I will look for shapes like the two better ones in this sample. I will also see if my optometrist is able to bring in # 5 in a colour or colours that might work for me, on speculation.</p> <p>Stay tuned!</p> <p>And, yes merwoman, that is my new jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/specs-shopping-part-1#post-990186 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 15:08:10 +0000 Angie 990186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#3 is best in terms of colour and the shape is good too. Gorgeous! </p> <p>#5 is a great shape, but the colour too harsh. </p> <p>#1 and #2 "droop" instead of lift and that's not what you want. I hope that makes sense :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/specs-shopping-part-1#post-990016 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 12:49:40 +0000 merwoman 990016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#3 caught my eye - good shape, follows your brow, seems to fit well, good colour.<br />I also like the shape of 5 on you and would be interested to see it in a softer colour.<br />Are you sporting your new leathers? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/specs-shopping-part-1#post-989947 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 10:14:07 +0000 Jaime 989947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First impression is #3 or #5 in a softer color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/specs-shopping-part-1#post-989935 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 09:43:51 +0000 Astrid 989935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #3 and #4 best. The first two seem to droop a bit and I think the solid black is way too harsh for your coloring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/specs-shopping-part-1#post-989721 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 01:02:13 +0000 deb 989721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p># 1 and # 5 are my favs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/specs-shopping-part-1#post-989593 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 23:22:57 +0000 Transcona Shannon 989593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooohhhh this is tough Carla - I like the shape of #5 but agree the black is too harsh for you. Does that frame come in tortoiseshell? That could be lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/specs-shopping-part-1#post-989576 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 23:05:23 +0000 lyn* 989576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I like #5 the most </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/specs-shopping-part-1#post-989550 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 22:35:15 +0000 Anonymous 989550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 3 on you. I like 4 except for the thickness at the bridge. 5 is a nice shape but the colour is harsh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/specs-shopping-part-1#post-989548 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 22:32:27 +0000 Anonymous 989548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm no expert but like the shape of the last pair on you. Next to last is my second choice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/specs-shopping-part-1#post-989546 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 22:29:10 +0000 Carla 989546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>An appointment with the optometrist is looming, as is the spectre of trifocals. I was able to squeeze a quick 30 minute recon and had the kind SA take some pics for me. </p> <p>Tried for all the Angie guidelines, but not sure if I got the 'lift' part right. #1 is a light mauve, and #2 purple and green. #3 and #4 are tortoiseshell, and #5 is too dark, but I tried it on for the shape (black was the only colour available at the time.)</p> <p>Try to forgive the peeling sunburn and frizzy hair. I am overdue for some TLC at the hairdressers. </p> <p>Are there any contenders in the mix? Am I on the right track, or off the rails? </p>
