These were some of the 'tallest' from top of lens to bottom that I could find. I must have a larger face than average because most ladies' glasses are way too small for me.</p> <p>I can't go the Warby Parker (or similar) route with this round but I'll consider it for the future, definitely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-new-glasses#post-1149302 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 16:26:55 +0000 deb 1149302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the WP's in the grenadine color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-new-glasses#post-1149293 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 16:12:40 +0000 Angie 1149293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes. And what Adelfa said.</p> <p>If you don't wear progressives, try the Warby Parker route. And try to stay away from brown.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-new-glasses#post-1149286 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 15:59:56 +0000 goldenpig 1149286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the second pair best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-new-glasses#post-1149137 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 07:51:19 +0000 Adelfa 1149137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deeper like more distance from the top to the bottom of the lens. I also like Angie's idea of round corners. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-new-glasses#post-1149085 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 04:29:17 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1149085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deeper like wider, Adelfa? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-new-glasses#post-1149082 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 04:22:59 +0000 Adelfa 1149082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have beautiful features and I don't think any of these do them justice. Glad Angie can make specific suggestions. I would love to see you in a deeper frame. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-new-glasses#post-1149068 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 04:13:11 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1149068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deb, my current glasses are brown and green, and they're still wearable. So I could switch between them for a while still.</p> <p>(It's so funny. I'm sitting here on the sofa, watching Federer/Nadal on the TiVo from this morning, and trying to pretend that these photos are from someone else entirely, trying to be objective about how the different frames look, and I can't stop wincing when I look at the pictures of the third frames. I just think the shape makes my face look really wide and round. Don't know if that's real or just years of conditioning.)</p> <p>Angie, do you mean a shape more like this Warby Parker? <a href="http://www.warbyparker.com/eyeglasses/women/finch#" rel="nofollow">http://www.warbyparker.com/eyeglasses/women/finch#</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-new-glasses#post-1149019 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 02:53:45 +0000 deb 1149019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the shape of the Nine West best. Will these be your only specs? What about a color? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-new-glasses#post-1148993 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 02:09:47 +0000 Angie 1148993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find the brown in the angular shape quite severe. Try a deep red, blue or purple in a shape with rounder corners by your cheek bones.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-new-glasses#post-1148991 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 02:04:30 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1148991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, ladies. Looks like opinions are divided so far but nothing's a clear winner. That's kinda how I felt too. I looked last year as well, didn't find anything I liked and that suited me. In fact, I wasted a groupon for the eyeglass place because I couldn't find anything I liked, and I've bought another that is about to expire as well. I've looked at other vendors too. </p> <p>Angie, what do you mean by more playful? Any chance of a link to illustrate? I'm having a hard time picturing it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-new-glasses#post-1148988 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 02:00:30 +0000 Peri 1148988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think I'm any good at this, but I like the second pair the best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-new-glasses#post-1148979 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 01:44:00 +0000 Angie 1148979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #8 best, but would love to see you try non-brown specs, and a style that's more playful.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-new-glasses#post-1148978 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 01:41:21 +0000 Carla 1148978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Max Studio ones are the best of these 3 though the sides of the Via Piga are cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-new-glasses#post-1148977 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 01:38:05 +0000 marianna 1148977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 4/5/6 best but I think I'd keep looking for a few more options first. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-new-glasses#post-1148922 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 00:12:17 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1148922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stopped by the local eyeglass place today and photographed some possibilities. What say you all? </p> <p>1/2/3 - Via Spiga metal, black with side detailing. These were my favorite in store, similar to my current glasses in shape although a different color. In photos they look a little thin from the front, maybe?</p> <p>4/5/6 - Max Studio plastic tortoiseshell look. In person I worried that these frames were too heavy looking, too hipster nerd glasses territory. </p> <p>7/8/9 - Nine West brown with a green undertone on the inside. </p>
