I like... Fancy Sunglasses

I do! This is a new found love of mine and it is SUCH a guilty pleasure. I have been a major supporter of cheap, easily replaceable sunglasses for my entire life. I believed that expensive sunglasses were such a waste of money, especially with the rate that most people lost theirs. I have heard so many stories of people losing or breaking or dropping their $200 Ray Bans in the lake. Sad story and never want it to happen to me.

But I have noticed... I don't lose my sunglasses (aside from that one time I dropped a pair in the lake, but I quickly learned my lesson) nor do I break them. I am so very completely responsible when it comes to the proper care and accountability of my sunglasses. I have had one particular pair of sunglasses for over two years now. And, the current pair I sport, I have been wearing for the past six months without interruption and they only cost me $10. That's right... $10!! That's pennies a day.

So... I made the plunge. I purchased my first pair of ridiculously over-priced sunglasses. A beautiful pair of Ralph Lauren shades. And, I am SO in love. So much that I went back today and purchased a second pair of even more ridiculously over-priced Coach sunglasses. I am an addict. I am not afraid to admit it. But I have to stop there. More than two pair of sunglasses is just silly and frivolous. Honestly, who needs more than two pair? (If I'm really honest... who needs more than one?)

Here is my new pair of Coach glasses... aren't they beautiful!?!



But, I am absolutely determined to NEVER wear either pair of these sunglasses over any body of water. I have my $10 sunglasses that are designated for this task. In the event of an overboard situation, I shall not weep for a great loss...
