Okay, so as I’ve mentioned here before, I have terrible vision. The worst. Well, not the worst worst, because that would be no vision at all (obviously) but, you know. It’s up there. I’ve had to wear glasses since 3rd grade, and got contacts in 8th because all the cool kids were. Plus, contacts are awesome. More recently, I have actually learned to embrace my glasses more (I actually have a review coming up of my new glasses!) and have started to realize that they really aren’t half bad. In fact, glasses can be super trendy and even- dare I say- stylish?! I mean, if you think about it, glasses are literally the only fashion item that you can get insurance for! Mind-blowing, I know.
Speaking of insurance, it’s a really sucky thing to need it and not have it. Those out-of-pocket bills can be really costly, especially when you need glasses for medical reasons, like me and my astigmatism. This is where my beloved VSP Direct vision insurance comes in. It’s a life-saver. And also, a wallet-saver. It’s super affordable and covers my yearly supply of contacts or lets me pick out a new pair of glasses to fit my personality and personal style. That’s what it’s all about, isn’t it? Like, there’s no way I’d go back to having a pair of purple framed glasses like I did in 3rd grade. Oh, how times have changed. I shudder just thinking about it. Thankfully my style has evolved from those days, and now I have super cute glasses. Thanks to VSP, I can afford those cute glasses, since it’s the lowest out-of-pocket cost in vision care, which I think is awesome. We’re talking as low as 41 cents a day. No rip-offs here!
I had some fun creating this cute outfit complete with stylish glasses and Nine West goodies. VSP Direct and Nine West have partnered up to bring you a super fun sweepstakes!

I wear reading glasses and would buy a work tote if I won!!
Yay for glasses! And their totes are so cute, love them!

beautiful! i love my specs, just hate wearing them when I’m doing hair though because the frames being in my peripheral vision bothers the crud outta me. I’m not super blind though, so I can get away with it. Yours in the photo are adorable as is the outfit your whipped up on polyvore. LOVE <3 Hope you're doing well 'mama bear' ;)
Haha I know EXACTLY what you mean about the hair thing. SO annoying! And you are just the sweetest!! Thanks love, I’m doing well!! :)

I am SUUUUPPPEERRRRR blind and haven’t gotten any new glasses in like 7 years lol. I mainly wear my contacts. Id definitely get some more boots if I won =). Fall is my favorite shoe season!
YAY boots!! Nine West has some really nice ones, too! :)

Absolutely love the outfit you created and you look so dang cute in glasses (I wish I did). Luckily, I don’t need them.. yet? Who knows what the future has in store (; If I won I would most likely buy boots but I’m in need of a jacket.

Aw thanks Cecilia!! :) I’m sure you would look so adorable in glasses! It’s all about finding the right shape/size for your features! And I am like you- boots all the way ;)

I would definitely get some more boots! :-)
You can never have too many boots! ;)

Love the outfit you made!! Super cute!! I started wearing classes in 5th grade, now I’m blind without them or my contacts hahaha. I had Orange glasses for the longest time, and need to get the lens updated because my vision keeps getting worse, but now I have a pair of black ones with some big lens so I can see EVERYTHING :). I would have to go for some boots or accessories!!
Whooooaaa orange glasses?! So cool. haha ;) I love big glasses! The nerdier, the better, I say!

I started wearing glasses in grade 4 and my first pair were purple too! The kind with frames so huge they touched the tops of my cheeks. Yeah…the 90s were great. I mostly wear contacts now too but every now and then I’ll go back into a glasses phase.
I love the bag you shared in this post!
Ohh 90s glasses. The BEST. haha ;)
