Playing Pretend

As a kid I wanted braces when I didn't have them, I wanted to walk with crutches when I didn't need them and I wanted glasses even though I could see just fine. I think this stemmed from a yearning to be different. Different from the every day me. I used to take the waxy sticks from Blow Pops bend them and pretend they were retainers. When I sat down to eat dinner I'd be all, "Ummm I have to take my retainer out" (Being a kid is so effing weird). There was also a good few months in which I wore glasses with no lenses. What a fashion statement I was making!! (Okay I'll admit that I was not a kid, but a teenager when I rocked that look).

And although my peepers do not require them, as an adult I still wear glasses to change it up from time to time. (And play make-believe. Stop judging me!) They dress up jeans and a t-shirt, and/or act as a distractor when I have zero time to put on a stitch of makeup. That's why I was so pumped when Firmoo Glasses contacted me to do a product review. I was actually in the market for some glasses when I got the email. COSMOS ALIGNING!

When I got them my first thought was they are much nicer than your typical "nerd glasses" you can get at F21 or the like. They're a bit heavier than those flimsy plastic ones. They came with a hard aaaaand soft case. Now I truly get to feel like I'm a genuine glasses wearer (enthusiastic winky face). These were a safe choice for me because I wanted some glasses with a more classic style. And you can "try the glasses on" by uploading a pic of yourself. I was so tempted to upload a pic of my dog. She never wears glasses long enough in real life for me to get a good photo. Even though I tell her she looks super sophisticated. Rude.

Now for the perks for YOU! If you go here your first pair is freeeeee as a barn swallow! (You have to choose from a certain "free" group. Honestly the selection isn't that great right now, but they change it up, so check back if you don't see anything fabulous). When you do find ones you like, you only have to pay shipping. Also, they are returnable if they make you want to puke. Which they WON'T! They'll make you want to do the opposite of that...which is.....dance!
