The blue I'm getting it in is a little darker and it's twill, not velvet.

love it! I have one the same color to go with my gray couches! Not good for dog hair!

That's what I'm worried about, but I just didn't like the blue velvet as much. Having a white and orange cat and a black cat, I figure their fur will show on ANYTHING.

I've also bought 4 new pairs of fun glasses thru Zenni. I am tired of my basic frames. Now let's just hope I like them all in person.

How did you do this? Do you just get your prescription over the phone from your optometrist and then type it in? I want new glasses, but my optometrist is too expensive right now. Is this the place where you get frames to try on and mail back?

and a 200$ supermarket visit yesterday...and yes there are only 2 of us! I went  last week and did a full shopping as well

Our grocery bills are insane. We spent $250 at Costco 3 Fridays ago (I guess it's good that it lasted us 2.5 weeks at least?) and I've resumed a subscription meal delivery to make sure we're getting a few fresh veggies on a weekly basis. I mean, our eating out budget is nonexistent, but still. Going through checkout pretty much makes me gasp. We're only 2 people!

Yes - I know this is old, but I am buying so much food with us all home.

downtoearth, that's what I did. And then I measured my current frames to see what size "fits" on my face. There's an option to try on glasses on their website with your pic. They've also got a super return policy and great customer service.

Newest random purchases:
Eyeshadow pans and a palette from MAC
Le Creuset braiser (the smaller size)

Both arrived yesterday. The 6-pan palette is exactly what I wanted it to be and will work really well with another 6-pan palette I created from MUFE a long while ago. The braiser is just SO pretty. I was just staring at it last night and this morning.

I sent all 3 of my kids plants for their apartments, lol. I don't know why.

I also bought myself a new moon and stars necklace and another pair of sneakers I do not need I have about 20 pairs

Yes, you just need your rx # for each eye.
You take a measurement of your pupil distance with a ruler and that is about it.
The hard part, at least for me, is narrowing down my cart so i don't buy like 20 pairs of glasses.
There are sooo many cute styles for dirt cheap, including RX sunglasses.
