It's harder to find tortoise patterns that aren't too warm-toned for me, and this one, as many have commented, has amazingly harmonious tones for me. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Bijou, I agree about weight. These all felt about the same. Curiously I didn't end up with any metal frames among the contenders, although I didn't exclude them from my search. I tried on some that were so light you could barely feel them on.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>I think I'm going to order option 1 (photos 3-4)</b>! <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>It's so helpful to have your input. I have all these competing ideas in my head about what I "should" get: something different from what I have, something new looking, a color rather than a neutral this time, ooooh those cool shapes are fun! So many variables enter into my thought process, and they aren't necessarily ones that are going to lead me to what I'll be happy to put on my face day after day. I was thinking 3-4 was kind of a safe choice, maybe not daring enough. In reality, I want what is flattering and what is in keeping with my style, and from past experience, I can see that "daring" is actually not something I value in my eyewear choices. <br /></div></p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-eyeglasses#post-2301874 Fri, 13 Jan 2023 19:49:41 +0000 Lesley 2301874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations on looking great in everything, but 13/14 are my absolute favorites! A little edgy, a pop of color, different enough from your current frames to feel fresh and new... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-eyeglasses#post-2301839 Fri, 13 Jan 2023 17:22:06 +0000 Anonymous 2301839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just love 3/4 on you. &nbsp;So chic, especially with that fab sweater you have on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-eyeglasses#post-2301831 Fri, 13 Jan 2023 16:49:16 +0000 Suz 2301831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #3 and also #15. The rose is so flattering and the tortoise is perfect!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-eyeglasses#post-2301826 Fri, 13 Jan 2023 16:36:12 +0000 Anonymous 2301826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 3/4 and 5/6- but none are bad at all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-eyeglasses#post-2301813 Fri, 13 Jan 2023 15:29:37 +0000 Bijou 2301813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favourites are 3-4 and 5-6 which are a nice change from your current glasses, which I like very much too. For me the frame weight always comes into the decision too, I like my frames to be as light as possible. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-eyeglasses#post-2301810 Fri, 13 Jan 2023 15:21:12 +0000 Anne 2301810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>None of them would be a horrible choice, but I think Option 1 and Option 7 stand out as the most flattering with your coloring and features.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-eyeglasses#post-2301800 Fri, 13 Jan 2023 14:36:58 +0000 Dee 2301800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My 2 cents would be 3-4 and 15-16. To me they both harmonize well with your colouring and facial features. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-eyeglasses#post-2301768 Fri, 13 Jan 2023 10:47:54 +0000 Star (Lise) 2301768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#3 for sure, and then #15. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-eyeglasses#post-2301760 Fri, 13 Jan 2023 08:29:00 +0000 anchie 2301760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#3! They look great with your hair, eyes and even that sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-eyeglasses#post-2301758 Fri, 13 Jan 2023 08:23:35 +0000 lyn67 2301758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I deliberately didn't look at other's comments and I loved the first and the last pair of the try-ons (3-4&amp;15-16) the best--deep from my guts at the first look! Wow, for both. Oh and ETA 5-6 are looking great, too!</p> <p>I also have tortoiseshells now, and if you haven't had another patterned one in your life than I advice to think about accepting this pattern on your face with your patterns in your existing wardrobe, or rather-do not think on the subject at all-and then it may provide a kick out of your existing style ruts then-IYKWIM!:-)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-eyeglasses#post-2301734 Fri, 13 Jan 2023 03:51:52 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2301734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I appreciate all this input!</div><div><br /></div><div>What surprises me is how differently I feel about them in the photos than I did in person. 9-10 is the same style as my current frame, but in a dark-to-light teal gradient. I really liked them in the store. In the photos, I feel they look quite serious.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-eyeglasses#post-2301728 Fri, 13 Jan 2023 03:42:54 +0000 Jaime 2301728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not to be trusted, and think my opinion is swayed by expression and who knows what, but 3/4 is my pick. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-eyeglasses#post-2301708 Fri, 13 Jan 2023 02:29:08 +0000 Indigoprint 2301708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like # 3.

Photo 1 is my current pair. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Kate, good point. The frames in 7-8 might come in a different color, but I'm guessing it would be bolder than I would be comfortable with. <br /></div><div><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-eyeglasses#post-2301684 Fri, 13 Jan 2023 00:23:52 +0000 Kate 2301684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>3-4, 5-6, and 15-16. I do like the shape of 7-8, but would prefer a color that is not so close to what you already have. Is it available in a neutral tortoiseshell or gray? You wear glasses really well. Take my suggestions with a big grain of salt. I am terrible at choosing frames and my choices over the years sure bear that out!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-eyeglasses#post-2301680 Fri, 13 Jan 2023 00:12:12 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2301680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the first (for color) and third (for shape) best on you.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-eyeglasses#post-2301678 Fri, 13 Jan 2023 00:08:43 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2301678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Thanks for these thoughts! <br /></div><div>cjh, I look forward to seeing yours!<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-eyeglasses#post-2301676 Fri, 13 Jan 2023 00:01:55 +0000 Elle 2301676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love 3/4 on you!&nbsp; &nbsp;Second favorite is 13/14.&nbsp; But pictures can be deceiving so go with what makes you happiest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-eyeglasses#post-2301673 Thu, 12 Jan 2023 23:46:40 +0000 phoebe 2301673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>3 is by far my favorite for a few reasons including that they harmonize so well with your hair </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-eyeglasses#post-2301672 Thu, 12 Jan 2023 23:45:46 +0000 slim cat 2301672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #3-4 and #15-16 the most .Lots of fun shapes though . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-eyeglasses#post-2301666 Thu, 12 Jan 2023 23:24:51 +0000 cjh 2301666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A backwards look but I would put 7, 9 and 11 at the bottom of the list. They strike me as too dark and closing in. 13 is dark, too, but an interesting shape. 15 and 5 are probably my favorites.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>I ordered new frames the other day. I’ll post.
