Request: close-up pics of you in your fabulous specs

I've been asked to write a post on how to choose the perfect pair of specs for Wednesday next week. YOU are much more compelling than models posing in eyeglasses, so if you can specs wearers, please post pics of you in your killer specs on this thread (close – up including part of your neck). A picture that is slightly angled is always good because that way we get to see temple detail.

I am unable to post bad quality pictures on the blog itself so it would really help if you could take really good pictures. I’d appreciate your help. If not, that's okay too :0)

Thank you!

Angie

Such beautiful specs, Hanna! Love them!

But the pictures are blurred and we can’t see enough of the specs shape from the front. This blog post is like a tutorial so it’s important that we can see the details I’m speaking of. Hope that makes sense. But thanks for being so prompt :0)

Angie, bless you for tackling this question. I wish I had your advice years ago when I was so clueless about picking out frames.

I'm not sure if any of these would meet your needs, especially due to lack of natural light & a bad habit of tilting my head to the side! Sorry...
Burgundy and turquoise: One and two
Red: One and two

Hanna, I love the lighter color of your frames. It's very distinct, partly because non-dark frames are really hard to find!

Let me know if you need a better picture.

OK, I just took a bunch. They are all very similar but I will let you decide which one, if any, is best. I do not have a photographer so I do these all myself and it's kind of difficult :p On top of that the frames have not been fitted so I had to adjust them a lot. Phew. Anyway.

P.S. I don't think I've ever seen so many stylish, hot frames together! You ladies have fab taste :)

That picture is so CUTE Dawn!!! Who took that picture? Did you take it yourself? I know alot of people just reach their arm out as far as it will go and snap away. I just love the picture of your face and your glasses. I love the expresion. This picture looks like it should be framed and hung in an art gallery!!! The new Mona Lisa!

My boyfriend took it. He's an amateur photographer so I always have a new Facebook profile picture each week from his shots.

Thank you Angie for working on this tutorial and to all of you for sharing your pics! I have one pair of crummy specs now and am currently shopping for a new pair (or two if I find a good deal).

Merry, LensCrafters has a bunch of promos going on right now:

Wish I could have found some specs there, but I'm happy with my choice even though it was more than I wanted to spend. They have a lot of nice frames if you have a regular sized face!

Thank you lovely lasses! I have a handful of pictures I can work with. I appreciate the help :0).

Loving the blonde hair, Ana.

Maya - thanks for the heads up. I was already hoping to make it there this weekend. My son started football this week so my schedule is crazy busy for a few months!

Thanks, Angie! The blonde hair makes me so happy! I'm getting a lot of compliments on it. :D I think it's definitely the most "me," and I think I will keep it blonde from here on out, hee.

I can't wait for your post on glasses! I think it will help a lot of people.

I have mellowed on the blonde Ana :) You know I love you as a brunette too, but I can see why the blonde is more "you." And it looks FABULOUS with your red specs.

Aw, thank you Maya! :D

Posted 3 months ago

Yay, Ana! You will always be a blonde to me :0). The colour is definitely settling.

Here're some Angie. Feel free to crop or not use at all. They are not the best shots. The bob-haired ones are at a Lakers game so I look over-excited... :)

These might be too late or not good enough, but this is my best effort!
