I think you have a bold look that can really pull off those styles well. I am attracted to them too.</p> <p>I actually really liked 4 and 5 as well, but the materials--brushed metal in subtle color--doesn't really show up well in a photo like this, I think. Oh well, I think I am going to go with the tortoiseshell (2) because I always wanted that but have never found the right glasses in all these years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-glasses#post-759532 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 15:46:01 +0000 citygirldc 759532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love 3, 6 and 7on you but then I like vintagey looking eye wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-glasses#post-759505 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 14:22:22 +0000 Angie 759505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mr. Scarlet cracks me up too. YES! The buck stops at #2. K to the power of K!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-glasses#post-759185 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 22:11:54 +0000 Anonymous 759185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE #2. I'd like to get a pair like that myself, provided they look as good on me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-glasses#post-759179 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 22:02:42 +0000 Caro in Oz 759179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #2 with your hair &amp; I think the shape is great on you. #3 is way too heavy imo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-glasses#post-759086 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 18:18:13 +0000 Astrid 759086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow, I was right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-glasses#post-759042 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 16:53:06 +0000 missvee 759042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm late to reply, but # 2 really does stand out. I like 7 as well. I wear glasses too and the right pair makes all the difference - like jewelry for your face! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-glasses#post-759027 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 16:12:08 +0000 Scarlet 759027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More than beige, good to hear about your transition. Actually, didn't I say recently I like your glasses? I did notice them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-glasses#post-759022 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 16:10:07 +0000 Scarlet 759022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, actually, number 2 and number 5 are my faves, but 5 actually looks so similar to my current glasses, just with a bit of rim, that there isn't so much point in changing. Actually the fact that you are so enthusiastic about 2 put a big smile on my face. I was a little uncertain if the shape was okay, but since you think so, I feel reassured. I really like the color--it feels really right to me and the scale also feels good. I have a narrow face, and it can be tricky. Mr. Scarlet hates change Therefore his favorite is 5 because he calls them a "transitional look" to something more different. Yes, he cracks me up. So in your opinion the buck could stop here? I know you hinted for a long time I could address my specs, so I want to do it right now that I am taking the plunge.</p> <p>Jonesy, I am so glad you like 2 also and think they look chic and modern, because honestly the shape is so similar to something I wore a good 12 years ago that it gave me pause. But those old glasses were black and never really looked that good on me because they were so harsh. I just liked the shape. SO, much reassured here.</p> <p>Thanks to everyone for voting. It is so useful to hear all these different opinions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-glasses#post-759017 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 16:04:57 +0000 morethanbeige 759017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2! Then #7.</p> <p>#2 looks SO good with your coloring. They are both delicate enough for your features and feisty enough for your style. They really open up your eyes. Love them.</p> <p>Just as a side note, I recently replaced my glasses, going from rimless "silhouettes" to plastic tortoise shell. It was a really big change for me and took some time to get used to, but now I feel so good in them. I feel it has updated my entire look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-glasses#post-759016 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 16:04:54 +0000 carrie 759016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Number 2, hands down! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-glasses#post-758996 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 15:41:23 +0000 deb 758996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p># 2 then #3 are my faves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-glasses#post-758995 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 15:41:01 +0000 Angie 758995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>High five, Jonesy! </p> <p>I forgot to ask whether you and Mr. Scarlet had a fave? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-glasses#post-758990 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 15:34:22 +0000 Jonesy 758990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2!!!!! I agree 100% with Angie's assessment! Those look super flattering and super chic &amp; modern (funny they look so modern, because they are really pretty classic, if that makes any sense...). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-glasses#post-758983 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 15:24:27 +0000 Angie 758983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Without a doubt - #2. Hands down and no contest. KILLER. The best colour, shape, lift and face framing of the lot by about a billion percent.</p> <p>And yay!!! I have been waiting to go specs shopping with you. </p> <p>FWIW, #3 is far too harsh for your delicate and pale features, and the rest of the specs lack the spunk that you so clearly emulate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-glasses#post-758978 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 15:19:50 +0000 pil 758978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think 2, 5 and 7 all look nice. Of course 2 is personal preference and what I would like to wear myself. 5 is more traditional and subdued and 7 is fun and kind of geeky. You look like Rosanna Arquette : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-glasses#post-758956 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 15:04:58 +0000 Scarlet 758956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Astrid, that is exactly what my husband says--that he sees the glasses #3 more than he sees me. I did like the shape though. #6 is the same shape but a different color, but still not the best for me, I think, although they are funky/fun. I also felt best in the colors of #2, but am not sure if the lower part is too round for my face.</p> <p>Lyn67, yes I was attracted to those glasses, but just like you say I am not sure I could really feel comfortable in the harsh black.</p> <p>Susie, thanks </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-glasses#post-758953 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 14:59:17 +0000 Susie 758953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #2 and #7<br /> And I really like your hair </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-glasses#post-758944 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 14:53:57 +0000 lyn67 758944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like nr 3 , but I know what you'll feel going from rimless to them, as I couldn't do it for my own self (am a flexible titan wire Sillouttes wearer, too-and was a pain to see my eyes framed that thick and dark-but I am a low contrast face, light blonde with very thin and fine hair, and blue eyes...)<br /> BTW I think your face and hair can support that frame well. They are a bit geeky, and needs kind of personality for them, too-so you'll have to think about-but lokking good, interresting, and current. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-glasses#post-758942 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 14:52:37 +0000 Astrid 758942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to say I'm not a fan of #3. When I look at the pictures I see the specs before I see you! I like the shape, but I think the black is too heavy. Do they have them in other colors? I really love #2, followed by #4. I like how #2 looks with your features and the color is lovely next to your hair and skin. Although I often differ when it comes to glasses, so I may well be alone with my opinion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-glasses#post-758931 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 14:41:56 +0000 DeclawedJaguar 758931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>3 and 4 look the best to me. The other ones are not bad, but just don't seem to be 10's. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-glasses#post-758921 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 14:33:49 +0000 Raisin 758921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #3 the best cause I like the dark rims look. If you find them too dark, then I also really like #4 for a softer look, and the shape suits you well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-glasses#post-758911 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 14:13:24 +0000 Scarlet 758911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On my bucket list before the baby comes--choose new glasses. Do any of these stand out to you? Or, if not, are there certain directions you could recommend? I currently wear rimless "silhouettes". I like them, but I would also like to have a back-up pair and something a little more "fun". I can't wear contact. </p>
