I've been "tagged" by a few fellow bloggers to participate in a viral post revealing "5 things you don't know about me." However, over the past month or so since I was asked, I haven't been able to narrow it down a read-worthy list. I could write things you "didn't know," like... I'm not really this blonde. But, no shit. Or I could disclose that I drink skim milk with virtually every meal, even sushi. But then you would just blow chunks in your cubicle. One thing I've thought about mentioning is that, my entire life I have longed to wear glasses. However, I already expressed those feelings in a very amateur blog post once upon a time ago, it doesn't exactly qualify as a dirty little secret. I digress, although I have superb eyesight, I still wear glasses when I feel like I'm among enough people that are unaware of the fact that I don't need them they're fake. Although...the missing lenses should be a dead giveaway.
Enter Warby Parker, purveyors of all my four eyed fantasies. Their collection is tortoise shell heaven on earth and the epitome of geek chic. The best part is that you don't have to take my word for it. You can try out your favorite 5 pair at home for...FREE. After 5 days you pick & pay for your favorite, stick em back in the mail and that's that. Easy breezy mac n' cheezy.
These are the 5 I chose for my in-home trial. I think Tenley & Mallory are my favorites. Taking suggestions!
