\"LensCrafters\"
\nPhoto by xJAYMANx | Click to enlarge<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n

Well, as my second follow-up of my eyeglass frames post<\/a>, I finally went to LensCrafters<\/a> on Saturday the 21st. And yes, after 6+ frames, 4 assistants, 2 hours (from 11am to 1pm), and $750+ (six-month 0% financing) later, I ultimately decided on a Donna Karan clear-lens frame and Ray-Ban sunglasses frame, neither of which were my initial choices, lol.<\/p>\n

Why? Because not only the look, but the FEEL of wearing them (snugly) was crucial. Why not TWO identical Donna Karan’s? Well, they didn’t have a second pair, lol. So I took my next-best choice for my sunglasses. Here are my final nearly-identical frames below (sunglass lenses were simulated via Photoshop). Only 10 business days until pickup!<\/p>\n
