I figure I might as well just get new frames. Any suggestions? (I suspect I'll just get boring dark wire frames as per usual, but if you think the frame shape I normally get is horrid on my face or whatever, now's your chance to speak. I'm gonna go after work today, so your window of opportunity is limited.)

(P.S. I totally need a sexy glasses icon; I like the idea of this -- by iliana -- but am not deeply enamoured of the icon itself.)

Danke.

So many details.

We would say I'm round-faced, right?

I'm guessing I'm warm-colored, though it looks like I prefer frame colors suited for cool coloring (which I'm v. okay with).

I'd say you're neutral-you don't strike me as either warm or cool, particularly.

the real question

is how long it will take people to notice you got new frames :)

Well...coming from a fandom where TEH SPECS have their own community, I dug up a few for you. Not like, you know, you like DW, or anything.

You're so sweet. (Though yes, I probably won't use them since I don't watch DW. I'm also thinking I probably want an icon of a specs-bedecked woman.)

I find that they're making the frame too small nowadays. I don't want huge grandma glasses, but I look better with a cats eye kinda frame that actually covers my whole eye. When I was trying on glasses recently, all the frames seemed to be square and really really tiny. Those are only flattering on diminutive people with really fine bone structure. Which is not me.
