I think I'd prefer something that hit just below your brow so your computer can see the whole of your pretty eyes </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/time-to-change-my-specs#post-640554 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 23:16:13 +0000 Suz 640554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are still well worth keeping, Christy. But I love the idea of looking for something new as well. It will be fun to change things up. And if you wear them all day at the computer, it's a reasonable investment, I'd say! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/time-to-change-my-specs#post-640541 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 22:43:50 +0000 Kari 640541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a big fan of having variety in glasses frames! If you have two great pairs, all the more fun. </p> <p>Rainy is an understatement today. I had to pull over coming back from lunch because it was too heavy to see while driving! Wow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/time-to-change-my-specs#post-640520 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 21:45:20 +0000 christy 640520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone for the feedback! And yes, Jonesy, I absolutely want opinions - thanks for your thoughts!</p> <p>So, it seems that these meet with approval for the most part and don't seem terribly dated, so that's good. My eye exam isn't for a couple of months but I think I'll start looking for another pair of frames so I can have some variety. I've had these for a couple of years now so it might be nice to have a different style to change things up a bit! I'll start by looking at some more rounded styles like Jonesy suggests - good to have something specific to look for as I get somewhat paralyzed when selecting glasses of any sort. It takes me AGES to settle on a pair of sunglasses!</p> <p>Kari, they aren't transition lenses - just bad lighting at 6 am on a rainy Seattle day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/time-to-change-my-specs#post-640503 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 21:06:15 +0000 Inge 640503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am really clueless when it comes to the right styles of glasses, but I think these look wonderful on you, Christy. Of course, if you feel like mixing it up, another pair is not a bad idea at all;-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/time-to-change-my-specs#post-640485 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 20:33:54 +0000 HelenInCanada 640485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These glasses suit you beautifully, Christyg. Perhaps you want an alternative pair just to switch it up sometimes? These are chic and flattering, so I wouldn't worry! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/time-to-change-my-specs#post-640357 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 17:43:57 +0000 catgirl 640357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these look great! If your glasses are a strong accessory in your repetoire, you could consider a second pair (I have 5 frames because glasses are my main accessory as well as necessary to see!). But these look flattering and current to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/time-to-change-my-specs#post-640353 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 17:36:43 +0000 Sylvie 640353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these look fantastic on you already, so would only suggest updating if you feel like you want a change. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/time-to-change-my-specs#post-640329 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 16:59:42 +0000 Kari 640329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Christy, to me these frames still look very current and flattering. I don't think you need to have "geek glasses" that are trendy right now to have current frames. I like the shape and especially how the top curve really follows your brow line well. You could go a tad narrower in your next frame-these extend a bit beyond the width of your face-but I certainly don't think these scream out for an update. I like them!</p> <p>Are these transition lenses? In the last pic the lens looks a little dark. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/time-to-change-my-specs#post-640327 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 16:55:23 +0000 christieanne 640327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like those on you but I am not too current on glasses fashion. I couldn't decide when I needed new rx for mine (and I rarely wear them) so just replaced lens in my frames which are similar to yours but a tortoiseshell.<br /> How long has it been since you choose these and are you due for a eye checkup? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/time-to-change-my-specs#post-640316 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 16:39:31 +0000 Jonesy 640316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would say yes, if you are inviting opinions :). I feel like glasses that are rounder and wider (height-wise) are more current, but this is subjective of course! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/time-to-change-my-specs#post-640259 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 15:40:58 +0000 ManidipaM 640259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually love these on you! No clue about datedness of spec styles though, sorry. Just that they're very flattering! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/time-to-change-my-specs#post-640248 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 15:23:54 +0000 texstyle 640248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nothing wrong with these per se but for reading glasses I guess I'd try to go for a very light frame or frameless design if possible. But I prefer mine to sort of "disappear" as I've always had a hard time choosing a style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/time-to-change-my-specs#post-640230 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 15:01:11 +0000 Anonymous 640230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Christy, you are even prettier close-up, so don't worry about it! These look modern enough to me, but I'll let the others comment on fit and flattery, which I am clueless about. I think Angie might be traveling today, or getting ready to leave, so you might need to re-post this in an Ask Angie later. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/time-to-change-my-specs#post-640209 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 14:42:28 +0000 christy 640209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You never see me with my glasses on because I only wear them for reading and when I'm in front of a computer - which is all day at work. I'm a little late to the realization that I should probably consider them part of my work wardrobe accessories. These are the frames I have now. They are a coppery color. Tried to get a couple of angles including a not-so-flattering face forward shot! What do you think of the style? Time for an upgrade or are these okay? </p>
