Hip and groovy.

That is what Warby Parker is.

It is a company that sells boutique-quality, classically crafted eye glasses for 95 bucks! That includes everything, lenses and all!

AND THEY SELL A MONOCLE, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!

You may think this is silly, I think it is the coolest thing I ever. Full stop.

But the monocle is just the beginning of what makes this company cool. They sell glasses for men and women (all vintage inspired, because that is the cutting edge of hip and groovy these days…or so I’m told).

The founders of this company figured out a way to get around the few eye-ware giants who have a monopoly on the market and charge fools like me $500.00 for a pair of rummy glasses, by keeping everything on-line.

Well, my dad, Professor “hip and groovy” Kelly was gifted a pair of Warby Parkers for Christmas. This meant an eye-glasses fashion show for all of us to enjoy on Christmas morning. (As it is an on-line company, they send you several pairs to try on at home or you can do a “virtual” try on session on the website).

Or should I say “EYE-CANDY”!?!

You get the idea, the man is hip. groovy. and I will go as far to say, stinking cute!

These were the ones that got the collective “family vote”.

Hip, no?

Groovy, true?

For 95.00 bones we can all afford to be hip and groovy! Groovy-ness for one and all – that should be a Dawsome motto!

AND to top it off,

When you buy a pair the company will send a pair of glasses to a person in a developing country who needs ’em. So not only will you feel hip and groovy sporting your WPs, you will feel a warm glow knowing that your purchase has done a little bit of good in this world.

No need to thank me.

It’s been a pleasure.
