I have only one bad eye too, but for me it's my right eye that's bad and my left eye that's perfect. I have a astigmatism, I don't know if that's what you would have too though, but I don't really know a lot about it except that my right eye is like miss curved or something. There used to not be contacts designed for it but now there are several options out there.

 

I've heard of Warby Parker before, not much of a fan of their style, but I love how they let you order frames to try-on before you buy. More online retailers need to take that approach.

No, I'm near-sighted and cross-eyed, I think. The issue is just that what I see with one eye doesn't really stack with what I see with the other.

Bought me some Chinos: http://www.hallensteins.com/product/IFD-Brooklyn-Stretch-Chinos?i=7758677&v=7762070

 

I looked like a was a homosexual in the khaki ones.

 

Good luck with those, that IFD stuff is pretty low quality. All I can say is don't buy the IFD jeans, they lasted me like 2 months before they ripped.

 

Also to chime into the eyesight conversation, I'm similar to Steve. My left is perfect, but my right is awful. So it means I pretty much have monocular vision, but I haven't bothered to do anything about it. I tried to learn how to use a contact like 4 or so years ago, but didn't like it. I'll probably end up getting glasses soon, mostly for reading and watching tv. When I play Ps3 etc, I have to sit pretty close to the tv...

I went around this morning to a couple shops and tried a few pairs of the style I had post earlier. One of them actually had one of the Persols but they didn't fit my face that well. The pictures are not that great since there all close ups with my phone's front camera.

 

The first two are some random pairs the crazy lady at the store wanted me to try on but they ended up working fairly well with my face. The top right pair is an english brand, they felt pretty nice on my face. The bottom left was the shops own speciality frame, and the bottom middle is an Oliver Peoples frame, and probably my personal favorite.

Yeah, I like that last one best.

None of them work

I've had my IFD jeans for over a year and a half and they haven't ripped...

I might see the optometrist early July about contacts because its started to get kinda annoying.

 

Also booked into dentist next week for a checkup and a scraping. (clean)

maybe something more square-ish? you have an oval face so something more rigid might look better.

I've been wearing rectangular horn-rimmed glasses for a several years now, I'm just trying to get something a little different.

I think dark tortoise looks better on you than light tortoise, and thin frames are nicer too. I agree with Faux though, something more rectangular would look better IMO.

Current glasses:

They're like a medium tortoise and I actually rotated this picture so my face isn't flipped.

That looks best. Why don't you stick with those, or with a similar style?

I'm just bored of the style. I've been wearing glasses of this style for about 6 years now, I just need something different to rotate between.

Something just seems......off in every picture of you in glasses. I think it's just the open-mouth stare thing throwing me off though,

Yeah, they really don't make me look good, super close up, more or so amplifying the negatives. I ended up buying the Oliver Peoples frame today but in a smaller size that fit my face better. Just need to get the prescription lens made, and I'm good to go.

So I bought a suit. It's not the most amazing suit in the world, but it's going to work for what I need. It's getting fitted, I'll show you guys what it looks like in a week or so.

Looking at shoes... I don't care about style so much, but I have no clue what is out there. I'd like something slip on, should come in a wide size. I'll be in Portland for the next week so I'll be able to go to some stores to try stuff on. Thinking something like one of these:

Have also looked at Toms... so I'm totally open to ideas.

Not cheap, but they're made to last, as is not the case with Vans or Toms. They can accommodate whatever width your foot is (it's in the order form).

Toms are pretty bad shoes....

 

My theory is that you can spend money on shoes that you know will last for a long time. Since your feet generally stop growing once you get older, you only buy new shoes when the ones that you have wear out. Spend the money on the shoes that will last longer.

I love my toms, but they're not great in cold weather, I basically consider them a closed toe sandal.Personally if your not interesting in a specific shoe, I'd simply recommend having a field in a shoe department somewhere just trying on a bunch of different styles that interest you to see what you like.

if you're talking about boots or formal shoes, i agree

 

but if it's just sneakers, get as many different ones for cheap and that's fine. easier to mix and match with clothes.

 

maybe sperry topsiders? they're $70-90 though

Even when it comes to casual shoes you're better off spending a little bit than a lot in the long term. Gets truer as you get older and stop wearing skate shoes and such though--I can't see a 14 year-old wearing penny loafers to school.

I've got 3 pairs to denim cut offs sitting in my wardrobe I don't wear (Made them myself). I want to be creative and do something with them, since it's the holidays. What do?

Nothing. Jean shorts are really not that great. Burn them?
