Mine are large-ish &amp; amazingly light. They don't sit on my cheeks either.</p> <p>Love the sun glasses &amp; have to stop myself checking them out </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyewear-suggestions-for-adelfa#post-1273002 Sun, 08 Jun 2014 22:17:34 +0000 Adelfa 1273002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Denise, thanks so much for this collection! It is inspirational! I turned to you because I wanted help with my "eye" for eyewear and this totally helps! I am seeing versions of these (a bit smaller) on people's faces. I think my best look involves lenses that are round on the bottom or rounded off squares. Lots of those are here. Thanks so much! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyewear-suggestions-for-adelfa#post-1272980 Sun, 08 Jun 2014 21:39:15 +0000 Angie 1272980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A super effort, and fun sunnies. Unfortunately, it's not a good idea to substitute&nbsp;sunnies for regular specs because practically - it does not work. Suz is spot on. </p> <p>Also, once you take away the shaded integrity of the lenses - the aesthetic as regular eyewear changes completely because you've added in a whole lot of variables (your eyes).&nbsp;Your eyes look misplaced and aesthetics look odd - trust me - I have had lots of experience figuring this one out. There is a reason why there is a difference in frame design. Every so often - sunnies can work as regular frames (especially on men) - but it's not a safe bet.&nbsp;</p> <p>I don't think regular&nbsp;eyewear lacks in design sensibility if you're patient. I found my favourite specs of all time this year because good things come to those who wait. I hope that makes sense.&nbsp;xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyewear-suggestions-for-adelfa#post-1272957 Sun, 08 Jun 2014 21:01:33 +0000 April 1272957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, I was going to add that the retro big styles such as the Marc Jacobs ones above are so glamorous, but the problem is where they hit on your face. &nbsp;On me, they sit right on my cheeks. &nbsp;Not only do I end up with dents in each cheek just below the cheekbone,&nbsp;but the glasses get smeary with sunscreen and makeup. &nbsp;</p> <p>I had a pair of oversized Cole Haan sunnies a couple of summers ago and had this problem every time I wore them. &nbsp;Now I only use them to take YLF photos. &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyewear-suggestions-for-adelfa#post-1272936 Sun, 08 Jun 2014 20:18:15 +0000 CocoLion 1272936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suz. &nbsp;I did not even think about that. &nbsp;It's been a very long time since I got an RX for glasses. &nbsp;As I entered my 40s my eyes actually improved a bit, &nbsp;or maybe I just got used to not seeing everything clearly. &nbsp;I always passed the drivers eye test.</p> <p>If the lenses are too heavy for RX glasses, but ok for sunglasses, I guess that means the lenses are quite different when you add a prescription. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyewear-suggestions-for-adelfa#post-1272914 Sun, 08 Jun 2014 19:45:22 +0000 Suz 1272914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, what fab frames, Denise! I am in love with some of these and agree that Jody would probably wear a number of them well.&nbsp;</p> <p>One caveat -- her prescription. For me, frames this large would be impossibly heavy. (They would also bump my cheekbones, but that is another issue). So it depends a bit on what strength of lenses she wears.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyewear-suggestions-for-adelfa#post-1272909 Sun, 08 Jun 2014 19:38:14 +0000 CocoLion 1272909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>PS - Anyone else have suggestions? Please add to this thread. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyewear-suggestions-for-adelfa#post-1272907 Sun, 08 Jun 2014 19:36:52 +0000 CocoLion 1272907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;Per our conversation and your thread yesterday. &nbsp;I find regular glasses lag in the design aspect compared to sunnies. &nbsp;So that's why these are shaded lenses, which you could alter to real glasses. &nbsp;I'm going for big, bold and dramatic because I think you could pull it off and it would add a power chic aspect to your style.</p> <p>The Prada baroque are fun, Peggy Guggenhein in Venice kind of vibe. &nbsp;The Wildfox glasses come in many colors, so you could try Angie's lighter color idea. &nbsp;The Rayban 54 mm and Prada 54 mm are big and dramatic while coming in&nbsp;lighter colors. &nbsp;The 61mm Marc Jacobs are huge but have lighter rims, and on sale too. &nbsp;Stella McCartney Square Frames are actually glasses. &nbsp;The remainder run the gamut from heavy dark and square (Michael Kors Leah 53mm and Kate Spade Brenna) to lighter frames (Rayban Wayfarer 54 mm and Youngsters) &nbsp;to cat eye&nbsp;(Marc Jacobs Cat Eye) to eclectic (Karen Walker Supers and Tory Burch Eclectic). &nbsp;Hope this is helpful! </p>
