These are my new glasses!

They must be made for Vikings since the brand is called Birka, haha.

I've had my latest glasses since 2013 so after having them for 5 years it was time to upgrade and get new ones. I've obviously noticed that my sight has changed and gotten worse for a while now so it was about time. My Mom knew about that so she told me to book an appointment when Synoptik had a 50% offer on the glass (the actual glass in the glasses) so I did that right away and was able to take advantage of the offer. My eyesight is pretty bad (but not as bad as my Mom's which is lucky for me I guess) so it usually costs more than 2000 kr just for the glass alone, without the actual glasses frame and any insurance or anything so a 50% offer was welcomed! Synoptik is the optician we always go to and it's the best one in my opinion.

After they had done the eye examination I apparently spent more than 40 minutes in the store looking at frames so my Mom got a bit tired, haha. I think I tried on about 15 different ones until I found the best ones that I ended up choosing. Except for my first glasses, all my glasses have always been kind of the same style so far. Since I'm such a perfectionist and believe I've found the style I like and that I feel comfortable in, I always want new glasses to be as similar as possible to my latest glasses which can be hard since the glasses world is also part of the fashion world so there are always new trends for frames as well.

 

Anyway, I managed to choose a pair of Birka frames in the end which are now my new glasses! They were available in both black and purple, and I really liked the purple as well but I ended up choosing the black ones since black frames are what I'm used to and black will always fit with my red hair and any clothes I wear. When I got my new glasses I got used to them and started to really like them right away (even though I'd had bad decision agony over them during the 1-2 weeks I had to wait until I got them), and now I'm really happy with them!
