Sunglasses - Page 3

Of course. I thought that huge glasses already swept the nation, in college girls, high school girls and middle aged women. I mean, bug glasses are everywhere.

Earlier this week, I went on a sunglasses-hunt. Now, I like my sunglasses big enough to cover my eyes, sure, but preferably small enough so that my face not only actually shows, but so that the tan-line ends up somewhere above the jaw-line (it should preferably not be visible at all, to be honest). Unfortunately for me, there's this Hollywood-trend happening, where bigger is better, leading to my options being somewhat limited. I went from cheap store to cheap store, looking for something that didn't make me look like a Hollywood-starlet-turned-druggie-wannabe, but no such luck.. Eventually, I got so fed up, I bought the biggest, baddest sunglasses I could find:

They make me want to.. pose!

Yes, those are the ones are the type I was talking about. They are everywhere on college campuses among the female population.

Just remember. Half of them wear them because they can't find anything else. It's not easy finding stuff that isn't in fashion.

Wow pierce, you really can't get any more unoriginal can you :p

What are you talking about? I was backing up my previous statement.

My old shades.

I never wear sunglasses. I guess I have never needed them. I use to think it was people with blue or green eyes who needed them most, and brown eyes naturally shaded themselves...hence my not needing them. I don't think that is true, though. Plus, I don't like the way they look on me.

I find it more difficult to communicate with a person wearing dark glasses, because I can't see their eyes.

(gasp) is that you, rkzenrage? OMG, I didn't know you were so hot!

I have 2 pairs of Oakleys - no idea what kind, they were bought for me in Duty Free by people coming back from the US. I love them for taking the painful edge off the world without taking away the colour.

But as I am careless with my belongings I usually buy supermarket sunglasses to supplement them. Right now I have a pair with huge white frames with rhinestones in the rims. Think Vegas era Elvis. Matches the chins.

Ditto everything CF said about needing them and buying cheap ones at Target.
I splurged and bought a $20 pair last year at Cabelas, wore them twice I think, then I accidently threw them on the ground and stepped on them as I was walking into a store (sunglasses indoors ais a major peeve of mine).

I bought a pair of Fossils with one of LJs rewards cards - they look just like cop glasses.

I won't buy glasses that aren't polarized now.

Me either. But then I buy the cheapest ones I can get. I try to get the blue with hints of red/purple mirrored ones, but you appear to be wearing my current pair in your second pic, rkz

Those were around $50
