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 don't exspecially care that I have to wear glasses...but I do..I want to wear contacts but they don't seem to work:( Cannot see out of them very well:( AND I do not like the picking out process at ALL!!!!!!!!!!!! So which I like:)
I have to say NUMBER #4 AND NUMBER #6.
They are both different than your "norm" and I have to say whenever I go alittle FUNK I always get compliments. And the bigger glasses are way in right now.

I hated my first pair of glasses and never wore them or got them replaced for like seven years. When I finally needed new glasses to actually see I went to a place that helped me select and fit a pair I loved. It's been two years and my insurance will now cover new frames but I'm afraid to do it. I figure I'll never find a pair that fits so well. So I just keep putting it off.
What about adjustments? Did they really fit well right out of the box?
I like 2 or 3.

I have to say #1--they look like they belong on you and you look more comfortable in them than the other options.

What a tough choice. I've been putting off my eye appoinment for this very reason.
I think 1 gives a very timeless/sophisticated (but not stuffy)look, but 2 gives a more trendy look. I would vere towards no. 1 . . . they seem to be a little different than ones you've had in the past.
Good Luck!!

No. 6

I think you're too young for 2 and 3. They're a little matronly. I like no see'em 1 or hip 6. I'd love to know what Katie thinks.

2 or 3. I have the exact same issue when trying to find a new pair of glasses... why does it have to be so hard?!? I'm due for a new pair soon and keep putting it off :/
