LaFont works well for me too because I have a narrow bridge. I'm not familiar with OGI but will check out the brand. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spec-shopping-1#post-1320757 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 12:57:47 +0000 Janet 1320757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Missvee, it's funny, all of my contenders in eyeglass frames (not sunglasses) are by OGI. Lafont had some that work well for me too. </p> <p>I have trouble with any styles that do not have nosepads -- if they don't, they sit too low on my nose and/or too close to my face and rest on my cheeks. OGI seem well-designed for that fit challenge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spec-shopping-1#post-1320745 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 12:38:48 +0000 missvee 1320745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they all have possibilities. They're interesting without being too "in your face". Sorry, bad pun. Would you mind sharing the brand ? I need new specs soon and have just started looking too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spec-shopping-1#post-1320725 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 12:05:48 +0000 Inge 1320725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first pair is fantastic, Janet. But the other two are beautiful as well. Can't wait to see them on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spec-shopping-1#post-1320483 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 02:16:12 +0000 Jaime 1320483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I especially love the first one, but need to see them on your beautiful face to know! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spec-shopping-1#post-1320482 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 02:15:34 +0000 deb 1320482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the shape of 2 and 3 but it is so hard not seeing them on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spec-shopping-1#post-1320477 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 02:12:02 +0000 carter 1320477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the first two best.

They told me my last appointment there was in 2010, so I am indeed overdue for some eyeglass shopping! (I'm not quite as excited about getting my eyes examined, but it's kinda important, so I'll muddle through somehow -- one of my least favorite things to do, with my weirdly sensitive eyes)</p> <p>I got started looking at some frames today, and there are a few they're setting aside for me to consider at my appointment on Monday. I'm pretty sure I'm going to keep my old Oliver Peoples aviator frames for my sunglasses and get new prescription lenses. I looked at some other aviator-ish sunglasses as well, and I may go for a second pair of sunglasses because I'm pretty hard on my sunglasses. I'm amazed these have gotten through the years as well as they have. </p> <p>Here are pics of two of my favorites from today. They're a definite departure for me, but I want something a bit different from what I've done before. It's tricky though, because a lot of styles simply look wrong or awkward on me. Most glasses are too big, or they're too closed-in looking on my small face and large eyes. </p> <p>I'm also excited about the idea of a shade of blue/green for glasses (I haven't had blue or green glasses since I was in my early 20s), and I love tortoiseshell too. </p> <p>The first photo are my favorites so far. I don't think the photo does them justice -- it's a lovely tortoiseshell on top, with hints of a slightly teal-ish blue, and thin solid blue on the bottom. They follow my browline nicely and are a little larger than what I've been wearing, but somehow manage not to overpower my face. The dark tortoiseshell echoes tones in my hair, and the green-blue goes with my eyes. </p> <p>The second two photos are two different colors/patterns of the same frames. Definitely a bit funkier and artier, and more cat-eye than I thought I would ever like on me, but the effect is actually pretty subtle until you're up close. I like the idea of the burgundy -- they didn't have these two colors in stock, so we have to order them to try them on me (I tried them in a purplish color). </p> <p>I'll post more on Monday! </p>
