#1 or #2

It's been a long few years since I've made it to the optometrist to have an exam. I've been wearing glasses since I was in 4th grade, and every few years I try to shake my life up a bit and get new frames. I am also being fitted for contacts, but after 22+ years of having the glasses on my face, I probably won't wear the contacts much; just on occasion when I want to have sunglasses be the frame of choice. After seeing the Dr, and him telling me that really my eyes haven't changed much at all, and having Kim stare me down because I REALLY DON'T NEED to have new frames, these are the two that the frame guy and I narrowed it down to:



These are my current spectacles. They have been good to me, and I have not had new ones in almost 4 years. They are still in good shape, but I feel in the market for something different.
These are option #1: Please ignore the awful glare of the window on them...Abby was my official photographer, and she is a work in progress. Okay, Kim totally hates these ones. He says that they are too trendy and that I will hate them when I look back on pictures of myself. My thoughts are that #1, I rarely take pics of myself, or pose for pics, so that's a lame excuse. #2: They are trendy, and slightly more formal for everyday stuff. But, I think for days when I'm trying to look cute, they might help the process. I kinda like them, and I can also see where I wouldn't want to wear them everyday.

These are option #2: Alot like my current specs, but with slightly thicker sides and a little bling. Kim says that they look like horn-rimmed glasses. These would be a little less noticeable.

Another option is to choose one of the above frames and also keep my current frames for wearing in situations where I don't want to feel as formal. And, my last option is to forgo all of the above and go somewhere else to look at frames. I do have that option still, although my current eye Dr will give me a 20% discount for purchasing with him.
What do you think? Don't forget that this could be life changing for me...choose wisely!

Who cares what anyone but you thinks. You're the one that has to wear them. But, if I had to choose, I like #1. You look totally cute! Love, Aunt Kris

By the way, you're hair looks awesome and you look darling. Can't wait to get together next week (finally!).

I like #1. You need to have glasses that say I am up with the times and I have style in the frames I choose. They look great on you and I think they will be great to wear all the time. You are so cute.
