I wish I still needed to wear eyeglasses, I wore them from a very young age up until I was around 20 and unlike a lot of kids — I actually loved wearing them, especially as a teenager, they were just another accessory and way to express myself.

I was sad when I was told it was redundant me wearing them, and as an adult I no longer had my parents to pay for them for me so I stopped wearing them.

That is until a few years ago when I discovered Zenni Optical, an online eyeglasses specialist who have had much recognition in recent times, even getting a nod in the New York Times.

They sell frames for as little as $8…at that prices, who cares that I don’t need to wear them? I have already had 3 pairs off of them with clear lenses and I am sure I will buy more in the future also.

I am tempted to go for these ones next, they are so delightfully nerdy that I fell in love with them the second I saw them. However I am not sure I could really pull off the look — I want to look nerdy cool, not nerdy nerdy.
