that has made me feel crappy about my appearance for quite some time, is my really ugly glasses. They aren’t ugly per se, they used to look nice, but that was a long time ago. First the plastic parts started looking dirty, but it was in fact parts of the plastic being worn off. Then something happened to the first layer of the glass. Which now makes my vision permanently blurry. Not too bad, but still. And, the glass always look like I don’t clean them, it sort of looks like I have put finger marks or something on the glass and not bothered to wipe it off, while in fact, the reason is that part of the glass is gone.
Of course, buying new glasses is not something I should be doing in my current job situation. Glasses are ridiculously expensive in Norway. But well, I’m thinking that when my vision is actually blurry, new glasses stops being just a luxury purchase. Plus, showing up at possible job interviews with glasses that looks like I never clean them is not the way to make a great first impression. And, well, they make it hard to put effort into my appearance and feel good about how I look. No matter how much makeup I put on, or how nice my clothes are, my glasses are right there in the middle of my face, looking ugly.
So, I have now found a shop that offered a payment plan, which means I can pay a little each month for a year rather than having to pay it all right away, and there were no extra fees or interest because of it. So today, I finally ordered new glasses, yay! In 7-10 days, I will look much better! That did cheer me up a little bit in the middle of all the depressing news.
I did chose some very neutral and almost boring ones though. I really wanted some cooler ones that made a bit more of a statement. But I couldn’t decide if I really liked them, or if they were a bit too visible somehow. And considering my financial situation, these glasses will probably have to last for some time. So I decided to go with some that I will be less likely to grow tired of or regret chosing. And then I can wear a big necklace or something instead when I feel the need to look more dressed up.
Really looking forward to finally receiving new, clean looking glasses!
