New glasses. :: My Life.

Funny story...
I had my glasses broken on New Years Eve 2009! It was just a little break at the top of the right side. I superglued it back together no problem, and wore them ever since- just until I had the time to find a new pair. (I'd had the same frames since I was 10 years old). So- I was pretty attached to them.
This christmas just gone- a couple of days before, I was superglueing my glasses back together again. I checked to see if they were dry- it was to the touch- I started cleaning the lenses, and  it smeared!!! Like- big time. Nothing I could do- and of course, no eye-doctor is open on Christmas Eve!!! (I felt like a prize idiot!)
So, for like a week, I'm wearing these frames that are totally smeared on the right lens- or just not wearing them and getting dizzy. A total drag if you're someone who uses their sight a lot (hello, I have drawing coursework to do!)... and I was going back to see my friends in Bristol I hadn't seen in ages. Haha- so ridiculous! Anyway, I managed and finally got a new pair the first week of Jan.

So- bye bye old, lovely, brilliant frames- and hello to new Ray Bans. [: Bittersweet.
I couldn't find anything like my old shape- so just went for something classic and nerdy, that gives me more seeing space.It's kind of nice, having something fresh to wear on my face! I kind of imagine this 'new' Kim being just like the old Kim- but maybe the type of person that does more meditation, is Gluten Free and has a bit more 'sass'.
What do you think? Do you like them? :]

I like them!! :D Agree with you on the more seeing-space thing - I used to wear teeny tiny frames, and I have no idea how I did it! haha. Hello new-Kim! :D xxx

[Desiree Fawn]

You are the cutest!

They look really adorable on you :) I really like this kind of classic style ~ I want to replace my old frames and get some cool white cat eye frames, I just need to find the perfect pair and hope they fit my really thick lenses.

[Holly]

Love them...
I agree, new glasses = new woman. I got new ones this Christmas, geeky big frames too. I love having new specs but as I wear them every day I have get to that point-of-no-return when I give up the old ones. For me my lenses were scratched beyond belief. New year, new specs...what will it hold for us?? :) x x

Those glasses looks good on you. I guess it's safe to say that it's really worth the wait, huh? Well... hope you enjoy those new glasses of yours.

[Vincent Davis]

They're perfect on you! The wait was worth it. You've had those previous frames for quite a long time … Since you were 10, right? Wew.

Congratulations, btw. :D
