UWP specs - any ideas?

catgirl

I have some pretty funky frames already but AJ suggested finding UWP glasses to wear with my more conservative outfits... I loved the idea, but I have NO idea what to look for! Any thoughts? My birthday is coming up so I have room to ask for a gift from DH!

hmmm... i am really liking the idea of an occasional fashion alter ego i really dig these UWP elements you are always posting!

i am not sure on specs part of me is seeing something square and bookish and part of me is going more aviator style. but i havent ever worn glasses so i am feeling totally unqualified to say...

I did a preliminary search and came up empty handed. Fruitful's links look interesting.

Fruitful, those are amazing. We have one funky frames store here - I may go look tomorrow since I have the day off due to school in-service.

Sarah A, you are funny!

AJ, this was YOUR idea. I blame you for a burgeoning obsession...

I don't know much about glasses, but these look pretty cool. I like the wood and horn collection and many of the cat eye styles, too.

OMG, how did you find that site, Rae? The music is steampunky! This pair!

The cat-eyes are always the most flattering on my round face... I am intrigued as I've never bought spec frames online.

Um, wow. Those Theo glasses are amazing! Now I really, really want a pair of frames made from WOOD! That sounds soooo much more comfortable than plastic.

Amazing website Rae. I love the music too, and I love the pair you picked Una. But like Mander I reaaally love the wood frames (been wanting wood or woodgrain frames for a while - such an organic, different look)

Those orange cat eyes are hot!

It looks like there are a couple pairs of sunglasses floating around, too.
