don't hate me because i'm...intellectual.

if anyone remembers the shampoo commercial, don't hate me because i'm beautiful...well, my friend and i used to throw on a pair of glasses, do the hair flip and say, "don't hate me because i'm intellectual."

when we talk about accessories, we normally think of jewelry, scarves, belts, hair adornments, bags, but...glasses? certainly! eyeglasses are a stylish and fun way to spruce up your look.


having 20/20 vision doesn't stop me from wearing glasses. as a kid, i used to pop the lenses out of my parents' old glasses and wear them around the house. i still do this today with my sister's old glasses! since my entire family needs to wear glasses, i know how expensive they can be. my sister spends hundreds of dollars several times a year for hers. but now, with GlassesUSA.com, i can buy my own pair of quality glasses without breaking the bank.

in addition to their high quality glasses frames and lenses, GlassesUSA offers a 110% lowest price guarantee and a
100% satisfaction guarantee along with a generous

I found a pair of glasses that I LOVED almost 5 years ago. I still haven't replaced them because they look so damn cute! (and were so expensive) I switched to contacts a few years ago, but still think that glasses are a super cute accessory.

Joandy said...

I used to be obsessed with glasses when I was in grade school. Even though I didn't need them, I wanted the option of wearing them. I never thought about popping the lenses out of glasses and wearing them as is. DANG IT. Now, I have to wear glasses for computer work and reading, and now I don't like them as much. Go figure.

I usually wear contacts now, but I have two pairs of glasses I can break out. One pair is thick rimmed and dark, the other light and thin, for whatever suits me. A friend of mine buys old glass frames at the thrift store and pops out the lenses to wear them as accessories.

Unknown said...
