I like the smaller frames

Jenni, I agree the ones in your "faves" pics work much better. You can manage a colour (vs. clear) but it will have to be the *right* colour and the right size. Your lovely energy shines forth with the right shape/ size of frames! Don't mask it.

Jenni, have you looked at the made in Australia brand Dresden?
They are optometry ‘disruptors’ with an ethical commitment.
They offer a classic ‘wayfarer’ shape in sizes XS, S, M and L. You can change the arms (available in 4 lengths) and click out the lenses to create a multitude of looks.
I believe they are in Auckland (Toronto too!)

Forgot to add - I have a small face, so my glasses frames are XS with a small length arm.

Thanks Lozz Oz- nice to see you! I will look into those as well, tomorrow.

I like all the ones that have been your favorites much better. Clear plastic, for all or part of the frame, has caught my eye recently. Thinking of Kari’s most recent frames, in particular, and a friend of mine who recently got some that are a mix of clear and a slightly metallized gray plastic.

I agree you should keep looking. The ones you’ve shown I think are too big and dark and I feel overwhelm your face. I wear glasses and I dread when I need to shop for new ones. It can be a long process to find the perfect frames BUT it’s the first thing people see AND you wear them for several years.

I'm late to this, but I agree with the advice to keep looking, and I also like your old favorites better than these darker, heavier frames.

I also have a small face/head, to the point where I can also wear child-size frames, and I am very quickly overwhelmed by frames, even though my coloring is high-contrast. On me, the problem really seems to be too much going on with these bolder frames, given my dedication to wearing earrings and other jewelry, plus colored streaks in my hair. I know you like your earrings and jewelry too, so consider how frames play with your overall look.

It took me a while to find my new wire-framed glasses, but I'm thrilled with them. They are subtle yet distinctive. I was ready for a change from plastic frames and these really fit the bill nicely -- they let my features and my other accessories take center stage. Take your time and try on a variety and be picky! You'll find the right ones.

Jenni, you look best with softer frames to my eye. Nothing dark or too wide. Try a LIGHT tortoiseshell, perspex, pink or blue. Your faves from years ago are my faves too.

I love your cheeky yet sweet little grin

The softer frames from previous years seem to be much more flattering to the scale of your facial features. When I look at you with the heavier/wider/darker frames that is what I first notice, not your beautiful eyes. https://www.whatlizzyloves.com.....rames.html
