Fashion is fade, style is eternal.

So yesterday I went to this store for sunglasses. They had Ray Ban Aviator's for $140 and above. Yet the same shades are on Amazon for about $125. I think ill just get them from amazon.

The last pair of sunglasses I had, broke in half, 10 minutes after someone said "Oh I like those"  I wasn't mad because I never spend a fortune on sunglasses, unlike friends of mine, spending 200+ only to lose them 2 weeks later.

I like knowing, if they are lost/broken or stolen, I got my moneys worth by that time.

It may have been worth it back in the day when things were made to last.

But most stuff made these days are all made in China, in the very same sweat shop. Why pay $200 for the same quality, without the name? I dont care to impress anyone. I make cheap stuff look good.

I like Ray Ban because it really helps with my eyes.
I honestly see a very big difference when wearing that compared to my cheap ones. But I like my cheap ones that I've had for ever 5 years. Haha, they are so bad now but I love them too much to throw them out.

Btw, wannabe, you know that if you keep your receipt and can buy another pair for half off if you decide to get new ones much later on.

I'm terrible for losing sunglasses. I can easily go through 3 or 4 pairs of glasses a year because I keep losing them

by necessity I can only buy the $20 ones

My brother has Ray ban's and I have the 10 $ pair of glasses. And you are right, you can notice the difference in the lens quality and being able to see better.

The 10$ pairs I have I break easy cause I weak them whenever im outside working in the yard. Though the ray ban's I order, I don't plan on wearing them when im doing grunt work.

I think when you spend your own hard earned money on something. You protect it and take care of it a lot more. So I do plan on making the ray bans last.

Oh thanks about the receipt tip. I didn't know about that.

I don't know, I think a person should have some nice things. If im going somewhere dressed nice. Why kill the whole look by wearing 10$ shades?

To me there is a time and a place for the 10$ shades and a time and place to wear the more fancy shades.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

My favorite pair of sunglasses were $10 bucks. Lol. ...They served me well. The most expensive I'll go is $20.

Ill admit those rare gems, those 10$ sunglasses that make ya look like a million bucks exist. But, they are rare.

I looked everywhere for cheaper aviators that fit me well and nothing. =/ so I have to deal with the 140 from Ray Bans.

But I still look around all the time, and if I do find ones that I like I'll buy two of them.

Iv owned Fake Aviators and they didn't fit well to begin with. The frame was crocked and then they lens kept falling out. They were just horrible and actually looked Fake too lol.

I just can't find ones that are bigger and rounder. The one you posted is so nice but it doesn't fit me at all, you know? Thats usually what I see in stores. Though I have to say I love Target sunglasses and thats where I got my cheap one I've had for years. I just can't find aviators there that fit me good too.

Yeah, I think the max size for aviators is 64 or 62. Have you tried that size?

I don't really have much of a style at all. I really like boots but haven't had any since I can't afford them. I like shoes.

I noticed everyone is talking about aviators. We (my siblings) used to have bbqs at my house with lots of friends over and someone left some aviator sunglasses. They never came back for them and it's been maybe a year. If anyone wants them... they're still here. ^_^

Oh also I don't really like boots with high heels... they confuse me.
I have a pair of boots that are so high I can't wear them....
Whenever I looked for boots those were the only ones I could find after all the shoes had been picked through by other people. I have noticed a lot of nice flat/low heeled boots lately though, which is awesome.

OH! Sharon I did not even think of Kohls, I will definitely look there.

I am not sure honestly.

I have platform boots (but they don't go above my ankle so maybe they aren't real boots) and I absolutely love them.... I've even gone "hiking" in them multiple times.... used to wear them to college almost everyday my first years there. They are old and cracking now though.. I need to get some new ones because they are really the only shoes I'm comfortable in for job interviews.

Well if you are in a sunglasses store next time. Ask for the 62 size and see if those fit.
