I had them replace lenses in some frames I really liked and I think the cost was less than $100 US. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-geeky-glasses#post-1070862 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 09:15:42 +0000 Deborah 1070862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Andrea, I think they look fab. &nbsp;They suit you and you don't look like an owl :)<br />Im looking forward to seeing the other pair too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-geeky-glasses#post-1070860 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 09:14:08 +0000 Andrea W 1070860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the lovely comments all.</p> <p>Ornella - I got the lenses put in at Vision Express (slightly more expensive than the quote from Specsavers - but they were made within an hour).</p> <p>Ceit - Wow, can't believe the price you had quoted for your lenses - you must have been reeling!</p> <p>Deb - When I get the lenses put in my cat eye pair I will post a pic on the forum. &nbsp;I have added a pic below of the other frames as a taster.</p> <p>I suppose these glasses are hipsterish (I would class my style as more quirky than hipster though). &nbsp;The frame style has grown on me alot and I have several pairs of stylin' heavier frames to wear depending on my mood/outfit.</p> <p>Anyways, thanks for the boost.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-geeky-glasses#post-1070083 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 19:28:19 +0000 deb 1070083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like these!

As a fellow glasses wearer, I think they look very current and on-trend. Bosses never know what they are talking about! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-geeky-glasses#post-1069814 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 15:35:33 +0000 Thistle 1069814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah for the geeky glasses bandwagon!&nbsp; These remind me of the 80s in a good way.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-geeky-glasses#post-1069671 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 13:10:26 +0000 VernieJane 1069671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't worry, they look great. I also jumped on the geeky glasses bandwagon last Spring when I went to get new ones. The "hipster" style was much cheaper than the Kenzo ones I really wanted. A couple hundred in difference, so I opted for the trendy hipster look, despite being 37 and not sure if I could pull it off. Everyone compliments me on the glasses now, and I'm sure it will be the same for you. Very cute, they really do suit you well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-geeky-glasses#post-1069584 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 11:28:48 +0000 Anonymous 1069584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just got a quote on replacing just the lenses in my glasses. $500. Ouch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-geeky-glasses#post-1069570 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 11:08:22 +0000 Carla 1069570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These work very well, and such a close match to your hair colour. This shape seems very on trend...I'm noting deeper (read larger) frames with this modified cat's eye (slightly winged at the top, squared at the bottom) in magazines and recent street style pics.</p> <p>Of course, this is the shape I just got (thanks to Angie, et al.). I hope yours work out for you as well as mine have worked out for me. Well done on the cost savings. Mine cost just under $800.

There is a lot of frame, but you can pull it off. They suit your style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-geeky-glasses#post-1069563 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 10:39:16 +0000 RunswithDolphins 1069563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I personally don't look good in eyeglasses but I sure admire people who can pull them off with such style.&nbsp; These look super cute on you especially with your hair.&nbsp; Would love to see a pic with you smiling - I'll bet you don't look goofy at all. :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-geeky-glasses#post-1069552 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 10:21:28 +0000 gryffin 1069552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love you hair!&nbsp; (to me perfect now)&nbsp; Really love your glasses!!&nbsp; They fit your fact perfectly and they compliment, not conceal your eyes.&nbsp; They look like they were made for you, your eyes sit perfectly in the middle and it brings them center stage!!&nbsp; Jealous can't wear important frames but I will enjoy seeing them on you!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-geeky-glasses#post-1069536 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 09:55:18 +0000 Ornella 1069536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Andrea! Nice to see you.&nbsp;Firstly, I love your shorter do - it really opens up your beautiful face.</p> <p>Regarding the frames - I think they look fab on you and suit your quirky style perfectly. Not many people can carry such prominent frames, but based on&nbsp;how much I know you(r style) from the forum -&nbsp;you certainly can.</p> <p>Great job for getting the whole specs&nbsp;for such great price - I know frames and lens are not a cheap deal in the UK. Do you mind me asking in which store you had the lens done at?</p> <p>Finally, regarding your boss' comment - I honestly don't get people who allow themselves to&nbsp;blurb anything. My rule is if not asked for opinion and&nbsp;you have nothing nice to say, then don't say anything. (This of course does not apply for YLF -&nbsp;when I don't say anything on many threads it's simply because I don't have time :-)&nbsp;)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-geeky-glasses#post-1069530 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 09:50:22 +0000 Anonymous 1069530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh love these on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-geeky-glasses#post-1069526 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 09:43:54 +0000 merwoman 1069526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love!!! And love you hair! To me eye, the glasses seem a perfect fit, love the contrast of the frames with your porcelain skin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-geeky-glasses#post-1069525 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 09:40:34 +0000 Andrea W 1069525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First of all, apologies regarding the miserable face in the photo but I just looked goofy when I tried to smile! &nbsp;Also my hair is unstraightened (ie bushy) and it needs a cut.</p> <p>Still getting used to the style of these glasses I picked up at the weekend. &nbsp;When I wore them to work on Monday one of the bosses said I looked like an owl! &nbsp;However, I'm not going to let them put me off - well I'll try anyway.</p> <p>The Balenciaga frames were purchased from TK Maxx online (along with a cat eye pair which I need to have lenses put into) and I had the prescription lenses put in. &nbsp;Therefore the complete frame and lenses came to about £150 (which may sound expensive - but my lenses really hike the price anyway).</p> <p>What do you think? &nbsp;I will not be offended if they're not your cup of tea. &nbsp;Your honesty is appreciated.</p> <p>Thanks all &amp; Happy Halloween!</p> <p> </p>
