Looking for advice from experts. I have a pretty small face. I went to the O Store today and tried on different pairs. to my surprise the flak jacket with standard lenses actually fit smaller than the half jacket. After talking with the rep and trying on every pair in the store (including the madman/badman/Ferrari collection/carbon blades) the rep asked what exactly I was looking for. I told him how I remember 15-16 years ago walking through the mall and seeing a pair of pennys and Juliets at a kiosk. Instantly I was in love. No other glasses would do. Now being that long ago I cannot for the life of me remember how the juliets fit, but I remember vividly wanting those pennys and loving the feel of wearing them. They fit my face well and felt like a piece of art painted on. That said I didn't have the money and thought at the time I would never spend that much on sunglasses. As the old saying goes, Never say Never.
Sorry, back on topic. So he goes to the back and pulls out the last pair of twenty xx he has. Rootbeer and bronze iridium polarized. I didn't care for the color much. I tried them on and while I wasn't blown away, I did enjoy the fit over most of the other pairs in the store (the bigger glasses just don't fit me well [pun intended both ways]) After getting home i started looking at twentys, fives squared (which also have a smaller footprint, and came across minutes on ebay. So my question is this. Do I go after an almost 200 pair or do I wait it out and try to find some pennys (not shelf whores by any means) that are inexpensive; and by that I mean less than 300 dollars? Also i am leery about buying a set on ebay I cannot touch and have no idea if they are authentic... Ive been obsessing for days and am very indecisive. Thanks in advance.
