Please help me pick prescription sunglasses before 5pm

Today is my last day to use up my FSA so I ran around trying prescription sunglasse this morning. Please excuse the weird expression and chipmunk cheeks (had the wisdom teeth removed as well).

1) black, inside edges and side detail are blue
2) tortoiseshell, inside edges are pink
3) black, no special detail <- RULED OUT
4) tortoiseshell, also comes in black <-RULED OUT
5) tortoiseshell frame, side edges and inside edges are beige <- THE CHOSEN PAIR
6) black frame, no special detail <-RULED OUT
7) black frame, gold bow detail on side
8) purple frames, pink edges <-RULED OUT

Thanks in advance for your opinions! I have additional photos of the ones I'm leaning towards, but don't want to bias you.

For sunglasses I think I am liking #1 and #7

I loved 7 on you!

I really like 1, Sylvie. You're lucky, you wear sunglasses well!

I like #7 the best. They look like they fit your face well and they are big enough to be effective at blocking out the sun.

LOVE #5 on you. I vote that one the best hands down. The tortoiseshell adds some dimension that the solid black ones don't. All of the solid black ones just seem meh.
Runners up are 1,2,4 and 7.
absolute no on 3,6, and 8
haha- I hope I didn't just bag on your favorites

I like #5, perhaps because they follow right along with your eyebrow shape.

Definitely 5 with 7 as runner up.

#5

Thanks all for the speedy responses. The candidates have been cut down to 1,2,5 and 7. Looks like the consensus is 7>5>1>2.

#7 is significantly more expensive than the others, mostly due to branding (Tiffany), so I have to love it in order to justify it.

#5 is in the middle pricewise, and easier to justify.

I was originally leaning towards #1 and #2 because they had interesting inside colors. I've attached the side views of #1 and #2.

Thanks again! I'm going to continue to agonize for the next few hours. I suppose it would annoy the optician if I went back to take better photos of #5 and #7 but didn't end up buying them.

Ordered #5! It had the most interesting combination of features (side view, etc) for the price. Thanks to all for taking time to help me out!

yay! FWIW, I got curious about the eyebrow thing and looked it up. Turns out, that's a great way to find flattering glasses. I never would have thought about that consciously before. Now I'm checking out my own lol! Enjoy your new glasses!

Great choice, Sylvie! It was one of my top picks, too!

#5 was my choice too and they look beautiful on you.
