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.

I can relate too. I'm usually embarrassed by how many pairs I try on in search of the right one. Have learned now what shape to look for. I would also say 2 (you always look great in black frames) or 3 (great shape , something different ito colour). I think your face is saying pick 3.

Such a fun idea! Your pictures crack me up!
I really like #2. The shape is great and I think they are a nice contrast to your light hair and complexion. Thanks for including your followers in the process! I can't wait to hear which pair you choose!

I like the second pair first and the sixth pair second! I think number one is too plain Jane for you.
I'm in your corner about having to try on and pick out glasses. I think I've had the same pair of glasses for seven + years. Just the lenses have changed!

I like 1 because we can see all of your beautiful face with no frames in the way.
I like 3 because they seem very "Ali"
I like 6 because they are SO MUCH FUN! However, I don't know if living with "fun" glasses 24 / 7 is really easy. Maybe you should get two pairs - one for every day and one for those days when you need a little extra fun.
