i like a strong brow

For literally two years, I'd been on the prowl for some sturdy browline glasses, à la Malcolm X. My first pair, a cheapie costume iteration off of eBay, rocked but were only for show. I needed some spectacles that were well-made enough to handle prescription lenses. Vintage eyewear shops seemed the logical solution but yielded nada. Moscot's Yukiel, meanwhile, appeared promising but was contingent upon a visit to NYC to give them a spin. My paws were about thrown up in surrender when, lo and behold, Meggy from Fashion for Writers premiered her ivory frames from SEE. After she confirmed my inquiries of other colorways, I decided it was time to pay the retailer a visit. Long story of multiple visits (to ensure that this was the frame) short, I got myself some snazzy new specs. These are first pair I've ever had that actually possess enough pizazz to step out of the house in, and dang if it wasn't worth the two year wait.

P.S. Tall thanks are in order for Fumika and Katie at SEE's Harvard Square branch! Two of the sassiest and most charismatic people I've met, they adeptly answered my questions and listened patiently to my diatribes about not being able to find stylish frames for low nose bridge persons like myself. Two thumbs way up!
