alone until she got me another pair from the eye doctor.
Over the years, I avoided wearing glasses as much as possible. Part of it was definitely because I had the same pair of glasses I bought in sixth grade (I never got the prescription for them in ninth grade due to the contact fiasco) all the way through college, but mostly I just thought I looked terrible in glasses.
This year, my allergies were so terrible that putting in contacts in the morning felt like stabbing myself with needles. I settled for wearing glasses to work…and surprisingly received a lot of compliments. As I grew used to seeing myself in glasses, I didn’t feel like an ugly duckling every time I wore them.
When
Firmoo contacted me about reviewing a pair of glasses, I was excited but also a bit concerned about ordering glasses online. I have always gone to a store to get glasses fitted, so I wasn't sure how this could be done online. Honestly, the process was so quick and easy! I just picked a pair of glasses (so hard to do because there were so many cute options), plugged in my prescription, measured my pupillary distance, and I was finished! I loved that I could upload a photo of myself to see what the glasses would look like on me.
The glasses came quickly, and I was so surprised by how nice the quality was, especially compared to the price. They came in a nice case with a cute pink lens cloth. The best thing is that
I actually like how they look on me.
Firmoo is
currently offering 15 percent off your first pair for new customers, which makes its cheap prices even better.
I am already looking at other styles, since it never hurts to have a spare pair!
I received a pair of Firmoo glasses in exchange for this review, but all opinions are my own.
I wanted glasses so badly as a kid I can't even tell you how much. I just love the look :) You chose a super cute pair!
ReplyDeleteIf your still wanting glasses there's nothing stopping you from going on line and ordering a nice pair that suits you. One good place to order glasses from is zennioptical.com you can get your glasses for under $20.00 and that even includes an AR coating (anti-reflective) which is very good to have on your lenses. I would suggest rather than getting non prescription glasses which often time can be hard to explain to friends and family that you order your glasses with -.50 lenses. This is an extremely weak prescription which I promise you won't have any problem seeing perfectly with and won;t do any harm to your eyesight. (I am a retired optician)
DeleteThose look so good on you, love them!!
ReplyDeleteI think they look great on you! I've worn glasses since the 4th grade and didn't get my first pair of contacts until I was about 25! So even though most people I know now only know me without glasses, there are a lot of people who feel like my always-black rimmed frames are just a part of me.
ReplyDeleteYou picked a GREAT pair! They really frame (pun intended hehe) your face well! xo, Biana
ReplyDeleteI usually wear contacts but have glasses as back up. My vision is horrible. I really like the ones you chose!
ReplyDeleteYou're rocking these glasses. It's so hard to me to find a pair that's cute and fits right. I'll definitely check these out.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Doreen! Glad you like the pair I picked. :)
DeleteI've been wearing glasses since the 3rd grade, and I feel like I still don't know how to wear them with confidence. They look great on you!
ReplyDeleteI have to say Firmoo is a great company. If I didn't have such insanely good benefits, I would always buy my glasses through them.
ReplyDeleteglasses look great on you! i wanted glasses when i was younger but i'm sure if i actually needed them i wouldnt have wanted them lol
