I already have the black And I do have brown aviators. I have oversized black sunglasses I love already. </p> <p>I wanted tortoiseshell in particular </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-kr-sunnies#post-1539542 Fri, 14 Aug 2015 13:54:56 +0000 Word Lily 1539542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You've gotten lots of great input already, but I just have one thought to add:&nbsp;</p> <p>Tortoiseshell isn't the only classic frame pattern. You could be at least as classic with black, couldn't you? Or is it just that you want tortoiseshell, too? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-kr-sunnies#post-1539531 Fri, 14 Aug 2015 13:44:18 +0000 Maneera 1539531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your amazing feedback. I *was* right to put this post up. </p> <p>Elizabeth, I see tortoiseshell a lot; just not ones I love. I really like the shape and detailing on these. </p> <p>Diane, I love your advice. You've been super duper helpful. Thank you! I do think that grey/purple lens mixed in with tortoiseshell could be a good idea. Love the example too. </p> <p>Shannon - I love a good classic piece. And that's why the desire for tortoiseshell. But I'm sure there are better pieces; and I now prefer oversized sunnies too</p> <p>Jenn - I think I'll begin with your advice. Thank you! I'll dress up tomorrow and play with these. I think it may not be fair to judge these sunglasses until and unless the rest of the ensemble is in place. Good call! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-kr-sunnies#post-1539524 Fri, 14 Aug 2015 13:40:51 +0000 Angie 1539524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A tad wide, Maneera. I vote return, and hope you feel better.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-kr-sunnies#post-1539523 Fri, 14 Aug 2015 13:40:13 +0000 Banoffi 1539523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the frame color looks good with your hair, but I'm not loving the color of the lenses.&nbsp; I also don't think they follow the line of your eyebrows (or maybe it's where the bridge is hitting your nose - the fit doesn't seem to be quite right).&nbsp; Sorry to be negative... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-kr-sunnies#post-1539518 Fri, 14 Aug 2015 13:35:24 +0000 Jenn 1539518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maneera, when you're feeling better, I'd love to see these with some of your favorite outfits. I'm interested in how the brown will play with your cooler-colored clothing. Definitely all in for the oversized lenses, though. Retro glam. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-kr-sunnies#post-1539513 Fri, 14 Aug 2015 13:30:04 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1539513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am ALL about oversized sunnies! I quite like the size on you Maneera and don't mind the shape. I also like tortoiseshell. It's the lens color itself that is making me pause a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-kr-sunnies#post-1539505 Fri, 14 Aug 2015 13:16:42 +0000 Elizabeth P 1539505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not loving them... they are not bad, but I do think you can do better.&nbsp; Not keen on the graduated colour in the lenses, nor the shape of the top as it relates to your eyebrows.&nbsp; But I do think the size is fine - oversized is what it's all about these days!</p> <p>Funny you say you've been looking for this colour for ages, I just went through a major sunglass purchasing session, and did NOT want this colour, but it was what 75% of them were! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-kr-sunnies#post-1539481 Fri, 14 Aug 2015 12:13:20 +0000 Anonymous 1539481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mind you I always go for tortoisehell for me, but then my colouring is warmer. I do love tortoiseshell. Ultimately you need to decide.</p> <p>ETA, what about a hybrid where the sides are still tortoishell<br /> and the lenses more of a grey tint instead of brown... like these, actually the sides are a rose pink tint, which is nice. </p> <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Ted-Baker-Womens-Oversized-rose-tort-_1622502/" rel="nofollow">http://www.boots.com/en/Ted-Ba.....-_1622502/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-kr-sunnies#post-1539480 Fri, 14 Aug 2015 12:12:07 +0000 Anonymous 1539480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was thinking more of a smokey purpley/grey frame and a purple or grey tint lens maybe? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-kr-sunnies#post-1539478 Fri, 14 Aug 2015 12:08:41 +0000 Maneera 1539478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm....I do love the sound of purple too. But that's a different story....I don't think purple tortoise shell will look good at all, Di. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-kr-sunnies#post-1539472 Fri, 14 Aug 2015 12:05:20 +0000 Anonymous 1539472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't actually&nbsp;mind the brown on you Manny, because, you do have brown eyes after all don't you? But...&nbsp;I adore the sound of grey or purple for you and maybe you&nbsp;could hold fast to find the right pair in one of those colours? Purple sounds gorgeous to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-kr-sunnies#post-1539450 Fri, 14 Aug 2015 10:49:07 +0000 Maneera 1539450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been waiting for you to chime in Cheryle. You are the one who warned me about browns to begin with....and I thought of you when I tried these on.&nbsp;</p> <p>I was in the mood for grey or purple sunglasses this time round, but tortoise shell glasses in brown is one of those 'timeless' styles that I always envisioned in my collection!&nbsp;</p> <p>I see what you mean....I don't mind you being brutal and honest...in fact I appreciate it. The point of the K/R exercise here is to not make shopping errors and buy things that look just as good in real life as they do in your head. Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-kr-sunnies#post-1539447 Fri, 14 Aug 2015 10:39:16 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1539447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am the dissenter here. &nbsp;I like the size and shape - I break the rules about size for sunglasses since it is normally difficult to discern the eye placement so you can go bigger. &nbsp;I am not in love with the lens color on you though. &nbsp;They look good but I am pretty sure a grey or less warm brown would look better.</p> <p>Sorry, I don't like to be a negative nellie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-kr-sunnies#post-1539445 Fri, 14 Aug 2015 10:35:11 +0000 Maneera 1539445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your comments.&nbsp;</p> <p>They fit comfortably. They don't cut into my skin at the cheek, Lucy.&nbsp;</p> <p>Alexandra, I have been wearing aviators for yearsss!!!!! I think anything bigger is oversized on my face! But I'm kind of liking the whole over-sides look these days. I have tried a different pair of oversized glasses with a slightly rounded top corner earlier, and prefer these ones. I'll wear them again and check if they feel too wide.&nbsp;</p> <p>Aliona, I'm happy to hear the consultants analysis that eyeglasses fall into a different category!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-kr-sunnies#post-1539441 Fri, 14 Aug 2015 10:24:07 +0000 Anonymous 1539441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these work on you! I just bought a pair of red glasses--a colour I never, ever wear near my face. The consultant at the eyeglass store explained that glasses can fall into a different category from clothing because they reflect and absorb light differently from fabric. I vote keep, especially if they're comfortable. I'm migraine prone too and sometimes get headaches from glasses and sunnies if they don't fit well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-kr-sunnies#post-1539439 Fri, 14 Aug 2015 10:05:34 +0000 Lucy 1539439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the colour on you, and they are nice classy frames. I wonder if they are cutting into your cheeks at all? They appear to be in the final shot. I have this problem with a lot of bigger frames!&nbsp;<br />But if they fit and are comfy, I think they look great.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-kr-sunnies#post-1539433 Fri, 14 Aug 2015 09:42:16 +0000 alexandra 1539433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brown shades DO suit you, <b>Maneera</b>! I like the glasses, but they seem to be too wide for your face (at your brows level). The final decision depends on your self-perception. If you feel they're the right size, then they actually are))) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-kr-sunnies#post-1539431 Fri, 14 Aug 2015 09:18:52 +0000 Maneera 1539431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know it's silly to buy sunglasses online. But I've been looking for tortoise shell sun glasses for a while now, and never found the right pair. Most were too loud for my personality. </p> <p>I liked these online so ordered them. But I do know now that anything in the brown family looks terrible on me. Do these look ok? </p> <p>Sorry for the crappy hair and oily face! I was taking an nap, thanks to a terrible migraine, when these arrived. I just took some pics and am uploading them so I have the answers by the time I'm awake. The tag and box these came in will wait on the bathroom counter, in case many of you suggest I return them. </p>
