I'm going to shop for specs tomorrow with two friends and my camera, so prepare for some pics. I feel really giddy, I hope I find some fab new ones! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-question-about-new-specs#post-375899 Wed, 29 Jun 2011 23:28:55 +0000 Astrid 375899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you! I'm going to post some pics if it's time to go shopping and hope I will be successful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-question-about-new-specs#post-375888 Wed, 29 Jun 2011 23:12:05 +0000 Angie 375888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Exactly! Follow the line of your brows too. Your specs search is off to a positive start! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-question-about-new-specs#post-375878 Wed, 29 Jun 2011 22:54:54 +0000 Astrid 375878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I see what you mean. Makes totally sense. And the thing with the shape of my brows isn't ideal either, from what I can see.</p> <p>I really like the color combo here, too. Although the orange probably isn't best for my skin tone. I still remember that I didn't like the black or really dark frames back then either. Blue sounds good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-question-about-new-specs#post-375877 Wed, 29 Jun 2011 22:46:36 +0000 Angie 375877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great! Thank you :)</p> <p>You need specs that LIFT the face. These frames droop a little on the sides - which is the opposite of lifting. Does that make sense? </p> <p>Plastic is great and so is the colour combo here. Try a blue too. No black! Nothing too hard. Keep the inside light to match your skin tone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-question-about-new-specs#post-375874 Wed, 29 Jun 2011 22:39:25 +0000 Astrid 375874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will take that to heart! </p> <p>I actually found the old pic that I took when I had them new in 2007 on my laptop. The second pic is the best (and most recent) pic in natural light I could find. I could take another photo tommorow in daylight, if that would be better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-question-about-new-specs#post-375861 Wed, 29 Jun 2011 22:11:53 +0000 Angie 375861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Astrid, specs can never look too stylish :)</p> <p>I'm excited about your new frames! Think you can take a close-up photo of the ones that you have? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-question-about-new-specs#post-375810 Wed, 29 Jun 2011 20:37:46 +0000 yellowgirl 375810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a really good question, Astrid! I recently bought glasses (I wear contacts 99% of the time and just needed a pair for back-up). Even then, I was asking myself all these questions. Glasses make such a big impact on a person's overall look. I can't wait to see what advice you get and to see which ones you end up with! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-question-about-new-specs#post-375724 Wed, 29 Jun 2011 18:30:15 +0000 Astrid 375724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have an appointment with the eye specialist next tuesday. I have my current specs since 2007 and have the feeling I'm not seeing all that good with them anymore, so I suppose I will be getting a prescription for some new ones. I read your post about choosing the perfect frames for your eyeglasses and it was already really helpful, so thank you! </p> <p>I wear my specs fulltime and I have only ever had one pair of specs at a time. My new ones will have to last at the least three years, so I need something that doesn't look odd in the future because it's too stylish. At the same time I want to have some stylish specs. I like the ones I have now, but I wouldn't choose them again. My face changed in these four years because I gained 20 pounds and I was generally really different back then. Not to mention that I had to shop my specs in a small town with a rather narrow selection. Now I live in Berlin and I will have a much bigger assortment to choose from. </p> <p>So I wanted to ask about the current styles and what's going to stay for a while. I'm fairly sure that I don't want to return to rimless specs again, but otherwise I'm really not sure what to look for. </p>
