Well, YOU are my favorite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-glasses-installment-2#post-1256457 Tue, 20 May 2014 14:57:04 +0000 Angie 1256457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, a more substantial frame, Sveta. The shape of the&nbsp;Versace's is very good, but their daintiness looks off to my eye. You are on the right track. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-glasses-installment-2#post-1256202 Tue, 20 May 2014 04:02:29 +0000 shiny 1256202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, if you need for both reading and computer, what about bifocals/trifocals?</p> <p>I know I need to bite the bullet and just get trifocals already, as my eye doctor recommended months ago,&nbsp;but I have resisted for &nbsp;a variety of reasons, that made a lot of&nbsp;sense to me at one time, but not anymore.&nbsp;Like you&nbsp;I could get away reading without glasses but the computer glasses I got a few months back have worked so well, now i need reading glasses... and I also think my longer distance prescription has changed again, because my contacts don't seem right anymore. (By change, I mean *improved* -- I am some bizarre freak of nature with eyesight that is actually improving with age.)</p> <p>I hate to say this but, as much as I want fashionable trendy frames, my Rx changes so much and has been in&nbsp;such flux, I am better off going cheap with the frames, especially since I rarely wear them out of the house.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-glasses-installment-2#post-1256189 Tue, 20 May 2014 03:42:30 +0000 Missey 1256189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love 1 the most, bit I am partial to the lift a cat eye gives to the face.&nbsp; I think 5 is lovely on you, as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-glasses-installment-2#post-1256148 Tue, 20 May 2014 02:37:08 +0000 Sveta 1256148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your opinions!<br />Dustt, this is a good point. As I never had glasses before I have no idea how actually wear them. I need to take it into consideration for sure &nbsp;- thank you.<br />Suz, I need separate glasses for computer and reading and these are for the computer as this is where I spend most of my work time and where my eyes get really tired. I have a reading prescription as well but I may not get them yet as I can read fine&nbsp;without glasses.&nbsp;<br />I like the narrow rectangular glasses&nbsp;&nbsp;but unfortunately most of them are too narrow for my eyes so my upper lids stick out over the frames. Some people think nothing of it but this drives me crazy!<br />Angie, you made the penny drop - too delicate! Right, I cannot wear anything delicate including glasses and have to remember that! So this means more substantial frame, right?<br />I am going to the other shop this week&nbsp;to ask if they have those yellow frames in a different color because I really like them too.<br />Again thank you so much for helping me out, I am afraid installment #3 may be coming as well because I am not in love with any of those (unless the yellow frames come in a good for me color).</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-glasses-installment-2#post-1256135 Tue, 20 May 2014 02:23:26 +0000 shiny 1256135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking at this set of frames again, the Versace's somehow do something magic to Sveta's cheekbones. Can you see it? Flip from one photo to the next, focusing on the apple of her cheekbone, to see what I mean. I am not sure what it is -- is it frame shape or color or delicate vs thicker -- or how to articulate what I'm seeing.....</p> <p>Versace's seem to soften her features and really call out her cheekbones in a delightful way,&nbsp;whereas the other frames to me seem too heavy or something, I thought last night it was color, but maybe it is actually the shape, and how they are cutting into the cheekbone, rather than above it....&nbsp;</p> <p>Now that I look again,&nbsp;I do agree on the yellow frames in the first thread -- that shape -- does the exact same delightful apple cheekbone effect as these Versace's. But I'm also not crazy about the yellow.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-glasses-installment-2#post-1256095 Tue, 20 May 2014 01:43:24 +0000 pil 1256095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore #1 on you, Sveta.<br /> Can you give me the style information on the Versaces? My sister is looking for purple glasses and this is one of the shapes we have been looking at. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-glasses-installment-2#post-1255926 Mon, 19 May 2014 22:47:27 +0000 dustt 1255926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a fan of #1 on you Sveta - it seems to really open up you face!! - if they are just for reading and the computer - make sure you can see over them if needed -so see distance - overwise you'll be pulling them up and down all day.&nbsp; That is the reason that given my rather HUGE face I tend for a rectangular set of readers </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-glasses-installment-2#post-1255704 Mon, 19 May 2014 17:38:12 +0000 rachylou 1255704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #4 and then #1 because they're friendly looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-glasses-installment-2#post-1255578 Mon, 19 May 2014 14:20:53 +0000 Angie 1255578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a spanner, Sveta. I like #3 best, followed by #1. I might like the shape of the&nbsp;yellow frames on the other thread the best of all though - but in another colour.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like the&nbsp;Versace the least actually&nbsp;-&nbsp;too delicate, although the shape is lovely on your brow line.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-glasses-installment-2#post-1255540 Mon, 19 May 2014 12:49:10 +0000 lyn67 1255540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nr 5 wins all here for me. Feels trendy and it has a slightly uprounded shape which is uplifting and kind of echos the shape of your cheek on the sides. Then nr 4, which echos more the shape of your brows. </p> <p>Now, so curious what Angie will say. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-glasses-installment-2#post-1255467 Mon, 19 May 2014 09:03:23 +0000 ManidipaM 1255467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>of this lot I favour one. reasons being it follows your eyebrows best (the other frames are straighter on top) and the width is actually to my eyes more complementary to your wide set eyes. my second best is the fourth one </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-glasses-installment-2#post-1255466 Mon, 19 May 2014 09:02:40 +0000 Rusty 1255466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Sveta ! You have a lovely face shape that suits a lots of different styles. Lucky you ! My vote goes for 4. Your eye sits in the right place and they have a refined and classic look to my eye. I think the purple ramps up the style factor in just the right way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-glasses-installment-2#post-1255455 Mon, 19 May 2014 08:21:01 +0000 Ledonna N. 1255455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>5 is my favorite but, you have such a great face shape that all compliment you well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-glasses-installment-2#post-1255410 Mon, 19 May 2014 04:31:46 +0000 Laura J 1255410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, I just saw your other post. &nbsp;And knowing these can be reading glasses, I just want you to know I absolutely adore the yellow glasses in the other post. &nbsp;I like the red glasses in the other post, too. &nbsp;But I have glasses like those and I always like bright colors. &nbsp;And the last glasses in your other post are fabulous! &nbsp;I had a hard time seeing the colors in this post, so I like the colorful ones in the other post more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-glasses-installment-2#post-1255401 Mon, 19 May 2014 04:09:02 +0000 Adelfa 1255401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 4 too, then 5. 1 is appealing but I don't like it on you as well as the other two. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-glasses-installment-2#post-1255393 Mon, 19 May 2014 03:49:44 +0000 Neel 1255393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for 4. Love the lighter berry shade on you and the shape of the glasses too. I was completely confused in the first set of glasses and I wasn't sure which one I liked! Which is why I did not comment! I like Suz's idea of seeing the best ofs side by side for a final decision. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-glasses-installment-2#post-1255382 Mon, 19 May 2014 03:40:29 +0000 Kat 1255382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look naturally dramatic and chic in glasses, really. &nbsp;I like your taste and I liked the first round of frames you posted, too. &nbsp;Of this group, I like #4 -- and great that simple lenses for reading give you lots of leeway. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-glasses-installment-2#post-1255357 Mon, 19 May 2014 03:16:58 +0000 Sveta 1255357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Deb, Karie&nbsp;and Susie for loving the "big ones"! :-)<br />Laura, this is for reading &nbsp;/ computer glasses so pretty simple lenses.<br />Zibbets, this is last season Gap boyfriend shirt in a cat pattern.<br />Shiny, this is interesting because Versace ones seemed the "tamest" to me of the bunch...<br />Gigi, I also wish I had a straight shot of the Versace pair..:-( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-glasses-installment-2#post-1255348 Mon, 19 May 2014 03:11:47 +0000 Isabel 1255348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>4 is my favorite, followed closely by 5. &nbsp; &nbsp;: &nbsp;) &nbsp; But the face..oh the face &nbsp;!!!! PUUUUUURRRRRRRFECT ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-glasses-installment-2#post-1255342 Mon, 19 May 2014 03:10:14 +0000 Suz 1255342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are just for reading, correct? Or also for computer?&nbsp;</p> <p>It is relevant, because a large frame can be annoying for only reading glasses. If it is also for computer, the trouble is not so significant.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think I prefer the ones I liked best in the earlier thread to any of these...but could be persuaded otherwise by seeing side by side of the "best of" versions.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-glasses-installment-2#post-1255332 Mon, 19 May 2014 03:04:35 +0000 Zibbets 1255332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Number 3 is my favorite for color and shape.</p> <p>I also love the shirt you're wearing. Does it have tiny animals on it?? Would love details, if you care to share! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-glasses-installment-2#post-1255328 Mon, 19 May 2014 02:56:34 +0000 shiny 1255328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Versace's are my favorite because they are not as heavy/dark as the others, and the shape is different and unique. #1 - I like where they are going -- and love the pink arms --&nbsp;but the front seems too dark/heavy and they are too big for your face. #2 - fit well but they are kind of ...boring ...for what I think of&nbsp;your style. I suppose they are "safe" but not wow. #4 - nice fit and shape, but&nbsp;I think I would prefer a lighter purple.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-glasses-installment-2#post-1255315 Mon, 19 May 2014 02:41:08 +0000 Gigi 1255315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 2, 3, and 4, although the pic in 4 is not quite straight ahead, so I'm not 100% positive if I would like it as well as 2 and 3. As for the color diff between 2 and 3, I don't see much difference and would probably want to see more pics to decide between the two.</p> <p>Funny that Deb and Susie both liked 1. That was actually my least favorite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-glasses-installment-2#post-1255311 Mon, 19 May 2014 02:38:51 +0000 Karie 1255311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They all look good on you, but before I read the responses above mine, I said, "I like #1 best." My second choice is either #4 or #5 - it's tough to choose between them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-glasses-installment-2#post-1255306 Mon, 19 May 2014 02:33:31 +0000 Laura J 1255306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My advice will depend on your prescription. &nbsp;I have a "bad" prescription and need to avoid larger frames to not get the dreaded "coke bottle" effect. &nbsp;If that's not an issue, I like the shape of the 1st. &nbsp;I like the color of the 3rd, but that's the only one I could really see the color in. &nbsp;If you don't love any of them, though, keep looking. &nbsp;I've had good results with some online places if you want to take a cheap plunge with colorful glasses. &nbsp;If you don't have a bad prescription, you could get a couple pairs for $20 to try out more adventurous styles and then replicate them with a better quality pair. &nbsp;I have high quality glasses and the cheaper ones. &nbsp;I'm happy with both but quality ones are worth it if you wear them everyday. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-glasses-installment-2#post-1255297 Mon, 19 May 2014 02:27:54 +0000 Susie 1255297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Deb- I like 1 best and also like 4 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-glasses-installment-2#post-1255292 Mon, 19 May 2014 02:23:29 +0000 deb 1255292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote for #1. I am a big glasses person. I also like #4 if the size of #1 is too much for you. But #1 really looks good on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-glasses-installment-2#post-1255285 Mon, 19 May 2014 02:16:39 +0000 Sveta 1255285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have already asked for your <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dont-want-to-believe-it-but-i-need-help-with-glasses">help with glasses</a> before and I was going to look for other options. My car troubles took over so I was not able to resume the specs search until today.</p> <p>Here is a new installment - please tell me if any of those are good options. Unfortunately the colors did not photograph well but I tried to stay away from solid black and went for other dark colors instead.</p> <p>pic 1: Dark teal / clear &nbsp;These ones are big but I kind of like them anyway</p> <p>pic 2: Oakley with turquoise inside and details - the front seems almost black though</p> <p>pic 3:&nbsp;the same style as in #2 but&nbsp;&nbsp;dark&nbsp;purple</p> <p>pic 4: Versace &nbsp;- medium&nbsp;purple&nbsp;</p> <p>pic 5: Vogue &nbsp;- very&nbsp;dark purple. This one has a pearl embelishment at the temple but I think I can live with this kind.</p> <p>Any of those get your vote or should I keep looking?<br />Thank you so much for your help! </p>
