You definitely should find a super-flattering pair of glasses that show off how lovely your face is.</p> <p>Sorry, I have no suggestions on glasses... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-with-glasses-and-hair-advice#post-111063 Tue, 15 Dec 2009 19:49:46 +0000 Sarah 111063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You'd want to match these up with the "rules" Angie posted above, but I like the look of these:<br /> <a href="http://cdn3.ioffer.com/img/item/101/750/493/o_nlUfaPhlBJRH8Nj.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://cdn3.ioffer.com/img/ite.....JRH8Nj.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://www.crystalshades.com/Designer_Sunglasses/images/VPR_07I__2AU1O1_01.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.crystalshades.com/D.....1O1_01.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://www.cheap-designer-glasses.co.uk/cms/files/E%20Armani%20EA%209467%20Light%20bronze%20&#038;%20tortoise.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.cheap-designer-glas.....rtoise.jpg</a><br /> I have the second pair, but in purple. Pradas are fun, and after the hundreds of frames I tried I kept gravitating back to these. I also felt that a lot of frames aged me, but these are fun.<br /> Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-with-glasses-and-hair-advice#post-110970 Tue, 15 Dec 2009 13:57:22 +0000 Kristine 110970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you're gorgeous, even with your hair back. I love the braids, but I can understand why you wouldn't want to spend ten hours having them done. </p> <p>For frames, I think more contrast would look nice. For some reason, I think of dark cherry red. If you've figured out the colors that look good on you, you can't go wrong with frames that match or complement the colors in your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-with-glasses-and-hair-advice#post-110968 Tue, 15 Dec 2009 13:44:07 +0000 Maya 110968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow your skin is utterly flawless. Lucky girl. </p> <p>For specs I find myself gravitating towards the caramel color family. I tried on a pair of blonde tortoise frames when I was specs shopping and they looked atrocious on me, but they would be amazing on you. </p> <p>I don't know how old you are but you look quite young to me. I don't think you need yo fear a short spunky 'do. I love Taylor's suggestion! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-with-glasses-and-hair-advice#post-110959 Tue, 15 Dec 2009 07:35:21 +0000 Ele 110959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Helen, you are gorgeous!</p> <p>Do you have a pic of yourself from when you had the shorter hair? I'm thinking that maybe the style of the cut wasn't quite right, or something... I don't see why a proper, Halle Berry- style crop should age you. I certainly can't imagine devoting 10 hours to a hairstyle- wow! :|</p> <p>As for the glasses, I'd agree that while yours are fine, they're not really "doing" anything for you. I've learned through years of spec-wearing that the right pair can actually enhance your beauty/style, rather than just help you to see I think you're looking for something heavier (in shape- like a chunky, funky plastic pair) and lighter/brighter (in colour). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-with-glasses-and-hair-advice#post-110942 Tue, 15 Dec 2009 05:35:07 +0000 taylor 110942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you are beautiful...you could totally pull off a Halle Berry short do...if you dare to go super short:)</p> <p>You are as pretty, if not prettier:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-with-glasses-and-hair-advice#post-110939 Tue, 15 Dec 2009 05:19:11 +0000 greatsmile82 110939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh! And yes Alecia I did try going natural but my hair is super thick and it was really hard to manage. It felt like an old dry sponge no matter what I tried. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-with-glasses-and-hair-advice#post-110938 Tue, 15 Dec 2009 05:16:55 +0000 greatsmile82 110938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are all so nice! Thanks for all the great advice, warm welcomes and kind compliments. I liked the braids too but that picture is over a year old. I got those braids done on a trip to Uganda and it took two girls 10 hours to put them in! I've tried a pixie look in the past and I felt it aged - I'm really sensitive about looking older than I am. Maybe I'll give it another shot though. I'm going to have a hair appointment this week so I'll post my new do for your critique. I'm thinking maybe something longer like a weave just for the holidays depending what my stylist says. I really like changing it up.</p> <p>Thanks for the advice about the frames! Keep it coming! I'll probably get new ones early 2010 - pocket book is a little low right now.</p> <p>Happy hoidays, Helen </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-with-glasses-and-hair-advice#post-110605 Mon, 14 Dec 2009 05:12:20 +0000 Angie 110605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You really live up to your user name! I LOVE the plaits and you are very pretty. As for new specs, perhaps this guide will help: </p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2009/07/29/choosing-the-perfect-frames-for-your-eyeglasses/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2009/07/.....yeglasses/</a></p> <p>You're after something lighter in colour IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-with-glasses-and-hair-advice#post-110563 Mon, 14 Dec 2009 02:44:03 +0000 Jean Gray 110563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sheesh...you could wear ANY glasses and you'd still be just as pretty! But anyway...I can relate to the hair thing. I don't know how long you've had this style but I get bored with my own hair easily. I would be interested to see you in a pixie. You should try one of those things where you can try different styles on your face and post them here.<br /> The glasses you have are fine but as suggested I would definitely try something bolder also.<br /> With such a lovely face I would still pull oryour hair back occasionally because it looks very nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-with-glasses-and-hair-advice#post-110561 Mon, 14 Dec 2009 02:35:39 +0000 Beth 110561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the braids, too. And your username is so fitting...your smile is lovely:)</p> <p>A darker, chunkier frame would provide more impact and give you another option in your eyewear wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-with-glasses-and-hair-advice#post-110547 Mon, 14 Dec 2009 02:00:18 +0000 Christie 110547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're gorgeous. I'll echo the others that a chunkier frame will be more modern. I love your braids too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-with-glasses-and-hair-advice#post-110528 Mon, 14 Dec 2009 01:15:44 +0000 Alecia 110528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the braids, too. Have you considered not straightening your hair? </p> <p>I'm not much help with glasses but I suggest that you do like other ladies have done and go take pictures of a bunch of different frames and them post them. That usually helps people get it all sorted out.</p> <p>Welcome, by the way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-with-glasses-and-hair-advice#post-110512 Mon, 14 Dec 2009 00:48:40 +0000 marianna 110512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second the suggestion of a darker, chunkier frame. Something in a fun color. I'm useless when it comes to suggesting actual frames for your face, but there are many ladies on the forum who hopefully will chime in and give you great advice.</p> <p>I think you would look cute with a short pixie cut. Short hair is easier to maintain and I think you have the face for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-with-glasses-and-hair-advice#post-110509 Mon, 14 Dec 2009 00:43:54 +0000 Tricia 110509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know you're tired of your hair, but I really love the braids when you wear them down like in that first photo. As for your glasses, I like them, but I really love darker, chunkier frames - have you tried any like that?</p> <p>You're adorable BTW. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-with-glasses-and-hair-advice#post-110486 Sun, 13 Dec 2009 23:42:17 +0000 greatsmile82 110486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi All,</p> <p>I tried posting this before but my link didn't work properly so this is a repeat.<br /> I could use some help with my hair and picking better frames on my glasses. I find contacts are really uncomfortable to wear everyday and I like the convenience of glasses but I'm not sure if the frames I have are really working for me. Also I was looking at some recent photos of myself toay and I realized that my back up hairstyle of throwing on a hairband really isn't working. May you please take a look at these photos and make some suggestions? I've made a photobucket account with three of what I don't like and one old photo that I like.</p> <p><a href="http://i949.photobucket.com/albums/ad331/greatsmile82/hair%20and%20glasses%20help/P1310684.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i949.photobucket.com/al.....310684.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://i949.photobucket.com/albums/ad331/greatsmile82/hair%20and%20glasses%20help/hairandglasseshelp2.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i949.photobucket.com/al.....shelp2.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://i949.photobucket.com/albums/ad331/greatsmile82/hair%20and%20glasses%20help/hairandglasseshelp3.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i949.photobucket.com/al.....shelp3.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://i949.photobucket.com/albums/ad331/greatsmile82/hair%20and%20glasses%20help/hairandglasseshelp.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i949.photobucket.com/al.....eshelp.jpg</a></p> <p>By the way this is my first time using photobucket so if the link doesn't work please let me know so I can try to fix it.</p> <p>Thanks so much!
