Last Thursday’s post I showed pictures of the 5 frames from Warby Parker that I chose to try on at home. They showed up on Tuesday and now here are what they looked like on my face. Below are the Warby Parker images of the frames and when you hover over them you can see what they looked like on my face. I don’t know if it the lighting with me sitting in the desk chair with natural window light from the upper left or what, but almost all of the frames looked nothing like what they looked like on the web.

The last photo, Wilder in Squall Blue Fade, is a picture of what I’m wearing right now and they are nearly 6 years old. I’m using them because the ones I’ve been wearing for the last four years, a set of Lyle in Beach Glass, broke on Halloween evening.
Right now the leading contender for my next set of glasses is the first one, the Dawson, which has a different color on the front of the frame compared to the earpieces, but I’m now totally sold on them. As soon as this set of frames make it back to Warby I’ll get a second set sent out to me to try four more different frames and the Dawson again.
