To me they are perfectly classy on your perfectly classy face. You look stunning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-of-glasses-frames#post-98469 Thu, 01 Oct 2009 15:49:30 +0000 Angie 98469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s great that you found a pair of specs you love! I too prefer the first funky pair because of the way the shape of the frames contrast with the exaggerated arch of your eyebrows. It’s so devastatingly delicious I can’t stand it. It sends me into orbit! But if they don’t feel like you, then that’s no good either. Enjoy your new specs :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-of-glasses-frames#post-98383 Thu, 01 Oct 2009 02:00:10 +0000 Maya 98383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you were able to find THE glasses (and I was able to help!). I have to admit I love the funky ones (purely subjective--I am a funky person :)), but it sounds like you were after a more classic look and the others look fantastic too. The shape is really nice. What color are they? They seem to have a lot of tone and highlights. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-of-glasses-frames#post-98373 Thu, 01 Oct 2009 01:24:43 +0000 chewyspaghetti 98373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those look great- glad you found something that you love. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-of-glasses-frames#post-98370 Thu, 01 Oct 2009 01:22:08 +0000 katiwei 98370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I took Maya's advice (thank you!) and went with what my gut told me was right. I ended up finding what I think is the most perfect pair for me! They feel like a part of me just like my hair, they're so right for me. Thank you all who weighed in and gave your opinions and advice.</p> <p>Here are <a href="http://s14.photobucket.com/albums/a318/portrgirl/?action=view&amp;current=100_6031.jpg">THE glasses</a>.</p> <p>And for fun, this is the <a href="http://s14.photobucket.com/albums/a318/portrgirl/?action=view&amp;current=AnneEtValentinFidji1.jpg">other pair</a> I found shopping the same day. My friend really loved these, but I decided they were too funky for me. I'm not a very funky person. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-of-glasses-frames#post-94614 Thu, 17 Sep 2009 17:57:49 +0000 Sarah 94614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kenneth Cole!<br /> Now to read the other responses... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-of-glasses-frames#post-94605 Thu, 17 Sep 2009 17:40:00 +0000 Anonymous 94605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I liked the Kenneth Cole. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-of-glasses-frames#post-94585 Thu, 17 Sep 2009 16:09:32 +0000 Maya 94585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Why not look for something similar to the AM's with a slightly different shape? It sounds like they were close to being winners. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-of-glasses-frames#post-94540 Thu, 17 Sep 2009 14:00:33 +0000 katiwei 94540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all so much for the comments thus far!</p> <p>I brought the Alain Mikli's in to work to show my coworkers and they nailed what was bothering me about them. I hadn't noticed (and it's impossible to see in the photos) that the frames are beveled giving it a very angular look. They said that it'd be a decent pair for me but that they're not absolute winners.</p> <p>Looks like I know how I'm spending my Saturday now! Any advice on what I should look for would be appreciated. I'll likely post photos of my finds this weekend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-of-glasses-frames#post-94539 Thu, 17 Sep 2009 13:51:21 +0000 shannon 94539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Without reading any posts I picked the Kenneth Cole as my favorite on you. I'm not feeling the AM's at all. Maybe it's because I just don't care for the look of part frameless glasses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-of-glasses-frames#post-94536 Thu, 17 Sep 2009 13:26:22 +0000 velvetychocolate 94536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with your BF - those AM glasses look really nice on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-of-glasses-frames#post-94488 Thu, 17 Sep 2009 04:34:34 +0000 Evelina 94488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to post earlier and lost my password but my very first impression was that I like the Marc Jacobs the best of them all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-of-glasses-frames#post-94434 Thu, 17 Sep 2009 01:27:35 +0000 Maya 94434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Portrgirl, if you don't love them then it doesn't really matter what your bf or any of us think. Glasses are a relatively long term investment and you shouldn't compromise. Remember, you have too see these on your face EVERY DAY. If there is something that bothers you now, be it the silver bits or a heavy bridge, that problem is just going to nag you every time you put your specs on.</p> <p>Keep looking and don't settle until you find exactly what you want. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-of-glasses-frames#post-94424 Thu, 17 Sep 2009 01:07:12 +0000 katiwei 94424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My boyfriend is loving the fact that you all agree with him so far. He keeps telling me they're great, but I'm just not seeing it. </p> <p>I guess I'm a bit concerned that they're: 1) too wide for my face, 2) too heavy in the bridge and 3) too straight across the top (they don't mirror the shape of my eyebrows). Are they too masculine?</p> <p>I'm not really sold on any of them, but I feel most comfortable in the Marc Jacobs (and I like the shape and the fact that my eyes are centered). I don't like the silver bows though; I'd prefer them to be the same dark color. </p> <p>Another option is to keep looking... I'm open to suggestions on other frames/shapes that would look good on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-of-glasses-frames#post-94409 Thu, 17 Sep 2009 00:08:06 +0000 Angie 94409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Without looking at any of the responses or the thread, I say hands down Alan Milkili. Kenneth Cole are next. Which do you like best? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-of-glasses-frames#post-94405 Wed, 16 Sep 2009 23:53:06 +0000 Maya 94405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to give it to the boyfriend. I really like the AM's on you. The Marc Jacobs ones are nice but not special. I'm inclined to veto the Ray Bans (too droopy) and Alexander McQueens (which you seem to already know). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-of-glasses-frames#post-94401 Wed, 16 Sep 2009 23:35:13 +0000 chewyspaghetti 94401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the BF </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-of-glasses-frames#post-94396 Wed, 16 Sep 2009 22:45:09 +0000 katiwei 94396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need the opinions of all you very stylish women on a bunch of glasses frames on me. (If you see any weird things on the sides of the glasses, they're the tags.) I wear glasses everyday, all day, so I need a good pair!</p> <p><a href="http://s14.photobucket.com/albums/a318/portrgirl/Glasses/?albumview=grid" rel="nofollow">http://s14.photobucket.com/alb.....mview=grid</a></p> <p>My boyfriend loves the Alain Mikli pair and I think I like the Marc Jacobs the best. Looking at it now, I see that the Alexander McQueens are just a joke on me, but I'll keep them up for fun. </p>
