The new specs!
Remember when I needed your opinion? Everyone gave great advice, by the way. Well finally, I chose the pair I liked best, had my eye exam and ordered them.
I'm trying to get used to the new look, having really dark frames now. I even wore them to work today, which is a big step for me because I don't like how I look in glasses generally and it can have this dizzying effect when the tops and bottoms of your view are blurry. That doesn't happen with contacts because everything is clear no matter what.
Alas, I chose pair A! Pair B was cute and had a little of the cat eye funky flair to it, but ultimately, we decided those were a bit too narrow for my face. I have a big face and noggin'...I'm about a 7 1/2 if we're talking hat sizes.
It's definitely going to take some time to get used to them. Not sure if I'll wear them regularly, but it is fun to change it up once in a while. Because of how much I'm running, doing yoga or jumping around at Lifeforce Fitness, contacts will still be my vision staple.
I always think glasses/contacts sort of define you as a person. People get to know you as the person who does or does not wear glasses. I felt the same way with long hair. It was so hard to go short because I'd always seen myself as a long haired girl. Weird how that works.
Are you a glasses/contacts/short hair/long hair kind of person? Now I can see myself both as short and long hair and like both. But I'm still not convinced on being a glasses person just yet.
Anywho, that's all I've got today. We have a SPEED workout on deck tonight with the running group. Tonight's workout is a version of the infamous "Michigan" workout alternating 5 min tempo with hard intervals of anywhere from 400-1200m. We'll see how I survive!

I rarely wear my glasses for a lot of the same reasons - jumping around to different workouts at different times of the day. I do try to wear my glasses around the house because it gives my eyes a break from the contacts!
I usually grow my hair out and then get frustrated with it and then hack it off. I do this every time. I'm actually in the process of growing my hair back out to my wedding length.
I am a contact person... but I got new glasses last winter and wore them to work on a rest day last month and got tons of compliments. So I will prob start wearing them on my rest days more often! (I'm w/ you having to wear contacts on days when i work out).
I don't feel like I have a hair identity. My hair length has been all over the place the last couple of years. For the longest time I was a short hair person but now I think I am morphing into a long hair person!
When I had short hair and glasses...my husband called it the naughty librarian look. Hee, hee. Anyway, I have not been wearing my glasses because they irritate the bridge of my nose. It is nice when I can really see, but such a nuisance. My hair is now long because I hated to get it cut every 4 weeks, especially when I was ready for a cut at week 3. Long hair is so much easier when you run...
And it just so happens, that if I DID wear glasses, I would pick ones that were just like yours. Square-ish and black :)
I wore my hair VERY long up until high school and then chopped most of it off and kept it short since then. I like the look of soft, long, flowing hair but I love the ease of short hair! It's so much more manageable. :)
I love the look of short hair, but I'm too lazy to "do" it everyday, so long usually wins ;)
I'm not a glasses Or contacts person, yet. The day will come, I'm sure...
