Are these the ones that you got?

Thanks Susan. My last pair was years ago and huge frames. Not the style anymore! weirdness for me...so small!....so Yes, I got these. I ended up trying on dozens of pairs, but kept coming back to these small, dark frames. They are by Elizabeth Arden and just for reading and close up stuff.
