Glasses

Once every three or four years I order a new pair of glasses. This year I tried out a new purchasing option and bought a pair online. One of the advantages to buying through the company I used is that you can choose up to 5 pairs of frames to try on at home.

Well, Julia thought that was the best thing ever! She immediately became my model trying them all on and begging me to let her keep a pair. That didn't fly. But the next time we were near a Claire's I let her choose a pair so she could make her fashion statement.

I will admit that I thought it would be a short-lived infatuation. But I was wrong. She wore them for days and has continued to wear them regularly. The original pair suffered a tragic ending during a recent trip but have been replaced (to much delight) and are remaining a mainstay of her wardrobe.

All I can say is that while she looks adorable, I hope that she only ever needs them for fashion!
