Ask Angie + others: more specs...

Here are some other options. Thanks for the link, Angie! Very helpful.

I think all these frames have my eyes centered, but I apparently haven't adjusted them enough. Some SAs say that the more rounded frames look better, others opt for more square. I have no idea why. They all say it fit my face better.

All in all, I like lenses far better and I only use the glasses indoor at evening. Never outside and never for more than a couple of hours. Of course I can change my routine, but I've tried many times over the years and always end up getting frustrated at the glasses. Even sunglasses.

The frames should give the eyes a lift. I'm not sure any of these do.

#1 prodesign Denmark Very nice colour. I can get them with nose pads. I tried to lift the frames up a bit to show how it would look with nose pads.

#2 Lindberg I like the colour and the fit is good. Very lightweigt, but maybe not so modern?

#3 Gucci Nice colour. Nose pads will be put on.

#4 Marc Jacobs Fun temples. Need nose pads.

#5 Silhouette Well, this is a very different shape. Reminds me of frames I had in 90's(?).

#6 Fendi Angie's pick (but not top score) from last specs post. http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....specs-help

I like 1 a lot.

Elly

I like #2 the best.

I like 1 and 2. Your eyes seem more centered in 2 but I like the lift at the top of the frame of 1. I don't think you could go wrong with either. Maybe a slight preference for 2.

I like the shape of #1 best, but wish it had the temples of #4.

Thank you so much, Laura, Elly, Kellygirl and Angie! I see that #1 is getting most votes and I'll keep them in mind.

I may find the time to go to two stores more, but then my search stops. I think I've scanned my town for specs by then. Besides, it takes too much time. I don't want to order online, it's way too difficult to find well fitting frames by just looking at a pic. *sigh*

I like the Silhouettes, Gucci's, and then Prodesigns (which seem to have taken the early lead).

You can see how pretty you are with the Silhouettes, which is why I like them best. The others, strong design is in the lead.

elpgal

Having a hard time deciding between 1 and 2. You wear both very well.

Makrame

To me, the Prodesign frames have the most modern and stylish look on you.

Beth Ann

Another vote for #1 -- Pro Design!

Firecracker (Sharan)

I like the Prodesign and Gucci best on you. I like the shape of the Prodesign, and I think both of these pairs have a good thickness for balancing with your facial features. I agree with Angie about the wider temple on the Marc Jacobs frame--I like that look on you.

Suz

#1 for sure, although I also like aspects of the Marc Jacobs.

Thank you for your votes, rachylou, elpgal, Makrame, Beth Ann, Firecracker and Suz!

This helps tremendously! The prodesign temples are not the top option, but I'll have to live with that. I don't have the time (or energy) for a long search. *sigh* And I won't be wearing the glasses 24/7 anyway. I'll keep the prodesign glasses if I can't find any better options. I'll have a last round tomorrow and will post, so please bear with me.
