Honestly, I can't decide between tortie, crazy shapes and colors, or cat eye.

[snidegrrl]

the cat eye ones would look cute however the peripheral vision would be severely cut back.

I'm going to stick with "whatever flatters your face." It could be any of these.

[snidegrrl]

Do you think my current giant plastic squareish glasses flatter?

Things I know to avoid: wide rectangles, ovals.

[judithiscariot]

... not especially?

the problem is i'd have to see you with the different options on your face to form an opinion. but like miss angela, i think something thinner and lighter, while still funky, would be best.

[snidegrrl]

I do want the funky.

[angela_la_la]

I think you would look very pretty with something lighter than your current frames.

[snidegrrl]

sayonara hipster cred! ;)

[angela_la_la]

If you are soliciting honest opinions, I will say that there are many options which would be more flattering than your current frames.

Hipster is overrated. You're already hip, you don't need to prove it. :)

[snidegrrl]

I don't mind the honest opinions! I really like my current frames but I recognize that they are not technically flattering, per se. Or that most people don't see the same thing in them that I see. Jack, for instance, is not the biggest fan. I understand why!

Sometimes I do find myself wanting to bust out my old metal/minimal frames for a more elegant or pretty look. I like having the option.

[snidegrrl]

That thought did cross my mind.

You know, any one works I suppose. I'm partial to metal, personally. That's just me, it's your face for the frames so I guess YMBV (Your Mileage Better Vary :). I selected just replacing the lenses though, because we got new glasses very recently and I nearly choked at the price. However, we replaced frames and all this time around, as opposed to lenses only last time around. I strongly suspect the biggest part of the expense was the frames.

[snidegrrl]

For me, lenses cost a pretty penny because of my bad prescription and needing to get high-index. Previously I had not explored the "shop online" aspects of buying frames, so I intend to see if there are any bargains out there.

The only reason this crossed my mind is that the coating on my lenses is starting to scratch. :(

[madshutterbug]

We got our most recent upgrade because our prescriptions changed. I've still not replaced the PC work-glasses, which have scratched lenses.
