Orla kiely specs at boots

Can I see what you think of these, have been for eye test yesterday and told I'm short sighted. Quite fancy these but as a shy type wonder if too fancy. I'm torn between thinking what the hell go for it, or blending into the background. I know if I don't get a pair I love I won't bother wearing, but they are expensive at nearly 200 pounds a go

They're very 60s, like her shoe range for Clarks. Not sure I'd like that much furniture on my face, they don't look very flattering - more eccentric and quirky...

i like them but i think its all about what suits your face . if they look nice on then get them , dont think they're too fancy .

I like them a lot. Shame I don't wear glasses.

It does depend on whether they suit you but I like them. I also think it would be a false economy to go for a cheaper pair that you don't like as much. If you're going to be wearing them every day then I would spend as much as you can afford.

I need to wear glasses NOW

EduCated · 31/01/2014 12:41

I like some of them, but I like chunkyish glasses. But all depends if they suit your face shape or not, I love really round ones, but they just look utterly bizzarre on me! I suit wider, squarer frames.

I'm all for fun glasses, if I'm going to wear them, I might as well go all out!

I love the tortoiseshell finish ones. I tried them on this week but sadly I looked an absolute bugger in them :( If they suit you I think they're fab.

I got these on Tuesday:

I love them. But I like the Orla ones more.

I love them! SIGH I wish I needed glasses, they are lovely and I suit strong frames with sunglasses etc.

Thanks for the feedback , I've been to boots today and love the tortoise shell ones even more now. They looked fab Smile

I have the the third ones down - they're great! Once you get used to wearing them, they feel a lot less 'look at meeeeee!' on your face.

buttercrumble · 02/02/2014 13:56

Lyonesse yes they're the ones , I have ordered them. I will feel a bit self conscious at first. But I love them Smile
