Many of these frames are causing your eyes to “droop". Hence my suggestions of the oval and cats eye frames. Can you go somewhere else to look? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-search-part-2#post-51328 Sat, 21 Feb 2009 18:41:22 +0000 Anonymous 51328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Anne, in looking at your pictures it seems to me that you should be choosing from the warmer color spectrum. The blue frames stand out and wear you. IMO. A color that would make your eyes the star and showcase the pretty color would be nice. You have large eyes and these frames close in on you.<br /> I feel like all of these choices are too heavy for you. I wonder if a frame that has a top but is frameless on the bottom would be nice? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-search-part-2#post-51296 Sat, 21 Feb 2009 13:41:53 +0000 anne 51296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for some more input,<br /> Imogen I am not sure about the nose piece issue - I'll ask about that in the shop.</p> <p>Dee that looked like a similar shape to one of the ones I tried. Thanks</p> <p>I found 2 more pictures, must have not loaded them the first time because the photo was a bit fuzzy</p> <p>One is blue metal/plastic (not a very nice face from me I am afraid)<br /> the other is the red/pink one</p> <p>they are now the first 2 in the album<br /> <a href="http://s297.photobucket.com/albums/mm234/anneinoz/glasses%20shop%20attempt%201/" rel="nofollow">http://s297.photobucket.com/al.....tempt%201/</a></p> <p>password ylfstuff </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-search-part-2#post-51287 Sat, 21 Feb 2009 09:37:59 +0000 yublocka 51287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure either Anne. I like the butterfly ones. Also the red rectangle and the more rounded ones. Not sure why I'm being so indecisive - maybe because none of them are killers yet. Keep going </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-search-part-2#post-51280 Sat, 21 Feb 2009 06:52:01 +0000 dee2do 51280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Ann,<br /> I have a very similar face shape to yours and I have this pair: in cranberry.<br /> The red actually brings out my blue eyes and it's not too harsh of a color for th e fair complexion.<br /> <a href="http://www.apairofshades.com/frames/frdetails.asp?ProductID=239804" rel="nofollow">http://www.apairofshades.com/f.....tID=239804</a><br /> I couldn't find a picture of the red on the web but you can see the frame shape. Everyone loves the frame on me. See if the store has Donna Karan DK1523 color:3206 and try it. I've had mine for over a year so they may not be around anymore.<br /> I'll try to upload a picture of my glasses on me so that you can see. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-search-part-2#post-51185 Sat, 21 Feb 2009 00:00:21 +0000 ImogenL 51185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tortoiseshell is the best colour for you, and a softened rectangle shape. Also, make sure they don't sit too high on your face (some of these appeared to), you may need ones that you can adjust the nose piece rather than an acetate frame which you can't. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-search-part-2#post-51179 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 23:36:52 +0000 anne 51179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks guys - will keep looking.</p> <p>Angie I did post when you were in NY and I didn't bump it for you because it was just a preliminary look at a few pairs I have worn over the last few years</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-search?replies=18" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....replies=18</a></p> <p>Patience - I like how I look in the tortoise shell best in that it is the nicest picture of me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-search-part-2#post-51144 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 20:09:18 +0000 Angie 51144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne, I think I was in NY when you posted the first specs thread. Sorry that I was unable to provide input. Thanks for posting these pics though. Pretty dress!</p> <p>None of these specs are spot on. You are looking for a softer look. The frames are too thick and heavy. Also, you need a wider frame (across the eyes) to balance out your jaw-line. Rectangular does not work. Hubby is right! Try oval and cats eyes instead with thinner rimmed frames. Also, you don’t need to stick to plastic frames either. Try metal frames too. Does that make sense? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-search-part-2#post-51107 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 17:02:57 +0000 Tanya 51107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with what has already been said. The butterfly pair looks the best, but I think you can do better. I like the tortoise and the navy colors on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-search-part-2#post-51098 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 16:46:33 +0000 Patience 51098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the tortoise ones the best although I agree you should keep looking. To me the tortoise color is the best for you but I'm not sure what to do about the shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-search-part-2#post-51089 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 16:25:46 +0000 Becky 51089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with the other comments. I didn't *love* any of the ones pictured...they just don't do your pretty face justice, Anne. The butterfly was my fave of those pictured, probably because it was less rectangular. I'd try on some more. I did like the way the colored frames looked on you! Red especially, of course! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-search-part-2#post-51072 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 15:38:34 +0000 Lee Hovey 51072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am in full agreement with Alecia. If I had to pick one it would be the butterfly pair, but I would love to see some more shapes on you. I think the rectangular shape makes your face appear more long and boxy. But I am not expert! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-search-part-2#post-51068 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 15:28:36 +0000 Alecia 51068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne - I'm no expert. So take what I have to say for what it's worth, and I think it's not much. I think the rectangular glass look a little too boxy for your face. If they were just slightly more rounded I think they'd be better. Still kind of rectangular but with softer angles. Does that make sense? I like the style of the butterfly glasses best but I think you are right and will probably need to try some more options. None of these stood out to me as THE ONES. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-search-part-2#post-51044 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 13:01:20 +0000 anne 51044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last week I tried on lots of glasses and took photos, and those that were good enough pictures have made it to this album<br /> <a href="http://s297.photobucket.com/albums/mm234/anneinoz/glasses%20shop%20attempt%201/" rel="nofollow">http://s297.photobucket.com/al.....tempt%201/</a><br /> password: ylfstuff</p> <p>Becky, (re your comment) I did try on one that was nearly cat-eye, and had a nice pink and red 2 tone colour theme, but the photo didn't work out.</p> <p>I feel like I am very much at the beginning of the search.</p> <p>My DH has had a look at the pics, and he doesn't much like the rectangular look - the very look which was the recommendation of most people in my earlier thread! </p>
