The Search For Glasses | Say Hello To David Kind
Last month I received an email with an invitation to try a different way to purchase eyeglasses from a new company called David Kind.
Here's the deal: I don't love that I need to wear glasses and I don't particularly like the process of picking out new glasses. I find I'm usually in a hurry - get in, get out. I also tend to wear my glasses for a long time until they are riddled with scratches or I need a new prescription. I rarely have more than one pair at once.
When this invite came through I thought it sounded like a fun way to test out some new frames and they have a super classy website and I like the idea of this kind of service and let's be honest, I can almost always use a style update.
David Kind is set up a bit like Stitch Fix.
After you sign up you upload a photo of yourself and any information you want them to know and enter your credit card information and then a stylist chooses six different pairs of glasses for you and mails them to your home. Free styling and free shipping.
And I loved their mission statement: Our mission is to provide the highest quality frames and lenses, hand selected to match your facial features and personal style by a friendly, qualified, real person. We provide people with glasses they look great in, lenses they see better through, all via unparalleled customer service.
Yes.
They arrive in a beautiful box (felt like Christmas) and then the fun of trying them on begins.
Now here's where I'd like some help from you guys. Which one do you like on me?
After trying them on and writing a couple notes on each pair on the cards provided you can pick one (or more) pairs to purchase.
You send the box and the glasses back and include your prescription and they will send you back your new glasses.
Trying them on was super fun. Having them here in my house for a few days was a much better experience than the pressure of being in the glasses store and feeling like I needed to make a quick decision.
So what do you think? I've got my personal favorite and so does Katie. I'll share the final result after I hear from you guys.

I like #3 and #5.......I also wear glasses, have since 3rd grade, put them on first thing in the morning, take them off last thing at night, hate the process of picking out new frames, this sounds much more civilized......might need to check them out......

well I like 1 and 4 but they don't seem to be very popular with the other ladies. I think this might confuse you even more!

#3 looks like "you" to me, but something different could be fun too. I can't wait to see what you choose.

The frameless ones in #1 are extremely "in" here on the east coast, DH just got them -- titanium for the metal bits that are there; and then I like #5, very smart looking. I admit I have chosen the two with the most similar facial expressions....

Really great idea. I hate picking out new glasses too. I will be looking into this. My favorite for you are #1 and #3....

I really like #3 but I kind of agree that most remind me of glasses I've seen you wear in your photos before... hope you like the ones you choose!

I haven't read all 350 comments but from a quick scan can see I am in the minority as I think #4 are darling on you!!! 6 would be my second pick. Love this idea. Thanks for sharing.

#5 & #6 definitely! Love them on you.

I wear glasses all day long. I usually wear my frames a long time too because I hate trying to find new glasses. At the risk of confusing you further, I'd encourage you to see if any stores in your area carry Italee frames. I started wearing their frames about a year and a half ago and love them so much that I can't imagine ever wanting another pair of glasses. They are lightweight (only 2.5 g) and the especially nice thing is that lens shape and colors for all parts can be customized to your desires. I like colors, so mine are very colorful, but not at all over the top. They also do muted, earthy tones. Their web site and a Google search isn't very helpful regarding how they really look. Also, Darby Parker also does the try glasses at home. http://www.warbyparker.com/home-try-on
Good luck deciding!
