| Warby Parker Becketts in Striped Evergreen |
I enjoyed having the 5 pairs to try on at home, but none of them quite worked out for me. Luckily, I was able to book an appointment at their NYC showroom when I was there last May and was able to try on almost all their models. I was able to narrow it down to a few that I liked and finally decided on the Becketts in Striped Evergreen. It's funny how they look quite green in the photos, but when I'm wearing them, they look black.
The entire process was super simple, and I'm tempted to get another pair soon. Two or even three pairs of Warby Parkers cost less than my old pair of eyeglasses! Can I even justify an eyeglass wardrobe? Haha!

Luckily, they've also introduced sunwear. If two pairs of glasses sound excessive, maybe one of them can be sunglasses, right? I love the shape above, which is called the Mabel. It doesn't seem like you can do a home try on for sunglasses, though.
I am reading this post a bit late, but I think two pairs of glasses can be considered anything but excessive. However, this being said, I own FIVE pairs of glasses. haha. I have an eyeglass wardrobe and I love it.
ReplyDeleteAlmost a year ago, my contacts began bothering me on a regular basis - drying out while sitting in front of my computer at work, making my eyes hurt and making it difficult to see. A few months prior to this my favorite glasses broke and I was forced to replace them with frames I liked, but did not love because of a serious lack of funds. Then I stumbled upon Warby Parker. I ordered my first (new) frames from them and loved having the option of two frames (because I was no longer wearing contacts on a regular basis) so much that I decided I wanted a third pair. I ordered a pair of cat's eyes from Coastal Contacts. That lead to ordering a third pair from them and finally my second (and fourth new pair) pair from Warby Parker. It may seem excessive, but I now have a variety of frames (in a variety of colors) to suit my every mood and outfit. I spent under $300 for all four pairs (this does not include my very first replacement pair)!
An added bonus, I helped provide two people with a pair of glasses they could not otherwise afford. So in short (too late), I say go for another pair! :)
