I think the aviator style is really cool, but I don't think that is a look for me either.  I look back to some of the glasses I have worn over the years --- very tiny wire frames to huge, heavy plastic frames that covered my face!  Glad you fund one that suits and is comfortable!

@Desertdi 

Those are really sharp!  I bet you look terrific in them!

@Still Raining 

How true.  If they are not comfortable, doesn't matter how good looking they are!!! Yes,I'd look something really different but yet not too crazy!!!

@geezerette 

I know what you mean.  I have often just got new lens put in and kept the same frame.  I opt for light frames because heavy ones just aren't comfortable. Comfort is very important!

I have a pair of frames once that were sort of half rims, for lack of a better term, and they were terrible.  Not durable at all.  Won't go that route again!  Some glasses are durable but feel hot and heavy.  That's not good either.  It's a big choice and takes a lot of time, I think!

@jubilant 

Yes, very true.  I like to be sort of there but not too out there! I leave those uber modern ones to the younger people!

I've had glasses in some form or fashion since I was 16!  Of course, my eyes have changed a lot and needs have changed as well.  Yes, I now have the need to wear them more often than not.  It's good to have an extra pair on hand, in case one pair breaks or even just for a change if a person can afford it.

I agree.  I used to ask the Optician to help me pick them and didn't really care for their choices.  I just do it myself.  I have a plastic frame now that is kind of a dark blue, but not navy, sort of transparent and rather mosaic, with different muted colors running through, sort of like a stained glass window.  I really do like them and it will be hard pressed to find a pair I like as well. But I do want something different!  I think so also -- a bolder, flashier pair of sunglasses is fun!!!

I never wore contacts.  By the time I decided I wanted to try them, the eye doctor said -- no, your eyes are too dry and you have other eye issues which would not be good for contacts.  I was disappointed and thought --- really?  But I decided - o.k., maybe better not.  Lucky you!  I always wanted to get contacts in a really beautiful color --- such as a turqoise (sp) or a very vivid green!  Oh, well, I have to make due with my wishy washy blue/green color!

Your glasses sound so pretty!  I would probably like them as pink is one of my favorite colors!  I am self-conscious about my nose as well.  I think it's big but DH says --- what? -- no way - your nose is not big at all.  Any way, I think it's good that your eyes are staying well and no changes!
