If you remember I was on the hunt for my first computer glasses: here and here. There were a couple of frames I liked but they did not come in colors which suited me...and meanwhile I continued to get tired eyes from work.
A couple of weeks ago I was shopping at Costco and decided to check their selection of glasses - and these frames jumped right at me. The color was good - deep cranberry red going into black on the sides. Hardware on temples was minimal and I though the shape was good for me overall. The price was good too so I decided to get them so at least I can start giving my eyes a break and later i can hunt for a better pair at leisure.
What do you think - I hope it is not a total disaster (and even if it is I will be wearing them behind the computer only , not walking in them everywhere so hopefully the damage is not too big.
Wore them today at work for the first time - it does feel weird... :-)
My new glasses!

They look great! I also like your shirt.
60 Minutes did a segment on glasses, Luxottica specifically. Costco is apparently one of the few places selling glasses not owned by Luxottica.

The color and shape are very flattering, I like the detail of the little loop on the sides. But the bug shirt!!! I hadn't seen it – I really like it. Wearing my computer glasses to see the little bugs over here :)

Wow, at Cosco??? They look more than great! Color and shape wise you are sorted! But still, advising you for correct prescription glasses, if possible anytime, asap. Great shirt and love your cut, too!:-)

Costco?! Would never had known! Great specs on you.

Sveta replied 9 years ago
Thank you ladies! I am glad my first glasses passed YLF filter! :-)
Lyn, these are real prescription glasses, not cheap readers off the shelf. Costco has a full function optical department.
For those who asked: bug shirt is last year BF shirt from Gap. -

Costco!? Love!!! I am waaaay overdue for new glasses. Might need to check out Costco! I'm a super cheapie for that type of thing - my last ones were free from Clearly Contacts online. Now that's a risky way to purchase glasses ;)

Your glasses look great! They fit right in with your classy style without calling attention to themselves, if you know what I mean. It took me a while to get used to wearing reading glasses, too. Now my problem is remembering where I laid them down. :)

They look GREAT on you! And you give me hope, as I need to make an appointment both for myself and DS14 this summer because I think he might need glasses and I might need reading glasses.
