a new look

I wear contacts most of the time; I use my glasses to navigate safely from the bathroom to bed after removing the contacts, and back to the bathroom in the morning to put them in again. I haven't needed new ones in over a decade. At a recent eye exam my doctor gave me a new prescription, so this week I updated my lenses and frames. It's kind of fun to have a new look, even if I'll hardly ever (if ever) leave the house in them. I find it hard to drive in glasses.

You look fabulous, as always! I think you should wear them more often ;) I don't wear contacts or glasses and I always kind of wanted to.

You look fantastic in your glasses! Did you also change your hair color. It looks darker. I like it!

I love your look, Lecia! I wear glasses 24/7 - gave up on contacts in college because I just wasn't responsible enough to keep 'em clean and take them out every night. :( Now that I'm 40, though, I'm thinking about trying contacts again - I should be able to handle the responsibility by now, right??!

Great new glasses....and adorable shirt. Hi, I'm Lauren. I've been following your blog for awhile now. I enjoy your photos and simple, heartfelt text. I'm a new(ish) mom to a son named Luke and your family allows me to daydream about the future with more awesome boys! Thanks for sharing moments from their lives with me.

i LOVE them!!

i've been longing for glasses for years, but my eyes just won't budge from 20/20. been thinking, of late, that i'll just need to buy a pair of blanks.

Thank you so much!!

Molly: you crack me up.

likeschocolate: my hair lightens with the sun; something we haven't had much of, lately. Also, these photos were taken indoors; the lighting makes things appear darker.

Lecia - it's a whole new you! Love the bangs, the glasses, the PNW-vibe plaid shirt. What a transformation! Very cute.

Christina said...

What all of those above said. Beautiful, beautiful Lecia--outside and inside! (And how brave of you to pose for those photos, but then again, you're still young!)

Those are super-cute! They look especially nice with your bangs cut like that.

I haven't had new glasses in about that long...and need to go have my eyes checked SOON. I've been delaying for a ridiculous amount of time.

Very chic! And I LOVE your hair color and cut! xo

Sherri said...

OMG! It's been too long since I've seen you because I thought the new look was your bangs. Let's walk or have coffee soon. xoxo.

Thank you, friends!

Sarah: not sure what you mean by 'PNW' shirt - it's JCrew :) - but thanks :)

Sherri: emailing you now....

Sarah said...

It makes you look very much from Seattle - I think it's the plaid?! (PNW = Pacific North West) With the bangs, the glasses and the shirt - you match your blog I think - arty, thoughtful, modern
