Impulse shopping striked again today. I've been getting tired of my pair of glasses for quite some time. Due to mostly laziness, I put off getting a new pair for years. If my memory is correct, I purchased this pair way back in 2001. I'm definitely long overdue for a change.
In preparation for some serious frame-shopping, I put on my contact lens today and headed out to the stores. As luck would have it, the first store that I visited does not open on Sundays. No matter, I went over to Times Square in Richmond Hill since there are at least three stores to visit. I personally do not like Fuji Optical so I made a beeline to Ola Optical instead. I've always enjoy browsing their window display and figured they probably carry some more fashionable frames. My pet peeve is that some stores simply do not cater to the young crowd. It's most frustrating to walk into the store only to find very very conservative frames available. Luckily, Ola Optical carries stocks that lean towards funky. After trying on about fifteen to twenty different frames, I found one that I really like and it's vastly different from what I've been wearing all these years. I'm looking forward to get my eyes-examination done so that I can have my new glasses as soon as possible.
I think with my new glasses, it would be like a mini makeover!
