Eyeglass Frames 1 Nov2010
November 14, 2010 by Christine Scaman
Recently at our Facebook meeting place, Valeria described her Personal Colour Analysis as having allowed her to “claim my identity”. Sometimes, you hear a small string of words that crystallizes a world of meaning into a little strand of sounds.
I haven’t stopped thinking about the many implications of that phrase since I read it. I’m happy enough to find you the perfect lipstick for your skin tone, the most believable color analyzed hair colour, and the clothing colours that announce the real you. When everyone else is buying a black dress for the Christmas party, you will be wearing a color that so becomes you that conversation will stop when you walk in. That’s all great stuff. Looking completely right is personally, professionally, and financially powerful dexterity to have on your side. I can talk about it all day.
Whether I’m in the room or not, the conversation always comes round to the topic I love even more: How To Find Your Own Voice.
Colour is electromagnetic vibration. So are we. The vibrations of our colours cannot NOT be an identical match for those of our inner being, or some part our total energy. They must be an exact duplicate. It is impossible for our colour vibrations to be spinning falsely and still be part of us because the same DNA decrees the physics of both. The colours in our body are a true and accurate representation of our most fundamental person.
Amidst the endless chatter of advice, the person in whom we need to learn to trust is ourselves. Colour Analysis is like the translator that gives that buried deepest being a Voice that you and others can understand.
If PCA is new to you, don’t get caught up in these concepts. It takes time to reach them. Start with finding the best reds, blues, greens, and yellows for your person. You may be on the ground floor, but this elevator only goes up.
Glass frames are a multifactored decision because you have the frames, and Season, and facial features to take into account. We could find the color analyzed cosmetic items that every member of the Season could wear beautifully, but not likely the eyeglass frames.
Wispy faces do better with wispy hair and finer accessories.
Small bodies look better with proportionately smaller accessories.
Use the frames and ideas here give a sense of how each Season is positioned among the 11 others and how it is best exemplified in the physical world.
This first series looks at a series of frames for Autumn blends. Notice the progression in the heat of the metal, in the darkness, in the type of decoration, and in the overall feeling. In 12 Season (12 Tone) Colour Analysis, there are 5 Seasons that contain some Autumn influence.
You can watch it here on YouTube as well.
I’ll add the photos of the glasses after the video, since the recording doesn’t go around the frames.

Thank you so much Christine. So glad to see someone of your stature take on this tough topic. My eyeglasses cost so much money. I have anxiety about making that all important decision. The opticians want to sell you the newest look. But I want the look that matches me. Can’t wait for the Springs!
Oh what beautiful glasses! Can’t wait to see the other seasons! Eyeglass shopping always vexes me, the sales people try to sell me what cost most, those with me often put me in what they think suits best but is heavily peppered with their preferences, and I’m left trying to negotiate a deal between the two parties and what’s going on in my own head! Quite the challenge…
Great video Christine, you speak such truth… PCA is so much more effective when we release our attachment to what “season” we are and instead view ourselves objectively from a distance. Getting attached to a season we “feel” like and then draping as something different really can throw one for a loop, especially if the season we truly are is worlds apart from what we expect. Our ego fights the reality we’re seeing “But I’m more dramatic than those colors!” or “I’m more gentle and subtle than this season’s colors!” when instead it needs to take a back seat so we can instead ask “What is it these colors can teach me about myself?” “What aspects of me that harmonize with these shades have I been hiding instead of showing to the world?”.
In the end it is up to us to find our own personal meaning in the season we are draped, anyone else’s thoughts on the matter are just opinions that may or may not ring true, and that’s okay. These aren’t 12 boxes to sort people into and then dictate how they should behave, these are 12 colors paths and those walking the same one may have similarities within them, but much variety as well…I think sometimes we all forget that.
Wow…I really, really liked Tiara’s comments about a “color path” instead of a “color box”. Over the top!
Those are beautiful glasses, by the way, Christine. You also appear to be evolving in your thinking about colors and personalities, too.
Christine, can you give links or brands of the frames pictured? All are beautiful. Great job, as usual.
Tiara has two gifts. She can think and she can feel. And I’ve forgotten the third – she can express the two. In fact, many women have all these gifts, but don’t trust them. They suppress them, but Tiara allows them. Very meaningful for me too, that a person would put so much thought into a comment.
You’re clearly an intuitive woman too, Kathryn. Yes, my thinking is evolving. One can only discuss lipstick for so long. Once the color is good, the hair is good, the clothes are good enough, the best of what we have is inside us. Time to go dig it up and take a long look at what it could be.
Cynthia, you may need to call Holland Optical – Ontario 519-352-8632. I believe Dark Autumn is Vogue, Soft Autumn is Sketchers, True Autumn is NC (not sure what that stands for), Soft Summer is GNX.
Thank you for the frame brands. By the way, you look great in your glasses!
Oh wow Kathyrn and Christine, thank you for saying such kind things. My thinking, feeling, and expressing aspects have been getting a work out this past week!
Thank you for reminding me they are gifts and deserve to be honored. The world I was raised in did not value them and taught me to hide and be ashamed of them. That the world I live in now allows me to connect with people like you who find value in those parts of me moves me more than words can express…
Thank you for hearing and understanding me, the validation is so healing.
