You ladies look snazzy in your new specs.
― ENBB, Monday, 23 January 2012 19:57 (twelve years ago) link
Those look a lot like my old glasses! And that haircut is beyooooond hot.

Aw thanks, guys. I am feeling greasy and untrimmed today so that's welcome.

I approve of all these new glasses
― just1n3, Monday, 23 January 2012 20:38 (twelve years ago) link
This, yes. Laurel I love that those are 'taller' than a typical black frame pair - I always feel like no one can see my eyes in my preferred style! (Which gives me freedom to put on drag queen levels of eyeliner & mascara..not complaining.)

They are "taller" but they also fall down my nose every 5 mins so that kind of negates the extra height from the top.

I'm sure it's been covered, but anyone order from warby parker? Looks like a good deal, nice site design
― mh, Saturday, 28 January 2012 18:12 (twelve years ago) link
i just got mine from there. i LOVE them, tho i wish they had more selection. but i ended up finding ones that were great. the home try-on option is wonderful, i almost got my mom sold on new frames from my home try-on box, since my dad says her current ones make her look like the church lady.
― JuliaA, Saturday, 28 January 2012 18:15 (twelve years ago) link
You love gorgeous, Julia!

cosign - looks great julia!
i've tried warby parker frames but didn't end up ordering them - they are nice but did not suit me.
the band across the nose is wide and heavy looking in all their frames (because they are all plastic so to be sturdy enough i suppose it has to be that way). if that look doesn't work for your face (i know it's in fashion right now but i still can't get over how unsuited it is to my face).. you're out of luck. i worried that they are so masculine style, they made me look a little too androgynous! if i had longer hair/more obvious makeup it would be a better look

Love the glasses, Julia!

hey now that I'm actually viewing the thread with images: Julia, great pick! They're a good match for your face
― mh, Saturday, 28 January 2012 22:03 (twelve years ago) link
thanks! :)

just seeing laurel's specs. omg! lovvvve <3 <3 you are adorable! also i think i may have had s try those on recently! (they are cuter on you!)

I got new frames - black, heavy - that make feel like what'shername from scoobydoo, i.e. awesome.

You're like a Velma-Daphne hybrid!
― Laura Lucy Lynn (La Lechera), Thursday, 16 February 2012 00:11 (twelve years ago) link
Velma! Yes! I'm not sure they entirely ” suit” me, but I just love them.
― just1n3, Thursday, 16 February 2012 01:03 (twelve years ago) link
I am the worst, I made this thread title so unsearchable
Anyway ClearlyContacts had a free pair coupon so I picked up these, I love them already. Hope they suit me!

omg those are totally great! They are the Love brand, yeah? I have had a lot of luck with that brand of glasses (wearing a pair right now, actually).
― carl agatha, Wednesday, 18 July 2012 14:40 (eleven years ago) link
Are they purple? I think that will look super with your hair color.
super cute! i ordered a pair of rx sunglasses the other day - should be here today!
― obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Wednesday, 18 July 2012 14:44 (eleven years ago) link
Purple and Love - you're good! I shied away from the kind without rims at the bottoms because I like to cover my eye bags but I got another free CC pair last year that are the same (I'm actually wearing them now) so I'm optimistic.
I also ordered these, which are the sunglasses I currently have in red (sometimes with the hair I feel like I am a bit overloaded with red..) I ordered these from Zenni because (a) I really like the red pair's shape/fit and (b) CC charges an extra $60(!!) for sunglass tint. It's probably higher quality or whatever but the Zenni ones came to $50 without any coupon at all, tint included.

I bought white sunglasses because Flo in the Progressive commercials looks so cute in them on a boat in an ad I saw last night ;_; I am ridiculous.

wooo rrrobyn! Can't wait to see. fwiw FBFREECA is the code and since you're Canadian you can get in on that ;)

I LOLed

I know, I felt silly even admitting that but you guys get all of me, good or bad. :)
― she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Wednesday, 18 July 2012 14:48 (eleven years ago) link
I should have clarified that I LOLed affectionately. As someone who only yesterday intentionally dressed and accessorized based on a bit player in a Star Trek episode, I ain't judging.

wearing my new sunglasses on facebook, too lazy to post here, look it up yrselves?
they're just some warby parker frame that looked the best of the sample kit I checked out

SOME OF US are not on Facebook.
― carl agatha, Wednesday, 18 July 2012 14:53 (eleven years ago) link
SOME OF US have not been added by mhs even though they are totalling on FBsorry I ditched my G+ and lost you, CA :)
― she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Wednesday, 18 July 2012 14:54 (eleven years ago) link
if you guys need any addition problems solved, I'll be on FB, totalling them.. :P
I've more or less ditched G+, too, other than using it as a platform on which to share and discuss articles w/ Jeff (like how we used to use Google Reader before they pooped all over it).
― carl agatha, Wednesday, 18 July 2012 14:57 (eleven years ago) link
ah, well I feel less bad. Every once in a while I think 'why don't I have CA on FB' then remember you're on G+ and now I can feel like I am missing out on less!
― she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Wednesday, 18 July 2012 15:04 (eleven years ago) link
also I creeped ILX group and found mh, his glasses are quite nice.
― she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Wednesday, 18 July 2012 15:05 (eleven years ago) link
I also vote for missing the google reader article sharing/discussion ;_;
― hot sauce delivery device (mh), Wednesday, 18 July 2012 15:06 (eleven years ago) link
Don't tell Jesse because he'll start hounding me about it, but sometimes I think about putting up an anonymouse FB profile just to stay in the loop. But FB has such a creepy "people you may know" algorithm that I'm afraid it will take like a week before the same high school creepers and righteously estranged family members start e-pawing at my door.
I only ever shared stuff w/ Jeff via Reader but we did it a lot. G+ is a poor substitute.
― carl agatha, Wednesday, 18 July 2012 15:08 (eleven years ago) link
I thought about doing the same for twitter since I would like something more anonymous - if I even add a couple of the same friends, it'll just start telling everyone "Lex is over here!" :( Social media is annoying.
― she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Wednesday, 18 July 2012 15:27 (eleven years ago) link
I just ignore estranged people and high school acquaintances, tbh. It's easy, you just push "no" if they try to befriend you and never, ever think about it again :)
― hot sauce delivery device (mh), Wednesday, 18 July 2012 15:29 (eleven years ago) link
I've got some very tenacious family members (details on the family problems thread if you're interested) and I'm not afraid to say no/block but I also get tired of having to constantly police my personal virtual space from folks who can't take "ignore" for an answer. This one shitheel that I was good friends with in college went total Fox News Neocon once the drugs wore off, I guess, and I unfriended him and he seriously wrote me six messages started with "Did you accidentally unfriend me? Hey!" devolving to, "I guess you can't deal with someone challenging your opinions, you bitch."
I just don't need that kind of crap in my life.

Jenny, you could set up a fb w/pseudo name, and make the privacy settings so that you can't be friended AND you can't be messaged - then you have total control. And you can set it so your friends list is only visible to your friends.

SO my free pair turned out cool, as FB people saw.. https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/418223_10151065821418578_396312089_n.jpg
But the white sunglasses I ordered - I fucked up! I bought the wrong kind of lens. I paid $20 for transition lenses that tint to 60% grey, when I wanted lens (that were $5!) permanently tinted to 80%. They look SO STUPID on me when they are clear - they are these, but in white - https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/s720x720/554598_10150964684402209_621669017_n.jpg - my eyes are tiny little dots in this vast frame. Going to test them in sunlight this afternoon to see how fast/dark it becomes but then probably sending it back, for only a stupid 50% refund n a $50 pair, grr. Then like a chump I will probably order them again with the proper tint. I can't believe I managed to pair more than I needed to for a shittier product. :(
