Most of the time my frames are basically a medical device. I put them on when I've reached the contacts time limit. Or actually, when I'm past it and am preparing for bed (I know, my bad). Then I remembered they're a fashion accessory.</p> <p>Beth Ann - I'm so paranoid they'll take me over. Like Invasion of the Body Snatchers. I think they definitely x-nay the thought of earrings and necklaces, maybe even bracelets. That's a lot of jewelry right there on the frames, at least for me.</p> <p>K - I was thinking they could be turned 'punk lite' (which is what I am - either that, or hard core... hehe). I suppose thing is, I think they're not very <i>country </i>punk<i>.</i> Nashville maybe, but not Cold Mountain country.</p> <p>Claire - I'd forgotten about duct tape! You jest, but I'm serious. I was pondering ways to superglue black ribbon around the bling...</p> <p>Marmee, deb - I'm counting on y'all to keep telling me that... ;&gt;</p> <p>DonnaF - Yeah... there were a lot of glasses but few styles.</p> <p>Pil - I'll be brushing my hair forward from now on...</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-skip-out-on-your-style/page/2#post-1208430 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 12:25:17 +0000 ManidipaM 1208430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is often the case with my loungewear (track pants and gym section...) and my aprons and some sleepwear (I have things with lace and satin and sequins and ribbon, so not me, but this is where I skimp on the budget and still find comfort). And oh yes swimwear. Currently I wear a hot pink and white striped tankini. With a navy bow! V not my style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-skip-out-on-your-style#post-1208237 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 02:50:51 +0000 Suz 1208237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they might possibly look really cool, and if they don't, Rabbit's idea is fab. The shape of them is nice. And would look good on your face.&nbsp;</p> <p>For me, the cop out of style place is gear. It's pretty much all about function in that department, for me. Sure, I'd <b>LIKE</b> it if I could find good looking. But function plus price really seals it and the looks are secondary if not tertiary.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-skip-out-on-your-style#post-1208152 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 01:03:53 +0000 pil 1208152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Will your hair end up covering the bling when all is said and done? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-skip-out-on-your-style#post-1208100 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 00:10:31 +0000 deb 1208100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I expected more bling.

Period. 1207984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! That IS a great idea from rabbit! I envision a very Anna Sui sort of matte black rhinestone thing going on. &nbsp;</p> <p>Rachy, they aren't too blingy at all. &nbsp;If you didn't have dark hair, it would be different. However, you do, and to me that gives 'em a kind of punk retro vibe. Of course I know your preference is preppy punk, but still! Good purchase.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-skip-out-on-your-style#post-1207980 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 21:41:15 +0000 rachylou 1207980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Astrid, Lantana - I really hope they don't outdazzle anything! They aren't as bad as I remember, if those are the ones I got...</p> <p>rabbit - That's a good idea (!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-skip-out-on-your-style#post-1207968 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 21:25:15 +0000 rabbit 1207968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the shape and the bling is minimal. &nbsp; I have some blingy flat&nbsp;studs on the shoulder of a dark&nbsp;t-shirt I otherwise like, &nbsp;if I can't get them off&nbsp;I'm going to paint them with Martha Stewart 'sticks to everything' permanent/dishwasher safe&nbsp;craft paint in a dark metallic pewter&nbsp;black. &nbsp; If they really are for wear at home and the bling bothers you over time, something like that&nbsp;might be an option? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-skip-out-on-your-style#post-1207843 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 18:29:54 +0000 Lantana 1207843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, a modicum of bling yes but they're not going to out-dazzle your style.<br /> I also compromise on eyewear. My optometrist, who is a brilliant practicioner, has a limited selection of frames and I take whatever's on offer, no point in being PPP.<br /> I could go elsewhere but I don't want to, the guy's too good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-skip-out-on-your-style#post-1207831 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 18:22:54 +0000 Astrid 1207831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They're not as blingy as I thought!

I don't see glasses as being an outfit component of mine, so I was like fine. They're gear. If they come with bling, they come with bling. Of course, now that I'm waiting for them to come back, I'm obsessing about the bling! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-skip-out-on-your-style#post-1207725 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 16:53:08 +0000 Mo 1207725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think my 'at home' style might be not as indicative of my overall style as the pieces I choose for seeing the world. &nbsp;Comfort is key, style secondary. &nbsp;Same with running gear. &nbsp;Cool that the shoes have hot pink laces, but if they didn't fit my feet right first and foremost, those laces would matter not. &nbsp;Your glasses sound kind of like both gear and at home capsules. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-skip-out-on-your-style#post-1207716 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 16:43:11 +0000 rachylou 1207716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gigi - I'm getting a <i>little </i>less spend-thrifty in my old age. Lol. Why do I pay for vision care if I'm not going to use it, right? I thought the general shape was fine, even the best of the lot. It just happened to come with bling on the sides.</p> <p>ladywone &amp; lyn67 - I will take a pic and post when they come back, absolutely. I don't have them now; they're the getting the lenses put in. Re. evolution: No doubt I've switched styles several times, back and forth, but glitz had definitely been dropped from the picture. The whole Rodeo Drive thing is so... '90s to me. Lol. </p> <p>Astrid - I agree, staying warm takes all precedence!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-skip-out-on-your-style#post-1207410 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 10:55:42 +0000 Astrid 1207410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd love to see them too! For myself I don't care much about personal style when it comes to winter outerwear and shoes. Fit and comfort are most important when it's cold and snowy. My pajamas are an unstylish mess too, I really need some new ones. And I'm not very picky when it comes to loungewear or sportswear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-skip-out-on-your-style#post-1207400 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 10:25:59 +0000 lyn67 1207400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Why not post a pictie, may not be that bad/blingy, at all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-skip-out-on-your-style#post-1207380 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 08:49:18 +0000 Ledonna N. 1207380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think my style is always evolving. I am style fluid to be truthful it tends to make me very happy. When I purchase glasses I tend to buy 2pr at a time so that I can switch up. If you find it challenging you could save them for certain ocassion. I would love to see you in them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-skip-out-on-your-style#post-1207345 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 06:43:40 +0000 rachylou 1207345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boy, Golden, I never thought about my bed clothes style before today. It's always been a matter of dress code and practicality.</p> <p>Adelfa - You know, maybe they did. Maybe I've been being too grungy for my own self... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-skip-out-on-your-style#post-1207344 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 06:42:26 +0000 Gigi 1207344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If insurance is paying, that is a really big motivator! I would have probably done the same, unless the frames were horrendously awful.</p> <p>You said the frames are not you, but did you like them at all? Were you attracted to them even though they weren't your style? Or did you just pick the lesser of two evils? If you liked them on some level, maybe it is a sign that you have a bit of a different style surfacing. :^) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-skip-out-on-your-style#post-1207332 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 06:04:20 +0000 Adelfa 1207332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was just thinking today about if I wanted to change up my at-home style. I don't have lounge wear, I have walking the dog wear. And though&nbsp;I'm in it for quite a few hours a week, it tends to be extremely basic: jeans + Target tee + cheap sweatshirt. &nbsp;Hmmmm.</p> <p>Maybe the glasses spoke to you somehow.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-skip-out-on-your-style#post-1207325 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 05:44:31 +0000 Golden 1207325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do when working out or going to bed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-skip-out-on-your-style#post-1207316 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 05:13:10 +0000 rachylou 1207316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I definitely do already think of frames as At Home wear... More than that, it's Retired for the Night wear. You bring up something, tho, Marmee that did not dawn on me. They will do terrible things paired with my new leopard print nightie! Like carpet the garage in white wall-to-wall...</p> <p>Oh no! Need a new night gown right away... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-skip-out-on-your-style#post-1207306 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 05:05:14 +0000 Marmee 1207306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachylou, perhaps you should think of the glasses as loungewear, to be worn only at home in private. Perhaps your loungewear capsule style is different than your street wear style?</p> <p>@Lyn D, LOL! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-skip-out-on-your-style#post-1207301 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 05:00:31 +0000 rachylou 1207301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will, Shevia, as soon as they get back from having the glass put in!</p> <p>Too brilliant and too funny, Lyn!</p> <p>It's so nice to have company, Una (!!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-skip-out-on-your-style#post-1207299 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 04:59:02 +0000 catgirl 1207299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Winter gear.
