I'm a fellow glasses wearer, Adelfa. I love the McQueen's on you. They're my hands-down favorite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-shopping-at-venice-beach-glasses-post-4#post-1285593 Mon, 23 Jun 2014 14:03:55 +0000 Adelfa 1285593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Firecracker, thanks for looking. I really like the shape of #2 and feel good in it, but I know I won't feel comfortable in frames that thick and dark. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-shopping-at-venice-beach-glasses-post-4#post-1285432 Mon, 23 Jun 2014 10:22:15 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1285432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of the Venice Beach frames, I like #2 best. I don't prefer it to the front runner McQueens, though. It does have the advantage of being a different shape, which may be reason to keep it in the running--it's more of a cat-eye variation, which gives more of the diagonal &amp; curve that you mention as a goal. </p> <p>eta: I see the front-runner McQueens as a butterfly variation, for comparison. They look kind of deep butterfly shape, whereas the #2 Venice Beach pair are a deep cat-eye, if that makes sense. Both are feminine looking shapes.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-shopping-at-venice-beach-glasses-post-4#post-1284905 Sun, 22 Jun 2014 15:16:51 +0000 Angie 1284905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the one you love best too.

You look great in a cat eye! Also like the gray ones but they don't read as pretty to me. More tomboyish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-shopping-at-venice-beach-glasses-post-4#post-1284604 Sun, 22 Jun 2014 02:44:04 +0000 Adelfa 1284604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Claire, did you mean #1 of my original post, or #1 of my response to Angie further down? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-shopping-at-venice-beach-glasses-post-4#post-1284573 Sun, 22 Jun 2014 02:01:25 +0000 Anonymous 1284573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! I really love the size and shape of the first ones, and I feel like you carry them off quite well. Then I clicked on the second picture, and I like the thick frames on that pair. I can't decide, but it's between 1 and 2 for me. Knowing you like #1 makes me lean in that direction. They're super current looking, without being commonplace (oh the horror!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-shopping-at-venice-beach-glasses-post-4#post-1284522 Sun, 22 Jun 2014 01:14:59 +0000 Suz 1284522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of the new ones, I like #2.&nbsp;</p> <p>And I honestly don't know which ones I like best of all. It's really, really hard to pick frames. You are doing a great job considering your options and it sounds as if you have a very clear idea of what you are after.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-shopping-at-venice-beach-glasses-post-4#post-1284519 Sun, 22 Jun 2014 01:11:53 +0000 deb 1284519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #2 of the new batch. The color of #3 does not seem strong enough. But, the grey McQueens are still my favorite on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-shopping-at-venice-beach-glasses-post-4#post-1284491 Sun, 22 Jun 2014 00:28:45 +0000 Adelfa 1284491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Angie, I'm having trouble because I have conflicting imperatives.</p> <p>1. I want my glasses to be on trend. I have a horror of being caught in frumpy, out of date frames!</p> <p>2. I want my glasses to veer pretty rather than dramatic or quirky. I don't know if I can reconcile this with #1. I want them to flatter me but not wear me.</p> <p>3. I have gone through my black frame stage and now want something softer like tortoise (but not an almost black tortoise), olive green, or bronze. &nbsp;I'm open to other colors if they're not startling on my face.</p> <p>4. I like curves and diagonals, which cuts out all the square on trend frames.</p> <p>So, my favorites? I really like the gray Alexander McQueen frames (#1 below), probably best, but I'm quite worried that they're too much--that they would wear me, and that I would tire of making the same dramatic statement day after day. The blue ones you liked (#2 below) are similar but I don't like them quite as much. The purple and green&nbsp;Alexander McQueen (#3 below) seem flattering and less dramatic, but I'd need a different color because the purple looks black, and do they cut me across the eyelid? I like the Balmain (#1 above) because they seem pretty, but they also seem unbalanced as though they take in too much of my cheeks--bottom heavy.</p> <p>I'd even be willing to get two pairs, one more dramatic and one less, though I'm not sure what the less dramatic ones would look like. I'm afraid that if I go too dramatic I'll want to wear my old Kio Yamato glasses all the time (the ones you see in all my recent WIWs) and that would defeat the purpose.</p> <p>But to answer your question, I love #1 below the best. (Thanks for asking ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-shopping-at-venice-beach-glasses-post-4#post-1284474 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 23:43:10 +0000 Angie 1284474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Which are your faves, Jody?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-shopping-at-venice-beach-glasses-post-4#post-1284464 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 23:13:05 +0000 Adelfa 1284464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are my favs of over a dozen. The second and third are the same except for color. Do you like any of these?</p> <p>Now to walk on the beach! </p>
