Jeff shook his head at me over breakfast and said, "It's going to take me a looooong time to get used to those." Ha.

super fun! not everyone can pull those off with such success (i couldn't!)
― obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Friday, 24 June 2011 15:14 (thirteen years ago) link
very cute, jenny!
― tehresa, Friday, 24 June 2011 15:58 (thirteen years ago) link
I am not entirely convinced I am pulling them off, actually, but I appreciate the votes of confidence!
― phantoms from a world gone by speak again the immortal tale: (Jenny), Friday, 24 June 2011 15:58 (thirteen years ago) link
i am convinced!
― tehresa, Friday, 24 June 2011 15:59 (thirteen years ago) link
love them on you, jenny!
― just1n3, Saturday, 25 June 2011 00:37 (thirteen years ago) link
those are adorable, jenny! you have the best glasses-face!
― horseshoe, Saturday, 25 June 2011 00:41 (thirteen years ago) link
I am now firmly pro these glasses bc they seem to both attract interesting ppl and scare away the squares.

That's what my friend says about her Chelsea haircut, too.

i think i want these. still need to find out pupillary distance! argh.
― tehresa, Friday, 5 August 2011 19:11 (thirteen years ago) link
i may have posted them before?
I saw these on TV and thought "Hey those are my glasses!" but then I see in the credits that Mad Men gets all of their eyewear from the very store I purchased them at (Old Focals in Pasadena, also endorsed by Drew Daniel!):

people seem to like them. contemplating 60's ad exec style haircut to go with them...

though that is the wrong gradient; it's supposed to be the Tortuga

the guy who taught my roadside bicycle maintenance class the other night had purple ray ban glasses w/ white trim that were so awesome, i could not take my eyes off him. it made me a little uncomfortable because i kept staring at them.
― tehresa, Saturday, 6 August 2011 03:58 (thirteen years ago) link
Is there an online place that will put new lenses in your old frames for cheap?
― ilx poster and keen dairy observer (Jenny), Saturday, 20 August 2011 19:31 (thirteen years ago) link
i think zennioptical does?
― just1n3, Saturday, 20 August 2011 19:59 (thirteen years ago) link
Ooo good. I like them.
― ilx poster and keen dairy observer (Jenny), Saturday, 20 August 2011 20:57 (thirteen years ago) link
i tried on sooo many glasses today and got my pupillary distance measured so yay i am going to order some glasses soon!
btw tiffany has a line of frames now that are really cute - they are navy w/ the tiffany blue accent on the inside. i really liked their shapes, too. but $$$$....

it's coastal contacts free glasses day! Ordered the purple ones I've been eyeing for months. Paid extra for coatings, etc so not free. But still an amazing deal! I hope they look ok!!
― tehresa, Wednesday, 24 August 2011 18:47 (thirteen years ago) link
new glasses are exciting!
― beth (crüt), Wednesday, 24 August 2011 19:46 (thirteen years ago) link
Aw, fudge. I have an eye apt next week or I would pick up these clear cat eye glasses I've been wanting from Coastal Contacts.
― pullapartsquirrel (Jenny), Wednesday, 24 August 2011 19:55 (thirteen years ago) link
my glasses came super fast! must have arrived sometime saturday. not sure if they look good, though :(
― tehresa, Monday, 29 August 2011 14:59 (thirteen years ago) link
jenny, those derek cardigans with the divide/multiply sign on them. do you think you could you cover the symbols with a sharpie or are they too big/prominent? your thoughts?
― caek, Thursday, 1 September 2011 13:21 (thirteen years ago) link
Hmmmm I don't think that would work because you'd still be able to discern them and it would look like you colored your glasses with a Sharpie. It's not as noticeable as I feared, however.
― pullapartsquirrel (Jenny), Thursday, 1 September 2011 14:03 (thirteen years ago) link
lol ok
― caek, Thursday, 1 September 2011 14:12 (thirteen years ago) link
ha, just ordered rayban clubmasters on sale. feel dirty.
― caek, Thursday, 1 September 2011 17:29 (thirteen years ago) link
on sale where?
― kate78, Thursday, 1 September 2011 18:00 (thirteen years ago) link
germany -O-O-
― caek, Thursday, 1 September 2011 18:04 (thirteen years ago) link
not very cheap tbh
i am basically paying €50 not to have those maths symbols on my specs.
Whatever it takes, man. Like you said, being an attorney with maths glasses is one thing. Being a maths man with maths glasses is like being in a band and wearing your own band's tshirt on stage.
― pullapartsquirrel (Jenny), Thursday, 1 September 2011 19:07 (thirteen years ago) link
haha yah so sad though they are really nice and it seems like you wait five minutes and they are on sale for next to nothing
― caek, Friday, 2 September 2011 10:37 (thirteen years ago) link
clubmasters are cool! nabisco will probably recommend shuron ronsirs as a great cheap way to get combo frames if you want them.
I have a pair of combo frames, they look better as an object of aesthetic worth than they do on my face, sadly
― dayo, Friday, 2 September 2011 10:41 (thirteen years ago) link
yah those are cool(er). basically unavailable in the eu though. the raybans were about the same pice.
― caek, Friday, 2 September 2011 11:59 (thirteen years ago) link
digging this style. can't decide which color is best!
