Because Choosing Glasses Should Be Fun

Hi, my name is Ali Edwards and I wear glasses. 

Every single day. 

I remember being in grade school and dreaming about how I would love to be able to wear glasses (which of course Anna asks for from time to time now too). When it became a reality I was actually excited but as I've gotten older sometimes they just seem more annoying than anything else. One of the things that has started to make it fun is having more than one pair at a time. For twenty plus years I had one pair at a time. Over the last year, through my partnership with David Kind, owning more than one pair has made it fun because they've become more of an accessory (and you know I don't really do a lot of those either) rather than just picking up the same pair everyday. 

Bring on the "fun" Ali, right? 

Last year I partnered with David Kind to share my process of selecting glasses using their awesome try-on-at-home service. You can read about my experience last time here and here. I have loved going back and forth between the green and black pairs. It usually comes down to which one is sitting next to my bed when I get up in the morning. 

I'm back again with another round of silly photos of me showing the pairs I have to choose from this time. And, as I did last year, I'd love to have your input. I've got a couple pairs I'm leaning towards of course, but it's always fun to have this be a community vote. 

So here's the deal, this time I'm looking to mix things up and was most excited to check out the thick clear pairs. 

I've really enjoyed the process of working with David Kind and the process for receiving and sending back the glasses is super easy. A new thing they have happening now is that rather than having a stylist choose all six pairs for your try-on box, you choose three and the stylist chooses three. 

Happy Monday! I hope you have a great week!

    2.. then 3.. but if you are looking for something totally different, I love 4 also. 2 and four if you have to pick just two.. three if you want something a little more "serious" (I also like that they are a little smaller). The other three all seem too large for your face. You are gorgeous.. this was a fun post! <3

    The optometrist in me recommends 2,3, 4 or 6. I think the eye size in #1 is a bit too large and #5 makes you look way older than you are. ;) You look amazing in so many styles though! Definitely an awesome person to model for eyewear. :)

    #3 for sure. Great contrast to draw attention to your beautiful eyes.

    I think the shapes and colors of 2 and 3 look best overall! Some of the others seem too light.

    I love 2 and 4. I think you can pull anything off. I didn't think I'd like clear ones, but I like #4. Which ones are you leaning toward?

    I love my current glasses because the frames both complement my face (in a fun way) and fade away at the same time. I like 4.

    #2 - the clear ones make you look older than you are. #1 is too big. The others are a little plain.
