Warby Parker Glasses

It was the time for my yearly eye appointment and though my vision hadn't changed much, it was definitely time for a new style of glasses. For a while now I had been sporting the same style of glasses probably since I first got glasses in sixth grade. However, styles have changed and vintage large frames are back.

I was introduced to Warby Parker by my friend Rachel (thirteenoctobers) when they did a little kiosk stand at the Nordstrom in Tysons. Warby Parker then opened up a store in Georgetown, which I visited with another friend who also got her glasses there and sang their praises. So I brought my prescription from my eye doctor to them on October 22 and got my order in right away. They told me my package would arrive November 3 but it actually arrived on October 27, so only 5 days to get to me!

The packaging is very nice. It came in a black box and inside was a light grey hard glasses case that is blue on the inside. There is also a soft glasses case inside. The glasses were actually too wide so I had to get them adjusted, which I did back at the store for free. It took a bit of time to get used to the new glasses and prescription but I absolutely love them.

The glasses I got were the style "Nash" in the color whiskey tortoise. They cost $95 but since my prescription as high, I paid an extra $30 for the thinner lenses. The lenses come anti-scratch and anti-glare as a standard. They also have 100% UV protection. The shipping was free and the glasses come with a one year warranty for scratches where they will replace your lenses for free.

These lenses are huge and I just really love them. I never thought such large glasses would look good on me and I've actually avoided the whole trend for a long time. I just believed that they would look terrible but I ended up actually really liking this style. With such large lenses, my field of vision is larger now too!
