Shopping Is Hard

I don't like to shop, but sometimes if you really need/want something you have to put in the time and effort to find what you really need/want. In my case it is a new pair of glasses. I've been wearing these same glasses for about 5-6 years and figure that it is time for a new pair. I went to the mall this weekend with two friends. One of them was looking for glasses as well so we were focused on the task at hand. Once we got there I was a little overwhelmed. My friend started trying on pairs immediately, but I took my time. I hadn't thought about wire type frames or the big plastic type. These are very contrasting styles and I hadn't thought about it. I wear the wire type right now, but think a change could be good. To make a long story short I tried on a million pairs of glasses and got some quality feedback from my friends. Its always nice when people are flat out honest with you. They told me the ones they liked and the ones they didn't. There was no gray area.

Here's what I'm thinking though. I need a female opinion. The two friends who went with me were both guys. I think it will be good to get a female opinion to contrast with the male opinion. I want to make the purchase in the next few weeks, but I have trouble committing. These glasses are like an old friend. It will be hard to say goodbye, but it must happen. It will be uncomfortable, but it must happen.
