New specs: GlassesUSA eyeglasses review

I'll never forget the day in 4th grade that I got my first pair of glasses. My mom and I held hands as we exited the eyeglass store at our local mall, and I literally gasped when I looked at a tree in the distance and I could see its leaves. In 8th grade, I was finally deemed mature enough to wear contacts. I can remember sitting on the couch at home wondering why my eyes felt so dry - wearing contacts would definitely take some getting used to, but it was nice not to have to rely on a pair of glasses for sight. 


Now, in my ripe old age, I enjoy wearing eyeglasses again to break up the monotony of wearing contacts. Plus, glasses bring an extra element of style to an outfit and can add balance to your face. When GlassesUSA.com contacted me recently, it was perfect timing - I haven't had a new pair in over 5 years!


After quite the uncomfortable eye doc visit (my right pupil was dilated WAY bigger than my left; made conducting therapy rather awkward), I picked out these two pairs:


The Adams:

And the Bettys:

(I love the detailing on the side of these!)

I absolutely love them both. The Adams are sophisticated and classy for my therapist look, and the Bettys are a little funky and stylish. I wish I could go back in time and tell my 8th grade self that wearing glasses is cool and to stop trying so hard to fit in! :)

The ordering experience with GlassesUSA was absolutely a breeze - the site is very user friendly and the PRICES are FANTASTIC, no joke. Regarding shipping? They were at my door faster than I could even track the package online. I would absolutely recommend them to a fellow four-eyes looking for a fun new pair of glasses. And the best part? You don't even have to wear prescription eyeglasses to enjoy GlassesUSA - you can order glasses without a prescription, just for fashion's sake!


Wary of ordering such an important, every-day accessory online? Don't worry, the virtual mirror makes uploading your photo a breeze so you can try on your favorite pairs virtually. 

If that isn't just the most awesome thing ever, I couldn't tell you what is.

Good news: if you're looking to buy glasses, GlassesUSA is offering Sunshine Cupcakes lovebugs a little deal...

If you need me, I'll be on a walk around the neighborhood, continuing to admire the fact that I can see the leaves on the trees.
