Sorry I missed the thread. REALLY busy with clients at the moment.&nbsp;</p> <p>#1 or #3 all the way. </p> <p>#1 is a very flattering shape and more conservative. #3 is a lot of fun.&nbsp;</p> <p>#2 is droopy. Pass.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/narrowing-down-the-specs-quest#post-1736842 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 23:49:12 +0000 jill58 1736842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #2! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/narrowing-down-the-specs-quest#post-1736840 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 23:41:36 +0000 pil 1736840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just bumping in the hope Angie will offer an opinion </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/narrowing-down-the-specs-quest#post-1735618 Tue, 04 Oct 2016 05:19:21 +0000 kellygirl 1735618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think You can go wrong with any of these.

They look like they belong on you; they draw attention to your eyes (and I imagine your hair, from the side, given the tortoise bows). I like the smooth appearance, which seems to echo your smooth hair and skin. I prefer the shape of these to #2. There is a slight lift in the frame shape that I find flattering.<br />#2 are very pretty on you; the colors look like a gorgeous blend of your hair and eye colors. The shape has a little more of a hard edge. I think these frames are a good option if you're leaning toward going a little bolder but not as bold as #3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/narrowing-down-the-specs-quest#post-1735563 Tue, 04 Oct 2016 02:35:43 +0000 pil 1735563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone!<br /> I'm leaning toward #1. The teal version of #3 should be in to try this week, but specs are such a tough decision for me because they are so front and center. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/narrowing-down-the-specs-quest#post-1735251 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 14:17:21 +0000 Bijou 1735251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/narrowing-down-the-specs-quest#post-1735240 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 14:01:14 +0000 texstyle 1735240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love #2 and find the shape very flattering, but think #1 is good too. #3 is sort of distracting to my eye with the busy pattern but maybe it's just me (my eyes have trouble with some busy patterns). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/narrowing-down-the-specs-quest#post-1735237 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 13:57:25 +0000 lyn67 1735237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love nr 2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/narrowing-down-the-specs-quest#post-1735225 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 13:37:43 +0000 Banoffi 1735225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess I'm&nbsp;the outlier here. &nbsp;I actually prefer #3. &nbsp;I do like the other two though, so you really can't go wrong with any of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/narrowing-down-the-specs-quest#post-1735210 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 13:06:55 +0000 Suz 1735210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jill, I'm having a really tough time deciding! I looked last night and came back this morning.&nbsp;</p> <p>#1 seems to centre your eyes more and echo your eyebrow pretty exactly.&nbsp;</p> <p>#2 is a really nice colour but eyes seem not quite as centred.&nbsp;</p> <p>#3 is a lot of fun!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/narrowing-down-the-specs-quest#post-1735137 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 10:05:12 +0000 Karie 1735137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just popping back in to say that even though I prefer #2, I think any of these would be a good choice!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/narrowing-down-the-specs-quest#post-1735009 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 01:00:12 +0000 pil 1735009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my goodness, I just noticed I have something in my teeth in #1.

I think it enhances your face more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/narrowing-down-the-specs-quest#post-1734874 Sun, 02 Oct 2016 20:00:02 +0000 pil 1734874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I'm back asking for more opinions on the new specs. I *think* I've narrowed the choices down to these three.</p> <p>My husband went to See eyewear with me today. He isn't much of a shopper but seems to be content now that we are now attending a pre season hockey game at our alma mater.</p> <p>#1 was our favorite from See. They are a solid metal slate blue (they have plastic tortoiseshell bows) that is very nice with my eyes.</p> <p>#2 is a teal tortoiseshell.</p> <p>#3 is Angie's favorite pair from the first round. I have a teal pair on order at the optician's to try, but think the size may be too much of a 'statement' for me.</p> <p>They all have the option of custom clip on sunglasses.</p> <p>I thought #1 was the hands down winner - until I looked again at the pic of #2. Of course my friends here are split down the middle and my husband thinks either are fine. </p> <p>What do you kind YLF members think? Will one of these work or should I keep looking? Thanks a bunch! </p>
