Hello Fabulous readers. This post is written on behalf of my
sponsor, VSP. This is a vision plan I
have used as a near-sighted freelancer for many years. If you work in the creative industries or
work as a consultant, you probably already know about VSP.
I come from a family used to wearing thick glasses. As a child, my dorky eyewear was a source of
nerdy embarrassment. In high school I
graduated to contact lenses. I never got
out of my head that glasses were a geeky look, but they were still a necessity.
(This is me at 13 years old in horrible frames and hair).
After going to college and entering the fashion industry, paying
for health care in New York as a single worker in a creative industry was
rough. Trying to upgrade my eyeglasses
for a professional, fashion forward look was even tougher. “Designer” frames were exorbitant, you had to
make sure your prescription was up to date and you still had to pay for contact
lens fittings and the lenses themselves.
As a non-profit vision care company getting a VSP plan was
definitely helpful to me. Their plans
started at about $17/month. Their plans
covered annual eye exams with low co-payments and a lot of convenient
optometrists near wherever my latest office was. They have allowances for glasses or contact
lenses. I wish I knew then, but happy to
know now that my new plan provided by them gives me access to all sorts of
designer frames like the stylish bebe collection above.
Now, with all of the gorgeous options you have to frame your
face, your glasses are as much a part of your fall wardrobe as much as anything
else. Go for a new accent color, a new silhouette or
maybe a new finish.
Once you have your smart new eyewear look, coordinate it
with an entire outfit and then win it all! Yes, enter VSP’s Pin It to Win It
and you could receive a year’s worth of VSP coverage and a new bebe ensemble
for fall. You don’t need glasses to see
how sweet that is…
