Update: Eyeglasses (fit for a clown)

Here I am to update you on my glasses. Normally a post like this would probably not be at all humorous.. but this one just might. (Let me grab a re-fill on my coffee and then I will continue this little story.) All right here we go.

On Thurs the 10th I ordered my two sets of glasses. Shipping time was estimated a week, so I was VERY surprised when my glasses arrived on Mon the 14th *Holy heck* fast shipping.

I excitedly opened the package glass case number one was the lucky brand (black frames)tried them on and INSTANTLY loved them!!
Case number two Kam Dhillon (purple ray-ban style) I opened the case and first thought was.. "Jeaz these are a little huge" Thinking it was just my eyes I walked to the bathroom and put them on looking in the mirror. I wanted to laugh but was so confused as to "WHAT was the person that made these glasses smoking?!?" Now some people might like these.. they may fit someones style. BUT HECK NO!! Not me!!!
I knew they would have to be returned, lucky for me the business accepts returns and even pays the return shipping. (Now that is a great business)
Now I knew I had to take some pics for you guys of these glasses before I packaged them back up within hrs of receiving them only to send back for a credit to get another pair.

But first glasses Pros & Con's


Pros
-They were purple (I like purple)

Con's
- They were way wider than my actual face.
- They made my eyes look weird.
-The 4 times I put them on I felt like I could get hired to do children's Birthday party's.
- I felt like a 80s geeky secretary.
- My cheek bones do not require to be framed in glass and my ears to not need any magnifying either.



So now I wait for my account to be credited.. so I can once again pick out another pair of frames. I really wanted something Ray-Ban-ish. But I do not want to have to make yet another return.. So I am thinking I will go for some tortoiseshell rectangular frames. And hopefully come across a nice pair of vintage specs within the next 6 months to fill with my prescription. It looks as though it will be a ongoing battle. By the next year I could have 5 pairs of glasses.

I will let you know what I ended up getting when I get another knock at my door in the early a.m. from the FedEx man.

Here's a cute little video if you have some time to pass.
