I really appreciate it.&nbsp;</p> <p>Ugh. </p> <p>Blue:<br />pro. I love the deep dark blue colour. I love how they look almost black, but they are actually blue: the unexpectedness of it is a big plus.<br />I like the weight of the blue.&nbsp;<br />con:&nbsp;I don't like the degree of variegation with the stripe. In&nbsp;fact, my first instinct when I saw them was to ask whether they would all look this way or whether it was possible to get a pair a little more toned down.&nbsp;</p> <p>Red.:<br />pro: it is sophisticated.&nbsp;<br />I love the colour inside the glasses. That bit of surprise makes me happy. <br />I'll take your word for it that it enhances my eye colour.&nbsp;</p> <p>con:&nbsp;I flush easily and that worries me.&nbsp;<br />it's a lot of <i>actual</i> colour. (Though, for me, red is a neutral so I am not worried it will restrict my wardrobe choices in any way--except, won't it be ALGO with an orange apron? I've taken to wearing orange dangly earrings, too, to coordinate. That may definitely be <i>too much</i> going on!)<br />They make me nervous. (But hey, a little bit of uncomfortableness can be a sign of a good thing. I don't want to play it too safe!)</p> <p></p> <p>I will make my decision by noon my time. (mountain). I told the store I would call and order them today as they will take 2-3 weeks to come in.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spectacular-spectacles-final-round/page/2#post-1319019 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 16:08:36 +0000 Angie 1319019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still prefer the red - #3, actually.&nbsp;I think the blue is a dash maximal and competes with your gorgeous eyes. That said, I love the blue too. And you can't go wrong with either pair. Do you have a preference, Alana?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spectacular-spectacles-final-round/page/2#post-1318996 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 15:49:46 +0000 Alana in Canada 1318996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Karymk--thank you!<br />Astrid--yes, definitely, I want to coordinate these with my own colouring. I plan on having them five years or more.<br />Aldlfa--hee, hee, yes, I know exactly what you mean!<br />Unfrumped--yes, I understand the concept. That's a thought.<br />goldenpig--my life is pretty casual! But ill it stay that way for five years?<br />Inge, thank you for your lovely words. </p> <p>It seems pretty clear that since I posted the burgandy ones for comparison, they have out led the way: the question is now, will Angie agree? or buck the trend?&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spectacular-spectacles-final-round/page/2#post-1318709 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 08:43:16 +0000 Inge 1318709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both pairs, Alana, but the burgundy with turquoise accents brings out your blue eyes so beautifully, so I'm voting for those. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spectacular-spectacles-final-round/page/2#post-1318708 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 08:39:32 +0000 goldenpig 1318708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#3 looks the best. Polished and sophisticated. I like #1, but it may not be as versatile--it looks more casual with the color and mottling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spectacular-spectacles-final-round/page/2#post-1318690 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 07:22:29 +0000 unfrumped 1318690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The solids are much better than the mottled.<br /> The not all blue is actually better for blue eyes because of contrast. The blue frame competes. Similar to eye makeup color concepts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spectacular-spectacles-final-round/page/2#post-1318678 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 06:23:00 +0000 Adelfa 1318678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want to like 1 the best. But I think that 3 clearly looks better. They sort of balance out your skin, hair, and eyes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spectacular-spectacles-final-round#post-1318677 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 06:22:43 +0000 Astrid 1318677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both the blue and the burgundy, maybe the blue a tad more! I think you can go both ways. I personally don't coordinate the color of the frames with my outfit because I only have the one pair, so I would ignore wardrobe colors. I think you should look at which color you like better with your skin, eyes and hair to make a decision. If that works then it looks good no matter what colors you're wearing otherwise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spectacular-spectacles-final-round#post-1318571 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 03:36:23 +0000 karymk 1318571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Number three! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spectacular-spectacles-final-round#post-1318555 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 03:28:16 +0000 Alana in Canada 1318555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gigi--my planned wardrobe colours are grey, black, white, reds and blues.&nbsp;</p> <p>Suz, yes, I do have a bit of "extra" rosiness in my face at the moment. Here's a picture from January of this year for comparison. (And wow, am I glad I grew out my hair, lol!) As you can see,though, I always have a bit of natural "blush" (This is totally makeupless, cropped from a&nbsp;weight loss "before" photo.)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spectacular-spectacles-final-round#post-1318540 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 03:17:47 +0000 Suz 1318540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alana, it looks as if you have a bit of a sunburn in #3, is that right? If so, your naturally rosy colouring isn't quite that rosy most of the time, right?&nbsp;</p> <p>Not that I am batting for door #3 or anything, LOL.&nbsp;</p> <p>I will say that the blue variegations look cool with the top you are wearing today.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spectacular-spectacles-final-round#post-1318535 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 03:13:09 +0000 Gigi 1318535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh, this is hard. I do feel like #1 is a bit too busy. And I'm not sure whether #3 is a bit too warm.</p> <p>Question for you: Does your wardrobe (or if you haven't got a very large one yet, your planned wardrobe) consist of warm colors, cool colors, or in-between colors? If you are going to be steering toward cool colors or more neutral colors (i.e., colors that aren't really warm or cool), then I think #3 will be too warm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spectacular-spectacles-final-round#post-1318444 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 01:51:08 +0000 Alana in Canada 1318444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, San. I love them, too.&nbsp;</p> <p>suz, thanks for the clarification. I like to think I am a minimalist--but I don't know how much of that is really real or just a really hard wish. Time will tell.</p> <p>deb, yes, I wondered a bit about the stripe running through them and whether that was distracting.</p> <p>Joy, Faith, Nicole--and Susie--all of you batting for team burgandy--you don't think they might make my naturally rosy face too red? I do like the idea of "sophisticated" though do I love the blue.</p> <p>Angie? Help.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spectacular-spectacles-final-round#post-1318416 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 01:26:27 +0000 Faith 1318416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the complementary colors in the burgundy/turquoise pair (no. 3) actually bring out your eyes even more than the blue ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spectacular-spectacles-final-round#post-1318411 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 01:23:14 +0000 Suz 1318411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's the solid colour with the inner lining that makes them more sophisticated feeling. My Bevels are both like this -- I have a black pair with white insides, and a burgundy titanium pair with fuchsia inside.&nbsp;</p> <p>Keep in mind that Susie and I both prefer really clean lines and our style is on the minimalist side. That influences our judgement here.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spectacular-spectacles-final-round#post-1318408 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 01:20:58 +0000 Nicole D 1318408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><u></u>I completely agree with Susie! &nbsp;The burgundy with blue are sophisticated with a bit of funkiness. &nbsp;Definite winner.<u><br /></u> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spectacular-spectacles-final-round#post-1318403 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 01:19:13 +0000 Susie 1318403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first reaction was blue. But after flipping back and forth a few times, I think I prefer the red. I like the contrast to your eyes and they might look a bit more sophisticated. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spectacular-spectacles-final-round#post-1318395 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 01:15:08 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1318395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Holy crap Alana - this is a tough one! I think I prefer #3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spectacular-spectacles-final-round#post-1318392 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 01:14:39 +0000 san 1318392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh this is hard but I love #1.&nbsp; They make me think wowza great frames on your face.&nbsp; I often have to tell people in the store or where ever, great glasses on you.&nbsp; Not that I'm an expert by any means.&nbsp; We'll leave that to Angie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spectacular-spectacles-final-round#post-1318388 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 01:12:49 +0000 Anonymous 1318388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #3 best, #1 second.&nbsp; The shape is fab on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spectacular-spectacles-final-round#post-1318387 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 01:12:40 +0000 missvee 1318387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I prefer 3. The colours are subtle but interesting and really bring out your eyes. I do like the blue of 1 but not sure about the mottled effect.<br /> I hope Angie weighs in again... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spectacular-spectacles-final-round#post-1318382 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 01:09:51 +0000 DonnaF 1318382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The BLUE!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spectacular-spectacles-final-round#post-1318381 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 01:09:21 +0000 deb 1318381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still vote for #3. Like Suz says, the blue read 'busy' to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spectacular-spectacles-final-round#post-1318371 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 01:04:53 +0000 Alana in Canada 1318371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If only I could, Suz, but I don't think they'll let me play dress up with them, more's the pity.<br />Yep, wardrobe is neutral now, but my "colours," assuming I can find them, will be blue and red--and like you, not one shade, but the whole gamut from pale to dark . So, that's no help. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spectacular-spectacles-final-round#post-1318360 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 00:58:13 +0000 Suz 1318360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my goodness, this is tough!! I really like the blue and the burgundy.&nbsp;</p> <p>I almost want to say -- put them on with a few outfits and show us full length shots.&nbsp;</p> <p>The variegation in the blue might read as busy. Then again, it might provide just the right modulation. Meanwhile, the burgundy might give a little pop and sizzle -- or then again, it might clash with some of your clothing (although I don't think so, since your wardrobe is so far pretty neutral.)&nbsp;</p> <p>The truth is, I don't think you can go wrong with either one of these, really. The blue are amazing with your eyes and work with your cool toned but rosy skin. The burgundy are a bit more unexpected.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spectacular-spectacles-final-round#post-1318339 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 00:48:26 +0000 Alana in Canada 1318339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Lisa! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spectacular-spectacles-final-round#post-1318323 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 00:36:00 +0000 Anonymous 1318323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First blue pair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spectacular-spectacles-final-round#post-1318322 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 00:35:11 +0000 Alana in Canada 1318322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Deb, those are the ones I should have posted.
