help me choose!
Time for some new specs!
I’ve been wearing glasses since I was a young pup, and every year my vision continues to get a little bit worse. (Bummer.) But every year or two, that also gives a good excuse for some new glasses. (Yay!)
So this round, I’m finally trying the fun Warby Parker ”home try-on” option! So many of my friends look awesome in their WP glasses, so I couldn’t wait to give it a go. You simply visit their great site, pick out 5 glasses you might like, and they mail them to you at no cost to try on (prescription-free) and see what you think. Pretty brilliant, WP.
The only bummer was that half of the actual colors that I wanted to try were not available this week for home trying on (too many other people had requested them), so you might notice that all of these look a LOT alike. And that I start to look a little dazed and confused after awkwardly staring into my camera for Take 5 after a long day at work. :)
But I’m excited to hear which ones you like best! So check out my 5 options below, and lemme know!
(*Imagine #1 in “violet magnolia” (tortoise with a little purple)
(*Imagine #2 in “hazelwood” – a lighter tortoise)
(Imagine #4 in “cobalt blue“.)







I’m an eye doctor in a private practice in Kansas City, and it’s disappointing to see people shopping online for glasses (and contacts for that matter). Studies show that nearly 50% of glasses bought online are delivered to the patient with errors. That being said I really like your website, especially the recipes.
less frame ~ these are all overpowering your features. or try a different colour.
In order of favorite-ness…4, 1, 2. But you look super cute in all of them, really!
I like #s 1 and 4 too. This is a great idea – I always struggle to choose new glasses!
#4 gets my vote. And oh my gosh, I’ve never heard of this site but I’m totally going to check it out. How fun!
Love #4!
Shape-wise, I’d go with #1 or #4.
I dig #1 as well – looks like you have two clear faves to pick from!
1.
Pick #1 is my favorite. I like the shape the best. But you do tend to change your hair color which may change my opinion too!
I like the tortoise shell color. The fatter, blacker ones are a little overwhelming. I’d vote #1 first, then #4, then #5. That’s my two cents.
Number 4. I repeat, Number 4…
The problem is you pull every one of those off really well! You would look great in whatever you choose… My first thought was #1 but I am even kind of leaning towards #5!
#4–sets off your eyes the best. (Of course, take that with a grain of salt, because I’m mildly colorblind!)
#1 is super cute!
You’re beautiful in anything, Ali, but I vote #1 for shape, and #4 for color! Be sure to post a pic of you in your new glasses!
#1! That particular color looks really good with your skintone.
I like #1 the best. That shape seems to suit your face the best of all of these options.
number 1 is my fave !
I like 4 and 1.
Definitely #1- color and all:)
I like 1 & 4 too but I think 1 is my absolute fave.
4 and 2. so excited for you. i’ve had mine for over a year now, (maybe almost two!) and i still love them.
1 and 4 as well, but really 4 the most.
I’m with Brandi… 1 & 4 (I think #1 is my favorite though…) – I totally JUST ordered my 5 frames!!!
Eeeee! Please, please post pics, Tina!
I like 1 and 2. I think 2 would be great in hazelwood.
I like #4 in cobalt blue best on you! #1 is a close runner up too!
I have to say I like #1 the best! #4 would be my 2nd choice!
1, and then 4.
I like 1 and 4 the best! cute
