optical illusions

My current glasses, ones bought a few weeks ago when it became clear the contacts were not going back into my eyes anytime soon and my other ones were, well, broken and the wrong prescription, are not the perfect glasses. 1 — they are solid black (not the optimum tortoiseshell) albeit with clear accents. 2 — they hurt, even after three adjustments. Either my right ear keeps shifting in place or there is something ultimately wrong with the arms or the flourishy-man who insisted on adjusting them too much in the shop.

So I've been trolling for other glasses. And yesterday, in a fit of despair, I bought these frames on ebay.

Also Oliver Peoples, I do recall trying them on in a shop and liking them somewhat, though they hearken to my old, broken glasses so were not bought. Discovering yesterday there is no way to replace or repair the old glasses (Bebe's Fritzie), I bought them at a vastly cheaper.

However, today I have discovered that though they were described as demi-amber in colour, Oliver Poeples has never made them in that colour. Rather, I fear they are burgundy in tone. Egad. Anyone know about Oliver Peoples Boheme?

Well, for $60 I think I can live with that. On occasion. The tortoiseshell, slightly cat-eyed, glasses hunt continues.

Man I miss my contacts.
