Bright is really key, I think. The trick will be whether I can find something colorful, visually interesting in shape AND wide enough. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-specs---help-me-decide#post-1685010 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 02:42:19 +0000 Maneera 1685010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 3, 4 &amp; 8. The shapes look good but I think you can try wider frames. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-specs---help-me-decide#post-1685003 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 02:30:35 +0000 Anonymous 1685003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Geek chic is rad in my book, I look forward to seeing what you choose! I have a few rather kooky pairs and a more staid pair in my own arsenal. I almost always opt for the kooky ones. I really do love the bright ones on you and fwiw, I liked the shapes too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-specs---help-me-decide#post-1684996 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 02:20:11 +0000 Meredith 1684996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well shoot. Disappointing about the width, but details like that is why I asked. Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-specs---help-me-decide#post-1684992 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 02:07:20 +0000 deb 1684992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not loving any of these. I vote, keep looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-specs---help-me-decide#post-1684986 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 02:00:18 +0000 Angie 1684986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm echo what Suz said. #5 is my favourite - colour is sensational - but not quite wide enough for your face. Same with #4. </p> <p>I vote go wider and choose a colour. The dark frames look less alive on your face. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-specs---help-me-decide#post-1684982 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 01:50:52 +0000 Suz 1684982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not sure any of these is quite right. I love the idea of fun, and of that bunch like (in theory) 3, 4, and 5 -- but I feel as if they are not quite wide enough for your face -- the proportion seems a bit off to me. Would like to see others for comparison. The geek chic ones actually seem to have the width you require.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-specs---help-me-decide#post-1684969 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 01:18:18 +0000 Meredith 1684969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So much love for #4 and it doesn't surprise me. They actually look even nicer in person. #3 and #5 are also getting a lot of love. The color and shape are pretty fun.</p> <p>Lisa: What do you think about geek chic when you actually are a bit of a geek? The shape and fit are great, but i wonder if I'd feel the need to always have hair and makeup perfect when wearing those frames. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-specs---help-me-decide#post-1684967 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 01:10:06 +0000 Anonymous 1684967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1, 3, 4 and 5. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-specs---help-me-decide#post-1684964 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 00:59:17 +0000 lynn 1684964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #4 the best! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-specs---help-me-decide#post-1684956 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 00:44:58 +0000 LK1100 1684956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loooove #4, and like #3 too - first is classically gorgeous and the second one is fun and different. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-specs---help-me-decide#post-1684948 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 00:34:01 +0000 rachylou 1684948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>4, 5, 6, 7...

I'll narrow it down to a few based on your suggestions and take better pictures when I'm not wearing field clothes.</p> <p>I will chime in, but might not be around much tonight.</p> <p>1. I am a very serious anthropologist.<br /> 2. Is this really your idea of "fun?"<br /> 3. Big fuchsia frames.<br /> 4. More classic than I was thinking, but quite lovely.<br /> 5. No clue why I am making the "ok" sign. Is it a sign?<br /> 6. The most unusual of the bunch.<br /> 7. Wrong color, but I like the frame.  Too big?<br /> 8. The most delicate of the frames.  Too big? </p>
