Thanks so much for the feedback. I think I'll give my brows a small tweeze before I go out next time, lol!</p> <p>Ceit--I have tri-focals (or progressives.) I loved the glasses I have currently--they are the smallest i have ever worn and I will miss them...but the problem with small is that I have to tilt my head too far back to read (so I can see out the bottom.) So, thus, the need to go larger. You make a good point about the highest index, though going that route with the Tiffany's would have put them at about a thousand dollars.&nbsp;</p> <p>lyn* nose and cheeks! I totally forgot to notice. I will next time.</p> <p>Museumgal--a vote for red. Thanks. Looking at these now, I like the shape of these better, too.</p> <p>Missvee--another vote for red!</p> <p>Karie--yes,&nbsp;the blue ones are a bit too big. I get that, totally.</p> <p>Marley--I prefer the blue colour too--and the overall shape, but you are right, my brows look far to bushy like this (though, I know, that's not what you said. That's how it looks to me, now.)</p> <p>Ok. When I have more frames, I will update this post. Thanks everyone. I am curious to see if I can find a purple pair.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spectacle-window-shopping-come-in-and-critique#post-1309481 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 02:11:58 +0000 Anonymous 1309481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am -9.75 and -10.25 --- I try for the smallest size lens and highest index possible. So far I am in single vision, but if I need to get progressives I am going to have to look at a larger frame.</p> <p>I like these ones better than the other pair, but I am not sure either is perfect. I like the colour of the red ones, but the lens shape of the top of the first pair a titch better, but I agree with Marley that it would look better following the brow and not covering it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spectacle-window-shopping-come-in-and-critique#post-1309414 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 01:18:32 +0000 Marley 1309414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that the blue color is a better color with your hair and skin-tone - very flattering on you! &nbsp;I don't really know much about how glasses should fit - but, in my&nbsp;<i>in</i>expert opinion, I think that the shape of the blue ones are more flattering than the red ones - but the red frames hit you at a better place above your eyes. &nbsp;The blue ones are covering up your eyebrows (which I, personally don't like) - the red ones allow your eyebrows to still be seen - so . . . . there ya' go - I really have no idea! &nbsp;Sorry! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spectacle-window-shopping-come-in-and-critique#post-1309401 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 01:05:01 +0000 Karie 1309401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a strong prescription - mine is -7.5 and -5.5, and I can barely see my hand in front of my face w/o glasses or contacts. I do like the red frames better as I think the larger blue ones are a tad too big. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spectacle-window-shopping-come-in-and-critique#post-1309384 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 00:47:28 +0000 missvee 1309384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the red ones a lot. The colour and shape are great, and the size is big enough to have some "presence" but not so large that they overwhelm your face. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spectacle-window-shopping-come-in-and-critique#post-1309326 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 23:35:08 +0000 MuseumGal 1309326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the red ones are fab on you.&nbsp; The other pair, I think they're too large b/c you can see all of your eyebrows through the lenses, while the red ones sit so that your eyebrows are more even and slightly above the the frames. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spectacle-window-shopping-come-in-and-critique#post-1309223 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 21:30:32 +0000 lyn* 1309223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know finding glasses is a hassle (because I'm struggling myself right now); I think I like the colour of #2, but the angle of the frames in #1 - I'm no help. Haha.</p> <p>Also; do they sit comfy on your nose or on your cheeks? I struggle with this a lot - and if they bounce on my cheeks, then I either get zits or my glasses slide off by the end of the day.</p> <p>Also; -9!!!! I'm a -6 and a -7 and people make "HAHA blind" jokes at me all the time :p </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spectacle-window-shopping-come-in-and-critique#post-1309214 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 21:21:03 +0000 Alana in Canada 1309214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So exciting!<br />I returned the black Tiffany's. I was terribly nervous, as I'd mislaid the receipt, but they were very kind and there was no problem.&nbsp;</p> <p>So, I tried out Angie's suggestions for coloured frames: she recommended&nbsp;purple, deep red and blue <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-glasses-in-shock-should-i-return-them">in this thread.</a> (You can also my current glasses and the ones I have now returned in that post.)</p> <p>Here are contenders from Lenscrafter's. I tried on quite a number of pairs and with the sales girl's help narrowed it down to these two.&nbsp;I realise I should have included a side or 3/4 view, but I didn't think of it in the shop. The salesgirl who helped me kindly took the pictures.&nbsp;But, rest assured,&nbsp;as per Angie's suggestion, the temples are not thin.</p> <p>1. These are blue, from Coach<br />2. These are red, from Vogue. They have a beige inner frame which will help with the white edge that will be inevitably created by the thickness of my lenses. </p> <p>(My prescription is about -9 for those who know about these things, so my eyes look small and the larger the frames, the thicker the lens at the edges.)</p> <p>What do you think? Have I found my pair already or do I need to keep looking?&nbsp; </p>
