I think red specs somehow looks great on blondes and lighter eyes. You, Ana, and Anne have all proven this. </p> <p>For me, glasses just seem to follow different rules than clothes when it comes to color. I wear lots of red but I don't think I would want a very bright red on my face. The pair I posted were on the darker side, but even so I thought they might work. I think with my dark hair, eyes, and brows, I really need something lighter, but unfortunately most glasses are dark. </p> <p>OTOH, I usually hate how colors like lavender and sky blue, but I could see them working in a pair of specs. </p> <p>Anyway, petite glasses are slowly becoming more common. Anne Klein and Elizabeth Arden both make them. But IMO both leave something to be desired in terms of style. Very conservative. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attn-maya-my-glasses#post-78582 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 02:30:29 +0000 shiny 78582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry - I can't find the thread now! (Maybe because I cranked the point size up to far, LOL).</p> <p>I took a pic of myself in my 4-year-old, child-sized glasses for you. Please ignore the lack of make-up and the red face (I had some wine with dinner tonight). And they are pushed down my nose a bit, because I had my contacts in and it was all blurry! I think you can get the idea though.</p> <p><a href="http://s386.photobucket.com/albums/oo309/lookingfabat43/july%2009/?action=view&#038;current=christine15bday036.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s386.photobucket.com/al.....day036.jpg</a></p> <p>Like you, I would like something funkier, but I have lots of challenges finding glasses that fit (aren't too wide, and don't rest on my big cheeks and create indents) and flatter and are comfortable - even if I would pay and arm and a leg if I found such a pair! So it's not about price, I think. </p> <p>Anyway, I wear these often while working at home, but don't wear them out of the house much (maybe once every three months), so these aren't too bad. I think they are the right shape for my square-ish face, and I do like the color. I have had blue and green and purple and gold and bronze frames in the past, and this color is my favorite - to date. </p>
