Aren't these frames from Luxe Optique perfect on Rebeca? She is wearing Dita Eyewear, specifically the Mann Crystal frame. They effortlessly go with any color, and here's an insider tip: These frames also make for great "transitions" if you wanted to add the tint to the glasses for when you step outside. Inquire with Luxe Optique to see for yourself. (Oh yes, pun intended.)
