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.

#2 or #3 fit your face better than #4 or #5

I think 2 & 5 look best on you. Happy choosing!

#4 was my instant pick. Also like #6. These frames are lighter and I think it goes better with your light hair. Just a personal preference.
I'm in the market for new glasses and think I will try this also! Thanks!

#2 all the way! They add so much to your look. They make your features pop. Being a long time eyeglass wearer, this looks amazing to try. Have fun.....

Love Nos. 2 and 3, but I think 3 wins out as my favorite!

Love #5 - it's the most flattering to me. I also like 6 and 1 (if you like the invisible look). You are beautiful, no matter which frames you choose.

That looks like a fun way to buy glasses. I like #2 best.

I like #6, but I think you're going to pick #1 :)

Ali I really liked #1 and #3. #1 was very natural looking and not such a standout (little color). #3 had color that looked good as week as the style of the frame. It didn't take away from your face. Just my two cents since you asked! :-)

I totally relate to picking out glasses. I feel so rushed and I also keep them a very long time. I like 2,3, and 6.:)

How fun!! I like #2 and #5 best on you, because they are DIFFERENT than the glasses I usually see you wear and change is fun - and they are FUN - and fun seems to be something you're having more of these days. So there ya go!
I'm sure you will get votes for every pair and it will get hard to pick so go with your gut - not your rut! : D
Love you!

#1 is my first choice
#3 is second

#1 - I think they look best prolly bcz they r plain, but #3 and #6 are cute too! Def lighter color frames go better with your more fair/blonde look, the black kind of sticks out. But change is good too!

I too hate buying glasses - I can never decide. I like #6

Number 6. It is the hippest pair and makes you look younger.

I love 2 and 6 on you :)

2 and 3 are nice and classic. I like 3 best from those two. But my fav. is 6. Of course your playful pose might be a subliminal influence. Have a bit of character to them.

I like 3 because it isn't a stack black. 4-6 are too big for your face. 1 takes me back to hippy days in the 60's.

Hi Ali, That is such a neat idea for that company to do that. Are you going to pick a couple different pairs? I like #!, #3 and #6.

I like 3 the best. I like the shape and color on you.
