Need New Glasses and Several Opinions

So, imagine that you've been wearing your contacts for 12+ hours and your eyes are tired, your contacts need a soak and it's time to take them out and go to bed.  
No sooner do you fall asleep, and your phone rings.
Suzie Q's water broke.
It's go time.
Do you want to put your contacts back in?  Heck no!
For this reason, I need new glasses with no-glare lenses that look cute 
even when I have no make-up on and my hair's a wreck.  
Tall order?
Perhaps.

I found an adorable on-line store called Rivet and Sway
and have in my possession a Home Try-on Kit with 5 frames to try for free!
But I need some opinions (c'mon Baylor Babes!!) before I can order any.

So here I am in several thoughtful, real-life poses.  


My favorite.  Style:  Character Study in copper penny.  Also available in black and purple.


 Joe and Mom's favorite.  Style:  Faster Pussycat (seriously) in black.  
Also available in tortoise and green (I think)


Nobody's favorite.  I thought I was going to love these based on the adorable nerd-chic look my favorite coffee barista rocks, but on me, it's all nerd and no chic.  What do you think? 
 Style:  Belle in cherry cola.  Also available in black and cookies and cream.


Mia and neighbor Samantha's favorite.  Style:  Checkpoint.  Also available in tortoise and blue/green.
 

And finally we have Punchline in Neopolitan.  Also available in tortoise, black and moss.  

(If you were wondering, Ali is neutral on all styles and Eva doesn't like any.  Aren't they helpful?)

My personal preference is for something a bit different, 
not too flashy, and usually with a bit of retro flair.  =-)  Not afraid of a splash of color. 

Okay, now leave your vote in the comments!  Thanks for your help!!

I like the first ones because they are like mine, ha! Mine are very lightweight. They are the least like glasses and don't make you look as tired as the second black pair. I really like the second black pair on you though, and think you'd look good in tortise/brown. Black can wash a person out and make them look tired.

I'm all for the first 2 options. :)

I like the first, second, and third the best. Which isn't super helpful is it? You look good in all of them though!

I'm reading and checking this long after your five day trial, so a decision has already been made. But, my favorite is style number 1 and style number 2 (in that order, too!) Either way you can't go wrong, you look way smart and adorable in both. Which one did you pick?!?

You can make anything beautiful, including all of these frames. My vote, however, is for the first photo: Because the frames are complimentary of your beauty. :-)

I like the first pair the best. Then the second one 2nd. ;)
