Alright internet – honest opinion time. My optician is having a 1/2 off frames sale, so I’m toying with the idea of getting a new pair of glasses. This is round 1 of the possibilities. Who has two thumbs and loves cat’s eye frames? This girl.
Whatdaya think?
Bevel “Chianti” frames in Black/Magenta (the pink peeks through, depending on the angle)
Bevel I-Don’t-Know-the-Frame-Name in Humidity/Melody (the pale green peeks through, depending on the angle)
Prodesign “4th Dimension” in Slate Blue
Face a Face “Stela 2″ in Plum
I’m quite conflicted. It’s been a while since I’ve worn full-frame glasses and I keep alternating between really liking each pair and going “meh.”
So what say you all? I may not end up getting a pair, and I’ll probably go back and try on twenty more styles. We shall see.
P.S. Here’s a photo of Sarah and I from 2005. The cat’s eye love is still going strong.
I liked the last ones the least sitting alone, but they looked fantastic on you. You should buy those. The third ones were my least favorite.
I like the first pair the best.
I have a pair very similar to the first and alternate them regularly with two other old pair. But, I suspect that YOU like option Number 4 based on the look on your face.
Don’t go by my face – they’re all just variations on the “trying not to look like a goober in a close-up of my head” expression.
I think the first pair look best on you. The optometrist just let you bring them all home?!
Isn’t that crazy? They let us borrow them so we can try them on with different outfits, in different light, different hairstyles, etc. Next I’m going to try them all with a mohawk.
I like the first pair best, then the last pair. The two in the middle don’t work as well with your colouring, I don’t think. Maybe if they came in darker, more saturated versions of the ones you have here?
Plus with the first ones you can go around being all “I have PURE TITAN on my face!” which can go about eight different hilarious ways.
It’s funny with the second two – wearing those colors in a shirt or scarf automatically makes my coloring look fantastic. But actually on my face, I’m not sure…
I like the Bevel in Humidity/Melody, and the Stela 2 in Plum.
I wear these in violet quartz; http://www.framesdirect.com/framesfp/Marchon-mhohni/r.html
…but I much prefer wearing contacts.
Ooh, how fun!! I ended up buying no-prescription pairs from a cheapo place over the internet a while ago to decide! And they were kinda similar to some of these! (And now I use those pairs for playing “geek chic” while wearing contacts! How strange of me, I know!) So of course I love your taste in glasses! They’re all pretty cute, but I think I like the first and third pair the best! But I have a horrible time figuring these things out and would probably end up going back as well!! (And then when I bought a prescription pair, the prescription ended up being messed up! Oh well!) Good luck and have fun!!
Love the second pair!
I like 1 best! I also really like 4, but think that might be a bit too much for certain outfits. Glasses do have to be pretty multipurpose!
Wow, I think I would say numbers 1, 2, and 4! They look great – you wear glasses well
I love the cat-eye!
These are all great! I like the first and last options the best.
A toss-up ‘tween #1 and #2. Either pair works. The others don’t for me, but I can’t say why…
Any way to get something along the lines of pair 1 in the color of pair 4? I like the plum color with your complexion and hair/eye color, but like the shape of 1 the best. I’m a picky glasses person and currently wear these, FWIW: http://picasaweb.google.com/GARANTIAS.PARLON/KoaliOpticalAndSunglasses02#5271601477373100754
There are some nice frames there! I love when lines have lots of funky options with nose pieces, which is what I need. For the longest time, the cool colors and shapes only came in plastic.
I like number 1.
