Rose Coloured Spectacles Again

I have my new glasses.  For once, Bob was at the opticians with me, and he helped choose. So these are quite unlike the fairly simple, safe wire frames I have always had in the past. These have rose coloured sides - and the fronts are brownish pink plastic.

And here they are being worn - I have just had my haircut too, so I am feeling fairly glamorous today!




















Do other people have problems choosing spectacle frames? Obviously I cannot see clearly what they look like when I try them on, because they don't have the right lenses in. And then my lenses cost so much that I can't justify spending a huge amount on designer frames.
I think I shall like these though, they feel very comfortable to wear. Sadly, I no longer have to consider if they will be comfortable under my motorbike helmet.

 Here's a comparison shot - 18th May next to 6th July

    The new glasses really suit you.

    I am braving the opticians today, I haven't been for a very long time, but I have promised to take care of myself so I forced myself to make an appointment. Like you my lenses are so expensive - I have them thinned so I'll have to see what they can offer me in terms of something attractive yet not too expensive.

    Lovely Angela, I find it really helps to have a family member when choosing frames.

    They look great. Reading glasses only for me so it's an easy decision - expensive glasses at the optician's or Poundland...it's a no brainer...

    The glasses look great and so do you! My optician uses an iPad to take a photo of me in new frames then I put old glasses on to have a look, really helps.
