The Search For Glasses | Say Hello To David Kind
Tags:
Last month I received an email with an invitation to try a different way to purchase eyeglasses from a new company called David Kind.
Here's the deal: I don't love that I need to wear glasses and I don't particularly like the process of picking out new glasses. I find I'm usually in a hurry - get in, get out. I also tend to wear my glasses for a long time until they are riddled with scratches or I need a new prescription. I rarely have more than one pair at once.
When this invite came through I thought it sounded like a fun way to test out some new frames and they have a super classy website and I like the idea of this kind of service and let's be honest, I can almost always use a style update.
David Kind is set up a bit like Stitch Fix.
After you sign up you upload a photo of yourself and any information you want them to know and enter your credit card information and then a stylist chooses six different pairs of glasses for you and mails them to your home. Free styling and free shipping.
And I loved their mission statement: Our mission is to provide the highest quality frames and lenses, hand selected to match your facial features and personal style by a friendly, qualified, real person. We provide people with glasses they look great in, lenses they see better through, all via unparalleled customer service.
Yes.
They arrive in a beautiful box (felt like Christmas) and then the fun of trying them on begins.
Now here's where I'd like some help from you guys. Which one do you like on me?
After trying them on and writing a couple notes on each pair on the cards provided you can pick one (or more) pairs to purchase.
You send the box and the glasses back and include your prescription and they will send you back your new glasses.
Trying them on was super fun. Having them here in my house for a few days was a much better experience than the pressure of being in the glasses store and feeling like I needed to make a quick decision.
So what do you think? I've got my personal favorite and so does Katie. I'll share the final result after I hear from you guys.

What an awesome idea! I LOVE pair no 1 on you x

Yes, I'm on Team No. 1 because they are almost not there and you're so pretty it's a shame to notice glasses first instead of you first.
I like #1 because they are very different from the ones you've had in the past. Some of them seem so similar to ones you've had. Go for different.

What a great idea. I hold on to may glasses for too long also. I recently went to have my eyes examined and started looking for a new pair. Since it was late and my eyes were dilated, i wanted to come back another day with a friend to pick out frames. I was told that if I didn't purchase them at the time of the exam I would loose my discount. Needless to say, I wasn't a happy camper and felt rushed to buy something. This company is great to have some time to sit and really think about what you want. I like 5 and 6. Curious to see what you will pick.

I totally understand your relasionship with glasses. I am glad Im able to use contactlenses. But glasses may also be a fashionstatement. I like nr 2 the best, or nr. 1 if you like the more invisible frames. Looking good as always, Ali, and I love that you`re not afraid to make silly faces on photos :)

2 probably, 3 would be next choice. I've scheduled an eye appointment for March. I'll be thinking about this option. Can't wait to see which you ordered.

I like nr. 2 & nr. 3 the most on you, and the ones I like the least on you are nr. 1 & nr. 4
Good luck choosing!

I agree with Anne Marie completely! and there is a tad of funky-ness to #6 that I kinda like on you too! That looks like SO much fun to do -- I'll be on the hunt for new glasses next month, sooooo hard to find the perfect ones!

3 is my fave, but I've always thought you look great in that style of glasses! 1 is cool too, but I'm never sure how I feel about frame less glasses!
3 !!

This just looks like a whole heap of fun, l would love to buy my glasses like that!
My favourite is 3, least favourite is 1. I can't but think that number 1 makes you look older than you are.;)
Replies
Ditto! And I vote for #6 if you decide on a second pair - they look just plain fun. :)

Such a cool way to try on glasses. Love the idea of taking photos and looking back at yourself. I have been horrible at choosing glasses (sunnies) for as long as I can remember. I will need reading glasses soon and appreciate the tips.
Number 2 is my fave.

Definitely 2 or 3. They look the same to me, just different colors. The ones on the right side are too big for you face IMO. Good luck!!
