That Beautiful Blue Box

Girls know the one.

I've never been fortunate enough (hint hint love) to receive any jewelry from Tiffanys.  But I did treat myself two years ago to the most beautiful pair of frames from Tiffany & Co.  Now don't freak out... but yes, I paid over $500 for them.  Everyone thought I was crazy (and maybe I was) but I was truly in love with these glasses and I knew that they would be an accessory I would wear very often.  So I bought them, my eyes turned crazy and couldn't handle contacts, so I've had to wear them nearly every single day for the past two years.  So in my mind, they had paid for themselves over and over again, as that works out to less than $1 a day.  And I loved them!  Until a few months ago, when they started looking not so nice.  This weird white coating was covering the frames, and they looked pretty hideous.  I was embarrassed to wear them in public and missed my beautiful glasses.  Here is the yucky pair, the outside used to look like the inside.  Notice the difference?

But then I brought them in to where I bought them, and without any hassle at all, was treated to a brand new pair of my choosing.  They took one glance at the pair I had been wearing for the past two years, remarked how that should never happen to a Tiffanys product.  He apologized for not having the same pair in stock anymore, led me over to the locked case of Tiffanys glasses that they did have in the store, and told me I could pick any pair I wanted.  I was so excited.  So an hour later, this is the pair I walked out of the store with.  A $615 value for free.

I am so happy with them, and with the service I got.  My purchase two years ago is definitely paying off.  I just love that beautiful blue box. :)

(And I had to post about this because it was one of the greatest moments ever, sorry if I sound materialistic)
