I love sunglasses
I’m in a spring state of mind. Warmer weather and more daylight has me clearing out my draws, skimming through magazines and shopping for the perfect pair of sunglasses. I love sunglasses, and If you are like me, you love them too! They are such a fun piece of accessory to add to your daily style and I love that they transition from season to season. I’m a fan of sunglasses that come in different shapes, sizes, and even color. My perfect pair of sunglasses leave me feeling bold yet sexy all in one. In addition to sunglasses being a major fashion statement, they are also important for our sight, and protecting our eyes from harmful uv rays. If we must wear them, we might as well look fabulous while we are at it. That is why I have put together this post highlighting what you need to know before buying your next pair of sunnies.If you have been following me for a while you know that I am completely obsessed with all shapes and sizes of sunglasses. A lot of people tend to break or lose their sunglasses, which creates hesitation when purchasing expensive pairs. Unlike most, I tend to keep my sunglasses for quite some time. I literally have sunglasses that are over 10 years old and are still on trend funny enough. Hence I would consider myself somewhat of a sunglass connoisseur has I have a knack for picking sunglasses that will last the test of time, and sunglasses that are on trend.
