OP, you should post a picture so people know what you're talking about. You're starting the conversation, you should do the legwork so people can easily give the opinions you're asking for.

She kind of looks like Groucho Marx here. Don't do it, OP.

I have a feeling the bold/nerd glasses trend will be ending soonish - like skinny jeans eventually going away. Boo to losing both those things, because I am a fan.

OP - this is my worry too.

Usually I wear contacts, so if I am going to wear glasses they might as well be fun.

PP again - I don't know your budget, but maybe you can get a pair of Warby Parkers that are sort of similar. They are very well priced for glasses, and I think look good - and if in a year or two you're sick of them, so be it.

I'm on my 4th or 5th pair of Warbys and have been happy with them. They've held up just as well as the more expensive glasses I used to buy.

My face just looks better with thick plastic frames, so this will be my style even when wire rims are back "in." My personality & job description fit the sassy nerd look, so it's ok.

I think skinny jeans/slim cut pants are always sort of in - sometimes more so than others, but that cut can look really classic.

My glasses are very similar, except the inside is pink. I love them. They're my everyday glasses. I see people in similar glasses all the time. Maybe I notice them more because I wear similar glasses, but they're not unique or uncommon.

I say go for it if you try them on and like them.

This is a several years old trend. In fact the trend is kind of over now and is being replaced by clear frames.

i just got my first pair of glasses and totally got big black frames. they are bold...but I like them. mine have a touch of gold on them too...Valentino's. They're my only pair and I don't have contacts, although my vision isn't terrible without glasses yet.

I like her glasses a lot.

Her's are a thicker frame than mine, but I have something that's similar as my every day, wear to work glasses. On weekends I wear contacts 75% of the time. I love my glasses, but I also work in the tech industry so rocking the nerd look works. If you like them, go for it.

But I will say I don't think her glasses fit her face at all. I don't like having the eye so far at the top of the lens like that. Glasses look better a bit more centered around the eye.

I got black frames with a smaller rectangular shape and got so many compliments but they sure weren't me- not on the daily... and when my other, more inconspicuous pair broke and I was stuck wearing these day in day out... ugh... also gave me a huge blind spot when shoulder checking.

I also agree you have to be able to believable pull off 'sexy nerd' and though I am sexy and also nerdy I'm not 'sexy nerd'.

As someone who wears glasses, they scream this is not my primary means of vision. I'm going to guess that she wears contacts primarily and these are her fun glasses.

If I had a lot of money, I would have multiple pairs of glasses for different moods. That would be fun.

Also, I'm guessing she has a simple prescription -- if I was to wear glasses that size with my lens prescription, I'd probably need a neck brace.
