Since eyeglasses selection has been a pretty common topic around here RE: finding the style, shape and color that is most flattering, I wanted to find out how the rest of you are shaping your outfits around your specs or, for those of you who have multiple pairs, how you decide which pair you want to wear.

My prescription hasn't changed too much in the past four years, and I liked to get a new pair whenever my insurance would allow me to, so I currently have four pairs with prescriptions that are still pretty "useable" (I can see clearly enough to safely drive at night.) I also have contacts that I currently wear about 1/3 to 1/2 of the time. This is the collection & how I tend to wear them, but I am open to other ideas too.

1. Burgundy and turquoise (the most recent pair)
I haven't had them for very long, but because the turquoise is a secondary/accent color, I find myself wearing blue tops or necklaces to accentuate the shade. (Example 1 and Example 2. KristenKP mentioned that she tends to do just the opposite - she wears her turquoise specs with complementary colors instead.

2. Red angular frames
Red is so versatile that there isn't much that I *won't* wear them with. I have used them to accentuate a red accessory or a green top, add more color near my face, or even with a red dress in a predominantly red ensemble (the last was for Hanna's Clue color theme week.)

3. Half rims
These are an older pair that you haven't seen before - they were kept in my car as "emergency driving glasses" for the past year but I am rotating them back into use. To save money, I think I will probably end up wearing the rimless frames more often instead of contacts when I want something more minimal around my face.

4. Bronze "blingy" frames
The metal frames feel a bit heavy after wearing them for a few hours and I am a little bored with the shape, so I am going to use them for now as my "emergency driving pair.

How do you select which specs to wear?
