Help with a decision?

It is time for new wings. I need a small pair for wearing out and about and I am having trouble deciding.  There are three pair that all have good and bad points. Which one do you like?

The first and second link are the same wing style with different coloring on them.

I would like to have them all, but I did just quit one of my jobs :)

I like the first one, it feels like it has more character and design to it. However, it also looks like it could be the largest of the three.

Numbers one and two are the same wing with different coloring. It seems as though number one is the clear winner.

I like the first one most!

I like the lizette style better than the beetle style. Either of the two colors would be fine - what do you plan for the rest of your costume? You look fantastic in browns (so the first choice) but you also do well as a tree spirit in the muted greens...

This pair will be for nothing special. Just jeans and a hoodie sort of thing. Everyday wear, if you will.

If they are not going to be "special" for anything, then I would go with the monarch coloring. Brown is so ordinary until, suddenly, it's not. ::grin::

That is a wonderfully beautiful point.

I think #1 is the prettiest by itself. But I didn't get a good sense of scale for it, and in terms of a small pair for wearing out and about, I liked #3 the best. IMO, you can't go wrong with either of those, but #2 was kind of yucky.

I must avoid yucky!

I like the first ones best.

That seems to be the consensus.
