Glasses are so interesting to me. I mean, they can completely change the way a person looks. 

There is a girl I used to work with who wears her glasses every single day to every single occasion--whether casual or formal. In fact, I've never seen her without her glasses. (I'm convinced I wouldn't recognize her.) 

My vision began to decline a number of years ago, and it declined FAST. At that time, I was deathly afraid of putting contact lenses on my eyes for fear of them disappearing into the back of my eye balls (which by the way turns out is impossible--who knew!), so I bit the bullet and said, "Courtney, no matter how large your head is, you need to swallow your pride and risk drawing more attention to it by getting glasses."

I figured if I had to get eye glasses, I might as well give back at the same time. I heard of a company, Warby Parker, that donates a pair of glasses for every pair purchased and decided to check them out. 

After using their virtual try-on feature on their website (you upload a pic of yourself and can try different pairs of glasses on--it's quite accurate, actually), I decided to go with the Marshall. 

Not only is every pair under $100, they have a Twitter account dedicated to asking questions and getting feedback on what pair looks best for your face--and they're honest. 

If I wasn't already happily married to my company, I'd rendezvous with you, Warby Parker.
