They are my favorite by a long shot! Love the shape and the color combo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-new-specs-part-ii/page/2#post-383711 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 18:01:29 +0000 Astrid 383711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought about this some more and I don't think I will be getting the tortoise shell frames. I don't think I like them enough to be happy with them for the next three to four years, even if they look good on me. They are just not "me". I'm still thinking about the other pair, because it's true that the shape is really nice on me.</p> <p>I did some more searching today and found another pair I really liked. I had a really positive reaction to them when I tried them on, I like the vibe these frames have. But again I'm not sure whether they are droop-y or not. The SA that took the pic was really tall, maybe that's why it looks as if my eyes aren't centered in the middle of the frames. It seemed to be alright when I looked at my mirror image. </p> <p>What do you think about it all? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-new-specs-part-ii/page/2#post-383229 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 19:53:07 +0000 Dashrashi 383229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Paradoxically, the first pair look slightly less heavy to me--I think it's because they're backed with clear (it looks like, from your third picture) rather than being green all the way through. I'm normally totally nuts for tortoise-shell anything, but I actually prefer the green pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-new-specs-part-ii/page/2#post-383192 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 19:10:47 +0000 san 383192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them in the dark green color you tried first. I'm not crazy about tortoise shell anything for some reason. I really do love the the frames on you in the first color. I don't feel they are too dark on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-new-specs-part-ii/page/2#post-383163 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 18:22:29 +0000 Astrid 383163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mmh, I like the look in the pic, but it's more the idea of tortoise shell glasses that makes me hesitate. They look good, but I'm not sure they are "me". I would have never ever tried tortoise shell if these concrete specs weren't in this color. I'm not sure if this is just one of these new and unfamiliar things you have to embrace from time to time, or a sign that I shouldn't do this. I have to wear these for at last three years! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-new-specs-part-ii#post-383075 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 17:10:31 +0000 sarah 383075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them! I'm so glad you check on other colors. The golden tones pick up the warm tones in your hair, and they'll be neutral enough to wear with everything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-new-specs-part-ii#post-383068 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 17:06:07 +0000 Astrid 383068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I thought the tortoise shell ones a little bit softer, too.</p> <p>Thanks for the term, Khris. </p> <p>You don't think this warm toned specs would look strange with the cool tones of my wardrobe? If I get the tortoise shell specs, I would have really "classic" looking frames. I think that would be the first time I had specs that were so unostentatious. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-new-specs-part-ii#post-383057 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 16:59:18 +0000 chewyspaghetti 383057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like the tortoise shell (that's what we call that pattern), but that is my favorite for glasses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-new-specs-part-ii#post-383056 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 16:59:14 +0000 Angie 383056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the brown </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-new-specs-part-ii#post-383053 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 16:57:33 +0000 Astrid 383053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, these are the #5 frames from above in black. Just not photographed with the flash, makes all the difference in how the colors are perceived. Maybe I just have to get used to the look...</p> <p>Edit: Now that you say it, they look a bit blueish in this pic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-new-specs-part-ii#post-383051 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 16:54:31 +0000 Queen Mum 383051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>honestly, I think both of these colors are great. In fact, I kindof want to say that I prefer the color of the first pair... are those blue? I don't think they are too narrow. i think these are perfect for your face. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-new-specs-part-ii#post-383042 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 16:42:39 +0000 Astrid 383042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, here are the pics, this time without flash. Now you can see what a difference the flash makes! And the shape looks also a bit different from the first pic, I think one SA zoomed and the other didn't (meaning the first one was taken with wide angle). I liked it better in the first pic. These are the same frames though, I promise!</p> <p>I'm not sure this is it yet. If I look at these pics, I think that both colors aren't really perfect for me. I think I need something softer. Any thoughts?</p> <p>Edit: I just took a second look, are these wide enough? They look a bit too narrow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-new-specs-part-ii#post-382949 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 13:43:32 +0000 Angie 382949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lets see the lighter colour too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-new-specs-part-ii#post-382901 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 11:14:55 +0000 Astrid 382901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, airin! Although they are really a dark green, they look like black from afar.</p> <p>I went into the store on my way home from Uni and asked about the frames. They are available in one other color and they even had them there (I just didn't see it). The SA called it "Havanna", it's brown with yellow spots. You probably know what I mean. It's a warm color and I would have never thought to wear brown specs, but it is much softer on my features and not as harsh as the black frames. Both frames are earmarked for me until Monday. Because I came from Uni I didn't have my camera with me, but I will go back this afternoon and take some pics for comparison. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-new-specs-part-ii#post-382885 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 07:53:36 +0000 Irene 382885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like #5. Actually, the ones I like the least on you are the red ones. Besides, you say #5 are green, which would match your beautiful eyes so well! Oh well, I had to compliment you on your gorgeous eyes one way or another and that's the best I came up with lol </p>
