From A:
Thanks to the other eyeglass-wearing employees in my office building, I've recently learned about a new resource for ordering glasses. It's called Coastal Contacts (not surprisingly, they also sell contacts), and it's fabulous!
Every once in a while, this website offers a freebie day, where a promotional code is shared through its Facebook page and 10,000 free pairs of glasses are given away that day. I participated in a freebie day last week. If you just get basic lenses and frames, you can get a pair of glasses for $15 which covers shipping and handling. I opted to also add a lens coating bundle (anti-glare, anti-scratch, and UV protection) for an additional $15. And here's how my glasses turned out:
The frame color is "taupe." Depending on the lighting, the frame usually either looks brownish or copper-ish, which I think is a good color for my complexion.
My favorite thing about Coastal Contacts is that you can get a one-time exchange on freebie glasses at no cost (a postage-paid shipping label is emailed to you). After one exchange if you decide not to keep your glasses, another postage-paid label is emailed to you and your entire purchase price (including shipping and handling) is refunded. So trying a new pair of glasses (or two pairs if you exchange the first) costs absolutely nothing.

Very cute. Might even motivate me to trade in the glasses I bought from the kids' section years and years ago.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! Looking forward to seeing them (and you!) in person very soon!
