New Glasses

Description

My entry for the "selfie" June 2020 challenge. I finally upgraded my decade-old glasses recently, though it took some back and forth since I did it through Warby Parker and the frames I initially picked in the at home try-on did NOT work out with my crazy high prescription. I took a picture a few weeks ago to show some friends who gave me some virtual input on what to pick.

Fun behind the scenes fact of making this page: I didn't originally intend to carry the stripes into the background, but the baby (whom you can see in the photo background) was sitting on my lap and bumped my hand while I was dragging the paper into photoshop for a different area, with reduced opacity. I liked the effect so much that I ended up keeping it. Thanks, Lucy! I also had to incorporate some mugs (tea for me, thanks, I'm not a coffee person at all), since I had something tea-related on my shirt.
