I prefer the lighter frame on you for some reason.

The ProDesign are lovely but a tad too shallow, I feel? Shame, because I have had several pairs of ProDesign and they're fantastically made.. If you find some that are close, try asking if similar models could be brought in 'on approval' for you. That way you can try them and the store can return them to the supplier if they're not right. Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeglass-picking-festival-part-2#post-277312 Sun, 09 Jan 2011 16:14:47 +0000 Queen Mum 277312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>10 and 16 really caught my attention. and between those two I vote 16. I love the shape, color and daintiness of them on you.</p> <p>On my second pass through the pictures... I like 18 and 20 as well. nix #10, they are too heavy for you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeglass-picking-festival-part-2#post-277266 Sun, 09 Jan 2011 12:27:45 +0000 Lyrebirdgully 277266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Evie,<br /> You've found some good examples here of a curved upper lens frame that follows more the line of your beautifully arched brows, as Angie suggests. I wouldn't necessarily dismiss an even more pronounced arch, if you can find a light and airy example; particularly any which have a thin or light appearance across the bridge of your nose( #16/17 seem to have the least heavy bridge piece). </p> <p>You may also achieve the "light" appearance that metal frames give by trying for plastic that is much paler in colour, even 50% clear (see Angie's own) or 100% clear, e.g -http://cupcakesandcashmere.com/clear-vision/. Clear plastic does not look nearly so heavy as dark-coloured plastic does. You could browse images of "eyeglasses clear plastic frames" for ideas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeglass-picking-festival-part-2#post-277260 Sun, 09 Jan 2011 12:18:37 +0000 Louise 277260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 10, 16 and 20 on you x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeglass-picking-festival-part-2#post-277244 Sun, 09 Jan 2011 09:52:22 +0000 rute 277244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is 18. I didn't like to see on you the type "cat" because you have a long face. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeglass-picking-festival-part-2#post-277233 Sun, 09 Jan 2011 07:41:35 +0000 Scarlet 277233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think my favorite is the first Tommy H. I really like the purple color of the ProDesign K on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeglass-picking-festival-part-2#post-277139 Sun, 09 Jan 2011 02:31:06 +0000 ticksgirl 277139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#16 and 17. They look delicate and as Mamapicklejuice said, follow the shape of your brows very nicely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeglass-picking-festival-part-2#post-277135 Sun, 09 Jan 2011 02:28:09 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 277135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>CK#1 and Prodesign DK They seem to be the most cat eye and mimic your lovely arched eyebrows well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeglass-picking-festival-part-2#post-277129 Sun, 09 Jan 2011 02:14:26 +0000 lyn* 277129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favs are the ones in 6,12 and 18 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeglass-picking-festival-part-2#post-277119 Sun, 09 Jan 2011 01:58:24 +0000 Evie 277119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi everyone, this is a painful continuation of my search for a new pair of eyeglasses, started in this thread: <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeglass-picking-festival" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....g-festival</a><br /> I visited about 10 stores in 2 days, got some pics, and posting the best fits here (loads and loads didn't make the cut). Please let me know which ones you like best, or shape, or color. I would really appreciate the feedback, as my eyes probably atrophied from staring at myself in glasses for so long. lol.</p> <p>I know 4 or 5 more stores I'd like to visit, so the search doesn't have to end here, but it would be nice to know what clicks... Thanks to Angie's advice I was looking for cats eye shape frames which I think look better than the ones in my first attempt. But finding cats eye AND all plastic AND refined was quite hard... I think I'm on the right track, but not quite there?</p> <p>Angie - thanks for all your tips in the previous thread. I was so disappointed when I went to a D.C. boutique and they didn't carry a single pair of Bevels that were all-plastic (they only had metal ones in truly sweet colors)... so raided the neighborhood stores instead:)<br /> Jonesy - thanks for the Lafont tip. Saw some pairs on the website, and they look nice. Good luck me trying to find out a store around that carries them. Do you have a pic of you in your leopard glasses? Sounds awesome and I'd really love to see you in them!</p> <p>With some WIW's thrown in (first one inspired by chewyspaghetti here <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-style-underdog-take-2" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....dog-take-2</a>), I think I like the Commotions (red#2) and Norma Kamalis best. Are they too wide? I really wish the temple piece on the red ones was thinner... I also liked the Prodesign DK in real life, but not digging them in the pictures for some reason (the color also not favorite, but they look and feel so lightweight and different). </p> <p>Thanks for looking </p>
