My new glasses

[catnapper]

Ok, I got my new glasses and they are a LOT redder and funkier than I remember. Then again, I was practically blind while picking them out LOL.

I have gotten no feedback from friends other than "oh, you got your new glasses. They look.... nice." I'm not sure if they really look nice... am I walking around like a bigger goober than I already am. I have 30 days to decide if I love them. I do like them, but are they ME?

Here's two shots I took of myself (boy is that harder than it looks!) both were taken at the same time but the lighting is a bit different, somehow I felt it might help




Please.... help me out. Are they sharp? Are they too cool for a frumpy gal? Too bright? Or just right?

I like them on you!

I like them, but they look best when you're smiling.

Should I put Vaseline on my teeth so I can smile all day long like the beauty pagent girls do?

The ones who said they are wrong for me.... could you please point out why? Shape, color, size? If I replace them I need to know what not to look for again.

I only voted that they are wrong because i think that they yould look better yellow. Other than that i think that they look great.

Kim, I honestly think they look good! Only thing that might bother me (if they were mine) is that the color might clash with some things I wanted to wear. But, if you still have another to change out with, then no problem! BTW, your hair looks great! Very cute and professional!

well they are certainly more flattering in the picture where you are smiling!
I like them!

[Flatcoatluver]

I really like them on you! Smile more!

Kim you are on the cutting edge! At least that is what I think based upon the style that people are buying at the office where I work. I have watched the styles change over the years and it really is something. Actually the darker plastic frames remind me of the 60's and 70's and now they are back. My son's new glasses actually are very similar to yours. I say just relax and be in style. I like the shape and they look fine. Oh, and I like the serious photo because it is closer up.

I think they are cute. My sister in law has a very similar pair in black and they are too dark on her face even with her dark hair. I think your red ones are better, not so dark.

I like them!

[jenluckenbach]

Oh boy, here I go.......... I don't like them. To be honest (and this usually gets me in a lot of trouble) I don't like the shape. And while you could live with the color, not for very long.
I'm sorry.

(my mom always said I was like Mikey -eating Life cereal- I don't like ANYTHING! LOL)

Not to worry, I found a 2-pair sale. I planned on one plastic pair and one metal pair. The metal ones had an issue with the lens being shaped wrong - it kept popping out of the frame so they're back to be reshaped. I liked them, wireless on the bottom and dark navy blue metal tops. The blue almost looks black. I figured the plastic pair would be back-up or days I wanted to have some color. I had a LOT of red clothing, but funny, I haven't worn red since I bought these, too much red! So I've been wearing all my black, tan, and white stuff. Let me tell you, green looks AWFUL with these, and blue looks patriotic. LOL

Thanks for all the input. Don't worry Jen, you didn't insult me. I asked for opinions.

[caseysmom]

I like them a lot. I think that you can wear that color with anything and I like the shape

[mike001]

I thought they looked nice on you. Find them complimentary on you. If you feel good and see good, what else matters?
