Wow, thanks everyone! It just goes to show you that we carry certain perceptions about ourselves that should be challenged from time to time. I wore bold glasses when I first started to need them, back in the 80s, but it was the era of big glasses and big everything. LOL
I’ll keep these in mind and start a more thorough search.
Late to the party but my initial reaction before reading the comments was that statement frames are great on you but I would like to see them in you in a fun color! Also just for fun it would be great to see a pair of cat eyes on you. Maybe too bold for your first pair? But I think you could rock them!
Lynette, I had some cateye frames a few years ago but my husband doesn’t like them, and they’e a little too specific or retro for me, as someone from Baltimore where the cateye thing is a big part of a cliche/caricature look here.
Like the idea of a pair of statement glasses to compliment you and your wardrobe. You can carry the heavier looks; can also get impact with other characteristics of the glasses. You can use a bit of color that showcases your eyes, go titanium light with an interesting frame shape and I think your dilemma will become how to choose among all that works for you. I was reluctant to use my glasses as statements, yet let myself be pushed out of my comfort zone by a knowledgeable salesperson. It took a few tries to find my sweet spots. Good to take pics as you go, as well as time to consider the variables. Happy choosing.
As a glasses wearer I always follow the latest eye wear trends. You have to get new prescriptions often enough so there is no reason not to. Big and bold are in now. The ones you have chosen look great!! Tortoiseshell ones are my fave, I had a pair of Tom ford tortoiseshell ones before this pair (the kids broke my last like 2-3 frames ). Evolution of my frames over the last 10 years. My faves are picture 3 but the ones I have now are not too bad.

Thanks for the feedback, all! I got a chance to look at a couple more yesterday, very briefly, at See. Store was almost at closing time so I didn’t take much time. These are a bit less dramatic but still a little different for me. I may look again tomorrow at some places. And I will probably look when we are back home. No rush.
