They are truly stunning. I love the color and the shape. Your smile lights up your face so much that when it's missing, it makes the frames look worse in comparison to the old pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-specs#post-1725245 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 07:18:09 +0000 rachylou 1725245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, well I loved the teal (!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-specs#post-1725238 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 05:30:44 +0000 Cerinda 1725238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ordering the CRs sounds smart. &nbsp;Next time, you might want to look at Alain Mikli: the brand usually has a number of versions of cat's eye frames.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-specs#post-1725235 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 05:14:54 +0000 Aziraphale 1725235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not wild about the shape of the teal ones, although the colour is fun. I vote to order the CR ones and cross your fingers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-specs#post-1725120 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 22:28:16 +0000 Karie 1725120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the teal pair! Do the CR's come in teal? The ones you ordered look good too, and I'm sure they will be great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-specs#post-1724999 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 16:54:29 +0000 Anonymous 1724999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good luck! I was one who really liked you in the teal! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-specs#post-1724988 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 16:29:18 +0000 Diana 1724988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone.&nbsp; Looks like the verdict is mixed on the teal pair, and I think I am going to skip them for now.&nbsp; Although I do like them, they are very expensive, enough so that I could only justify it if they were my main pair and perfect.&nbsp;&nbsp; And they are not perfect - I am not crazy about either the downturn at the edge of the top or the lighter mint color at the top.&nbsp; And frankly I think they might be a little TOO bold for everyday - don't<br /> get me wrong, I like bold but sometimes I want something a little more<br /> subdued. </p> <p>I have decided to order the Cynthia Rowley pair (#3), even though I won't be able to try in person first.&nbsp; They are similar enough to my old ones that I think it's worth the risk, plus they are far less expensive than the teal (1/3 the price) so even if I find something better later, I will be happy having them as a backup pair.&nbsp; I really do need some non-scratched glasses ASAP.&nbsp; </p> <p>Clara and Pil, thanks for the brand recommendations.&nbsp; I will have to see if I can find somewhere that carries them.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-specs#post-1724785 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 02:41:03 +0000 Banoffi 1724785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 and #3 on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-specs#post-1724783 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 02:40:09 +0000 Diana 1724783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ann, I probably will do just that but I don't think it will be my main pair. The reason being that they're not the highest quality frames and have been worn a lot so I worry they will break the way the first pair did (which is not fixable). I actually think they have a design flaw that makes them prone to breakage. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-specs#post-1724777 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 02:29:40 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1724777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana, have you thought of replacing the lenses in your backup pair if you really still like the frames? I've done this with my current frames because I still quite like them and also the price of both frames and lenses when I know my prescription is about to change. Just a thought. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-specs#post-1724771 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 02:09:30 +0000 Jenn 1724771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use Zenni for back-up glasses, but I wouldn't want them for my main pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-specs#post-1724752 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 01:16:00 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1724752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the teal color on you, and also it looks like your eye is more centered in the frames that your older glasses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-specs#post-1724723 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 00:25:04 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1724723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love the teal ones on you.

My gorgeous frames from Seattle were a total find. Keep looking! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-specs#post-1724706 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 00:03:38 +0000 ClaraT 1724706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have these (below) from La Font and I love them ("Novice"). Mine are less blue than the pic: brown on top and blue on the bottom which seems like it might suit you (I think the second pic). They are not wacky. La Font makes some other gorgeous cat-eye styles too:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.lafont.com/the-collection/WOMAN/ALL/ALL/">https://www.lafont.com/the-col.....N/ALL/ALL/</a>&nbsp;(go to the link and choose WOMAN and cat eye shape).<br />I got them at Rims and Goggles in Marin (I think there is one in SF). (You may not love the ones I have but there are lots of nice styles.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-specs#post-1724702 Wed, 07 Sep 2016 23:58:26 +0000 JAileen 1724702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well they are pretty cheap. My husband got new glasses recently and the frames were several hundred dollars before lenses. I think all in they were around $800 with a bifocal, coatings, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-specs#post-1724698 Wed, 07 Sep 2016 23:55:11 +0000 Diana 1724698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm very, very leery of zenni. I've heard a lot of bad things about them and their quality or lack thereof...</p> <p>Also a lot of things are defined as "cat eye" when they just have a slanted top line. Technically all of these styles I'm showing here are cat eyes... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-specs#post-1724697 Wed, 07 Sep 2016 23:54:46 +0000 Marilyn 1724697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like those last ones, Diana.&nbsp; I actually think they have a bit more presence than your current ones.....more weight at the top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-specs#post-1724694 Wed, 07 Sep 2016 23:50:33 +0000 JAileen 1724694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I googled cateye glasses and Zenni came up. I've never heard of them, but they have 133 cateye frames. Some look promising. It's also fun putting them on the model's face.</p> <p><a href="http://www.zennioptical.com/glasses/women/Frame-Shape-Cat-Eye/_/N-2133214761?view=all" rel="nofollow">http://www.zennioptical.com/gl.....1?view=all</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-specs#post-1724689 Wed, 07 Sep 2016 23:44:53 +0000 Diana 1724689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This was the best one from warby Parker but I think it's too square/droopy on the bottom. True cat eyes are hard to find! Add that to a wide width and I'm looking for unicorns. I'm seriously considering just biting the bullet and ordering #3, non refundable lens costs and all.</p> <p>ETA: thanks, Marilyn. I think you're spot on about the face shape and I totally agree with you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-specs#post-1724688 Wed, 07 Sep 2016 23:39:20 +0000 Marilyn 1724688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 3 and your current 4 as well.&nbsp; You have a heart shaped face like me and I've been told that cateye glasses are a good match.&nbsp; They are wide up top where your face is wider and narrow at the bottom.&nbsp; They follow the proportions of a heart shaped face. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-specs#post-1724683 Wed, 07 Sep 2016 23:26:35 +0000 catgirl 1724683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's the down turned corners. I have a total weakness for a good cateye, so I'd stay focused on that since it suits you so well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-specs#post-1724682 Wed, 07 Sep 2016 23:25:00 +0000 Diana 1724682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jaileen, I tried those at WP and they didn't work at all (nothing at WP did). My issue is a weird combo of needing a wide size with a fairly sharp angle on the bottom. Anything with a round or droopy or just plain too large bottom half looks super droopy on my face. </p> <p>Una and Tanya, I think you're onto something about the shape. Maybe they're too square, or not upturned enough? </p> <p>Angie, I do love the color... They have several teal frames at See right now but this was the only one that was even remotely ok looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-specs#post-1724676 Wed, 07 Sep 2016 23:16:54 +0000 Tanya 1724676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your old pair is stunning on you and say try to get something similar.&nbsp; I love teal color for you but the shape is OK, but not great to me. My current main specs are teal, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-specs#post-1724675 Wed, 07 Sep 2016 23:16:34 +0000 Angie 1724675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE #1. Th teal. Your colour.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-specs#post-1724672 Wed, 07 Sep 2016 23:14:16 +0000 JAileen 1724672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you know the fit measurements of your current pair? There's a pair on Warby Parker that looks similar. They have the measurements at the bottom.</p> <p><a href="https://www.warbyparker.com/eyeglasses/women/newton/aurelia-tortoise" rel="nofollow">https://www.warbyparker.com/ey.....a-tortoise</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-specs#post-1724670 Wed, 07 Sep 2016 23:13:16 +0000 catgirl 1724670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the CR pair! Of course I have a pair just like them. Color of the teal is great but I don't like the shape as much for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-specs#post-1724660 Wed, 07 Sep 2016 23:07:46 +0000 Diana 1724660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>PS- I would not be opposed to getting more than one pair. I probably actually should as I need a backup pair thats not super scratched up. (And I suspect this pair I'm wearing is not in the best shape to be relensed...) </p>
