We are so lucky you have created this place for us. Thank you for everything.</p> <p>And Suz! I just saw your post--we must have been posting at the same time! I am so glad you like the burgandy. And I am glad to hear the blue looked good on you--I think we have similar colouring--so I am getting excited.<br />And statement? Yes, I know exactly what you mean.&nbsp;</p> <p>Astrid--Let's see, shall we?(grin) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-spectacles-of-colour/page/2#post-1316526 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 01:16:31 +0000 Astrid 1316526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad you're trying the blue ones too! I could see how those might be fantastic on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-spectacles-of-colour/page/2#post-1316368 Sun, 27 Jul 2014 21:22:33 +0000 Angie 1316368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>High five,&nbsp;Suz. You and I had EXACTLY the same opinion on these specs. We both swam against the tide in the same way.&nbsp;Hah. Fun. xo</p> <p>Sweet Alana, I didn't take offense at all. REALLY. You are 100% right. And Yay. Glad you are getting the blue too.&nbsp;Woohoooo. SO EXCITED for you. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-spectacles-of-colour/page/2#post-1316363 Sun, 27 Jul 2014 21:17:12 +0000 Alana in Canada 1316363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Angie! I do hope you didn't take offense at that remark--I didn't mean it that way at all. I do often suffer from foot-in-mouth disease--and I'm even more dexterous on-line!</p> <p>I am pleased you had time to explain your choice, though, it helps makes sense of it all. Looked at it that way, I'm convinced there is no other choice than #2&nbsp;(except the blue, maybe.) When they arrive, I will post the two side by side and solicit once again.</p> <p>Thank you ll so much. This has been fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-spectacles-of-colour/page/2#post-1316359 Sun, 27 Jul 2014 21:14:02 +0000 Suz 1316359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! Just read the comments. So interesting.&nbsp;</p> <p>Order the blue. It might be the best yet. FWIW I tried that blue (different style, but same colourway) and it was stunning on me. I had to force myself not to buy....(because I already own two expensive pairs of specs!)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-spectacles-of-colour#post-1316358 Sun, 27 Jul 2014 21:12:01 +0000 Suz 1316358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not reading the others' comments.&nbsp;</p> <p>#2 is fantastic on you! I love how the inner blue lights up your eyes, and with your wardrobe I think the burgundy would provide a lovely "zing."&nbsp;</p> <p>I like #1 a lot, too -- it has the same effect with your eyes on the insides....but it feels too "flat" with your hair to me and I think as you go more grey it will be worse rather than better, whereas the burgundy will look better over time.&nbsp;</p> <p>I don't like #3. Too warm and too unidimensional.&nbsp;</p> <p>But I have seen the blue colour that is not available and it might be wonderful also. It <b>could</b> read as too dark on you...but then again, it could read as a statement, if you know what I am saying.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-spectacles-of-colour#post-1316355 Sun, 27 Jul 2014 21:06:23 +0000 Angie 1316355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hah. We posted at the same time.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-spectacles-of-colour#post-1316354 Sun, 27 Jul 2014 21:05:19 +0000 Alana in Canada 1316354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Astrid--The glasses are actually one colour on the outside and another inside, so to speak. Glad you like #2.&nbsp;<br />Marley--yes, I hope we can see them soon!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-spectacles-of-colour#post-1316353 Sun, 27 Jul 2014 21:04:06 +0000 Angie 1316353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes. I can be quite the spanner sometimes, Alana - and the forum knows that. I am always honest and gladly swim against the tide.&nbsp;</p> <p>#1 is gorgeous too - just too much brown with your hair to my eye,&nbsp;</p> <p>#2 is best because the cool red lights up your face AND the blue brings out your eyes quite magnificently.&nbsp;</p> <p>#3 is too warm.&nbsp;</p> <p>The steel blue pair&nbsp;will probably be a slam dunk too.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-spectacles-of-colour#post-1316267 Sun, 27 Jul 2014 19:03:33 +0000 Marley 1316267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want to see the steel blue/dark orchid on you! &nbsp;I think those colors would look great with you hair and eye color! &nbsp;To me, the ones pictured are too "warm" for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-spectacles-of-colour#post-1316255 Sun, 27 Jul 2014 18:32:29 +0000 Astrid 1316255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, so I really thought I'd vote #1 because I love them in your first post, but I actually find myself liking #2 better. We hadn't seen the first pair from the side and from the front the color looks totally different. I'm not such a huge fan of the brown on you, looking at it from the side where you can see the true color better. I much prefer the burgundy. Those bring out your eye color too, in comparison to the first pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-spectacles-of-colour#post-1316239 Sun, 27 Jul 2014 17:53:15 +0000 Alana in Canada 1316239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>mtallen, thanks for weighing in!<br />Angie--you are a fish who swims against the tide. (But a big fish).&nbsp;Fascinating.<br />Karymk --thank you so much for providing your reasoning. It helps tremendously.<br />Neelie--ditto, thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-spectacles-of-colour#post-1316192 Sun, 27 Jul 2014 16:54:42 +0000 Neelie 1316192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the way #2 contrasts with your skin and hair instead of matches...but I'd like to see those blue ones too for the same reason, they may be even better.</p> <p>#1 blends in too much, #3 is too red...</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-spectacles-of-colour#post-1316179 Sun, 27 Jul 2014 16:41:19 +0000 karymk 1316179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alana, these are soooooo flattering on you as far as shape. &nbsp;Bingo!&nbsp;</p> <p>I like number one because it harmonizes so well with your hair and coloring.</p> <p>I like the second and third ones because they offer a contrast to your eyes that make them POP and look really bright. &nbsp;Out of those two I would choose number two because it is a cooler red shade that goes better with your cool hair and eye coloring.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-spectacles-of-colour#post-1316129 Sun, 27 Jul 2014 15:20:51 +0000 Angie 1316129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2</p> <p>Absolutely Killer Stunning. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-spectacles-of-colour#post-1316062 Sun, 27 Jul 2014 14:05:30 +0000 mtallen 1316062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 without a doubt? Does the best with your hair, skin tones and eyes! Bright, strong colors I think will be best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-spectacles-of-colour#post-1316058 Sun, 27 Jul 2014 13:58:46 +0000 Alana in Canada 1316058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's interesting, Sheila, thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-spectacles-of-colour#post-1316053 Sun, 27 Jul 2014 13:53:51 +0000 Sheila 1316053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm. I did not like #1 (thought it was too matchy-matchy with your lovely coloring). Did NOT like #2 but really liked #3. Am eager to see the specs you have on order...maybe they will be perfect! Thanks for sharing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-spectacles-of-colour#post-1316038 Sun, 27 Jul 2014 13:12:04 +0000 Alana in Canada 1316038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Jnet. Of all of these, I, too, prefer 1. For some reason, the others don't read well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-spectacles-of-colour#post-1315925 Sun, 27 Jul 2014 04:45:47 +0000 Janet 1315925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of what you've shown here, I far and away prefer #1 -- gorgeous with your coloring. Would be curious to see the others you'd have to order as well, but #1 is really nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-spectacles-of-colour#post-1315877 Sun, 27 Jul 2014 03:39:07 +0000 Alana in Canada 1315877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES, ADELFA! I am so glad someone else wants to see them. The website and reality are so different--and the person who "named" their colours was colour-blind, to put it politely. So who knows what they will look like! Cross your fingers they will be in stock and can be ordered. If so, they should be in store by Wednesday.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-spectacles-of-colour#post-1315866 Sun, 27 Jul 2014 03:34:17 +0000 Adelfa 1315866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree 1 is the best of what's here. But I'm dying to see the one that's not here. I think it might be amazing with your cool coloring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-spectacles-of-colour#post-1315806 Sun, 27 Jul 2014 02:53:08 +0000 Alana in Canada 1315806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Donna F--thank you. Excellent point about my hair. It is not going to get any darker. (Thank goodness. I had the mousiest "dirty blond" hair--I much prefer my silver!)<br />Sparks--thank you so much. Angie asked to see more colours, so I hope she has a chance to see this.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-spectacles-of-colour#post-1315789 Sun, 27 Jul 2014 02:34:56 +0000 sparks 1315789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep. I like the original number 1 best. The colour is a little softer for you. They're a fantastic pair of glasses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-spectacles-of-colour#post-1315776 Sun, 27 Jul 2014 02:24:54 +0000 DonnaF 1315776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 the best as it harmonizes with your coloring and will work over the years as your hair lightens; the other two might have worked before your hair started to go gray.&nbsp; I think the steel blue/dark orchid ones might be too dark for you such that you would only see glasses and not you.&nbsp; </p> <p>Again, this is all based on my monitor whose colors may be off. . .but those glasses sure are a nice shape on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-spectacles-of-colour#post-1315762 Sun, 27 Jul 2014 02:02:19 +0000 Alana in Canada 1315762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey, deb, you seem to be the odd woman out!
