This is why I started shopping for glasses three weeks before my insurance starts – because today I was seriously pondering the logistics of buying three pairs of glasses. I am torn between three pairs as my main pair, plus a fourth that I want to buy as an occasional pair (they’re fire engine red brushed metal, so I don’t think I have the balls to wear them every day. They’re also Philipe Starck, so not really priced to be a casual second pair of glasses. But the more I think about them, the more I pine for them).
I had tried on one Chanel pair in purple. Loved everything but the colour. Then I saw them online in BLACK AND PINK. I trekked all over trying to find them. It became a mission. And today I found them, in a hidden corner of a shelf in Lenscrafters. Triumph! Except then the saleslady said, “Try these new Bvlgaris we just got in” and I put them on and fell in love. LOVE. Then there’s a third pair at Specs and Specs that look like the Bvlgaris but have fun little mod white circles on the arms. Anyway, here are two of the front runners – I can’t find the circle ones online – plus the Starcks, because I am trying to torture myself (they are $860 before lenses).
What to dooooooo?!?!?!
Black and pink! With quilted arms!
Why did she have to show me these? They weren't even out on the shelf yet! I could have been blissfully ignorant about their existence!
Dear This Pair: Why do you have to cost so much money? I want to wear you on days when I feel extra sassy and space age-y.
