You go Girl- I wouldn't even recognize you-<br /> Like Dorothy said &lt; "We're not in Kansas anymore!" Not that there's anything wrong with Kansas- but you remind me of when the Wizard of Oz changed to color- and I couldn't resist the Kansas reference </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beckys-new-specs#post-16406 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 22:41:50 +0000 Anonymous 16406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I looked at your picture in your new glasses, what came to mind was, my you have beautiful eyes.

They are perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beckys-new-specs#post-16276 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 03:08:14 +0000 Becky 16276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all! I am overwhelmed with your kind comments! *blushing yet again* I was very excited about the glasses when I picked them out, but I was worried about the color possibly being too dark after I actually got the glasses and saw myself in them in natural light. I think I just needed to let my eyes adjust to the new look, since it is *so* much more bold than before. I actually switched back and forth between the new and old pairs to compare and now when I put the old ones on I think, "Ugh. How dull." I'll never go back! I went to a school reunion Saturday night (the night I snapped the pic) and felt confident and fab. So, yes, I do like them, I'm just still at the stage where I *need* YLF confirmation before I accept a new look without reservation. For those of you wondering, the brand is Juicy Couture and the style name is "Viva La Juicy Couture." I don't know whether I will work on building an eyewear collection, since I hope to have laser surgery in 4-5 years, but I'm happy with this pair for now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beckys-new-specs#post-16270 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 02:28:05 +0000 Dani 16270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Becky, super glasses! I don't have anything to add to what everyone has already mentioned so I'll just toss in my compliments! Ana's right, it will probably just take your mom &#38; DH a little while to adjust, but they are GREAT! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beckys-new-specs#post-16265 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 01:50:29 +0000 Kyle 16265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, these glasses are fantastic. The shape, the color, the sparkle. Could not be more flattering or chic. And since my extra pair is falling apart, it's time for something new. Can you share the brand and style? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beckys-new-specs#post-16234 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 00:30:56 +0000 Ana 16234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Becky, this is totally amazing! I almost didn't recognize you--the flippy hair and glasses make you look so funky! I LOVE this look, really really love it. Definitely talk to your stylist about doing the flippy hair thing permanently, it's so cute. </p> <p>As far as your mom and DH--I think it will probably just take them a little getting used to, you know? They loved you and thought you were beautiful before, so they're probably wondering "Why the change?" But if you feel good about it, it will show, and they'll eventually jump on board, too. Most new things I try, Brendan has to sort of mull it over, and then he usually comes around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beckys-new-specs#post-16216 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 23:33:13 +0000 Tanya 16216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, wow and wow! You look fantastic! Love the specs, so different and beautiful on you! And your hair looks incredible too! I am at loss for words now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beckys-new-specs#post-16207 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 23:17:29 +0000 susan 16207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Becky-You look adorable!<br /> Sat. at the Cardinals game I sat behind a gal with some crazy-cute glasses, so I asked her about them since I go Wed. for a new pair. She giggled and said-they were JoLo's from....Walmart! I couldn't believe it! This girl was very stylish so I am going to check them out before my appt. What kind of glasses are you wearing? I hope I do as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beckys-new-specs#post-16205 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 23:12:58 +0000 cyan45 16205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FIERCE!!! very retro chic, and a bold pop with your fair skin and eyes as well. and the HAIR! sweet.</p> <p>neutral enough for everyday wear IMHO. any chance for a future eye-wear collection? *crossing fingers* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beckys-new-specs#post-16202 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 23:01:43 +0000 Anonymous 16202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE your look, Becky! Your eyes really stand out with the color of the frames! You look spendid! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beckys-new-specs#post-16184 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 21:51:48 +0000 Rosie 16184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They suit you perfectly!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beckys-new-specs#post-16181 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 21:44:36 +0000 Angie 16181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My heart has skipped a beat. I have looked at this picture at least 5 times. KILLER. </p> <p> I am so proud of you right now Becky, I’ve shed a tear. Dingkum.</p> <p>Everything about them is fantastic! Love the colour, shape, width and look. So 50’s retro I can barely stand it! You can wear a brown paper bag and look fab in your new specs and flippy do. You are gorgeous! Well done! I am THRILLED. </p> <p>How do you feel about them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beckys-new-specs#post-16180 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 21:12:52 +0000 shiny 16180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore them (and also your hair). I think you look quite chic in them!</p> <p>I don't think they are too wide, and the color is quite nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beckys-new-specs#post-16178 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 21:07:06 +0000 Becky 16178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the compliments, ladies! *blushing but smiling* Inge, I feel good in the specs, but I wanted confirmation from the most stylish people I know (the YLF ladies, of course!). I have gotten quite a few compliments on them, though the reception from DH and my mom was lukewarm. They're both in the understated camp themselves. Thanks, Antje, I know if the Statement Spec Queen herself approves, I must have done well! And, yes, the hair is different; kind of a happy accident as my hair was growing out, but I decided to talk to my stylist about doing it intentionally. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beckys-new-specs#post-16176 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 20:44:38 +0000 Antje 16176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Becky, these glasses are FABULOUS! Love the shape, the color as you describe it, the fun detail at the sides. They look terrific on you, very very flattering. Stop wondering - they are killer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beckys-new-specs#post-16175 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 20:30:44 +0000 Patience 16175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are really fantastic. You just look so chic. Ditto on your hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beckys-new-specs#post-16174 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 20:27:48 +0000 Inge 16174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Becky!! You're a completely different woman! I adore the new look (and your hair is different too, isn't it?).<br /> The colour brings out the colour of your eyes and I think it looks great with your skin.<br /> Quite the style statement indeed, do you feel as good as you look?<br /> (seeing you here makes me want to go out right now - it's 10.30 pm here - and get myself a new pair of specs... hmm I could do with a new pair of sunglasses, might look into that tomorrow;-)</p> <p>(I'm not an expert on how wide a frame should be, maybe a tad bit narrower?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beckys-new-specs#post-16169 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 19:46:04 +0000 marianne 16169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Becky, I really like the shape of these glasses! I am in the same understated camp so I can't help with the color, sorry. It looks good to me, and your description sounds even better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beckys-new-specs#post-16166 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 19:29:26 +0000 Becky 16166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is a photo of my new specs: <a href="http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll53/PigletMeToo/006.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i285.photobucket.com/al.....oo/006.jpg</a> . This is my first attempt at choosing a "statement" pair, as previously I looked for something understated (and, admittedly, boring). I like the shape, which suited my face shape much better than the more sqare-ish alternatives. A couple of things I wonder about:</p> <p>1. Are the frames too wide for my face?<br /> 2. Is the color too harsh for my complexion? It's hard to tell in the picture, but the outside of the frame is an unusual color that is neither chocolate brown nor burgandy, but somewhere in between, and the inside of the frame is a transluscent pearl pink.</p> <p>What do you all think? How should I adjust my selection criteria for next time? </p>
