Word #1

Bespectacled

Source: Kindlon, D., & Thompson, M. (1999). Raising Cain: Protecting the Emotional Life of Boys. Ballantine Books.

How it was used: "Even the most fair-minded leader among the boys is, at some point, drawn into the pack's frenzied taunting of Piggy, the pudgy, bespectacled picture of vulnerablilty and the voice of reason."

Definition: Bespectacled: (adjective)
1. Wearing eyeglasses
2. Wearing, or having the face adorned with eyeglasses, or an eyeglass.

My Sentence: Although the woman had a warm and loving heart, her bespectacled appearance scared everyone away.

Hmmm...would wearing eyeglasses really scare people away? Perhaps you should rethink your sentence. The rest is fine.
