Does The Frame Make The Man Or Woman?

Well folks it’s that time of year… time for new glasses. If you are anything like me, picking the right pair of frames is crucial. I have to find the right balance between stylish and professional and something that I can afford. Every year I feel this pressure to pick my frames and place my order right away. I decided that this year it was going to be fun. I called a couple of friends and formulated a plan. We would go look at frames together and then go to lunch. No pressure just good times with good friends.

A couple of weekends ago we put our plan to the test. We went to five offices, wrote down some styles, took a couple of pictures and laughed. Over our lunch, the conversation changed from what we had seen to how the frame that you choose is a reflection of you and or your status.

I look for style and not brands, however in contrasKarlt one of my friends will only wear a name-brand frame, this year he was predetermined to buy Karl Lagerfeld frames. When I inquired why, he explained that as an artist they project to the world that he is successful.

I am not sure how much growing up in a small Oregon town, where name brands weren’t an option has helped sculpt my personal style, however when I shop it’s more important that I like the product than who makes the product.

What do you think? Does the name on the frame make the man or woman?

I did pick out new frames… want to see? Well you will have to wait just a little while more. ;-)

Everyone here is talking about the new VSP site seemuchmore.com. I’ve spent a great deal of time on there clicking every moving object, answering poll questions, and cruising around making sure I haven’t missed a single image, quote or fact. My favorite graphic is the hot air balloon with the money that drops down, because after all, who doesn’t want money dropping from the sky? I decided chronicling my journeys on the site would be a good way to highlight just a few of the things that caught my attention. And, maybe, inspire YOU to check it out too!

August 18, 2009: First look at seemuchmore.com. I was immediately intrigued by the color scheme, graphics and the concept behind the site. I watched the dad and son graphic for a few minutes, then clicked into the site. The plane image with the “See Eye Care Tips” banner was practically screaming to be clicked first, so I succumbed and my attention was immediately caught by the tip that popped up: “Wear sunglasses when exercising outdoors to protect your eyes from harmful UV rays.”
