11:11 - Make a wish!
Since I turned twenty-six last year and came off of my parent's insurance, I have slowly realized the challenges of making my own doctor, dentist and optometrist appointments. It's not the one-stop shopping that I was used to, so having to check what doctors, dentists, lady doctors (oh my!) are in my network can be a crazy-pain.
Just a few weeks ago I had a certain urgency to make an eye-appointment as I was down to my last pair of 2-week replacement contacts. How I possibly went two years on a year's supply of contacts is unknown to me, but also highlights the huge issue that I keep my "old" contacts in for too long, often fall asleep in them and have my eyes screaming for oxygen most of the time they're open.
At the same time that I scheduled the appointment, I magically received an email in my inbox from Firmoo because somehow, some way they knew that I would love some new glasses in my life. They probably also guessed that I would pick out the most hipster pair possible since I live in Portland - and they were right!
Don't you agree?
I was so excited to get these glasses at my home and once I got them - a contact lens didn't touch my eyes for days. The man-friend (from Tennessee) finds them a little too hipster for his taste, but I'm not in Tennessee, they're the right prescription and I seriously love the nerd that they bring out in me - so expect to see this lady as a friendly four-eyes from here on out!
I'm a little nervous for the first time I plan to wear the glasses to work because I want to have the right outfit (flannel / vest / lace up boots) but I also want people to recognize me. Either way I'm sure they'll think I'm wicked smart (and fashion sensible, right babe?)
Thanks Firmoo for the excellent service, the next time I need glasses I'm coming your way!
*I was given prescription glasses in exchange for a review on my blog - all opinions are my own and all selfies are shameless.

Love the glasses! I've always been a huge fan of glasses vs. contacts. I just can't do contacts. I tried them for a year and went right back to glasses!
leaving the parents insurance is NOOOOO FUNNN!!!!!!
Love the glasses!
Eeeek! Two years on a year's supply?! I change my contacts religiously every two weeks. I used to be horrible about that until I realized that they just feel so much better if you change them when you're supposed to. You're looking super cute in your new glasses!
being an adult is hard! I love your glasses, you look so great in them!
you pull off hipster well. in fact they dont even look hipster to me. i have been in pdx too long
Love the ones your chose!!
You look totally cute in your glasses! Love them! I need to make an eye appt so bad!!! I need to get contacts, for the first time. My eyes are getting old and I was in denial. My glasses aren't enough. Sigh.
Super cute glasses! Super cute Jessi! My eye Dr. told me all contacts are created equal and you don't have to switch them every 2 weeks if you keep them clean. I go a year with mine, too!
seriously minus the contacts this exact thing happened to me. i needed new glasses and they emailed me, talk about luck! i think mine might be a little more hipstery than yours ;) jk. love them!
The glasses are way too cute on you!
Sometimes I wish I really needed glasses in order to be able to pick out some cool frames. You definitely look Hip!
