I love sunglasses. But, inevitably, I step on them. Or lose them. Or break them. I even had a pair that spontaneously combusted while I was on the beach (and,yes, they were on my face). So I made myself a little rule about only buying cheap sunglasses. Here's where I've found my cheap sunglasses!

My 3 Pound Louie's

Louie Vuitton knock-off’s purchased while on holiday in the UK for 3 GBP’s (approximately 6 dollah).

I was there at the end of May. And, yes, I’m wearing a sweat shirt AND a winter coat (over my long sleeved shirt).

BRRRR, England, BRRRRR!

Why Should You Wear Sunglasses?

They …

  • Provide protection from UV (ultraviolet) rays in sunlight.
  • Provide protection from intense light.
  • Provide protection from glare.
  • Eliminate specific frequencies of light.
But, just remember, the higher the protection the higher the cost.  Your cheap sunglasses will still offer some protection. It’s best to replace them often.  Or, hey, rotate your styles.  Buying cheap sunglasses also means being able to buy MULTIPLE pairs of sunglasses.

Current Sunglass Trends

Wraps – Extending past the eye to the temple, this style “wraps” around the face.
Shields – One-piece shields have a modern look and are often partially rimmed or rimless and come in a wide range of tints.
Aviators – Shaped like a teardrop, metal-rimmed aviators have enjoyed waves of trendiness since WWII when pilots favored this style
Clip-ons – An easy way to convert prescription eyeglasses to sunwear, clip-on shades can attach with either clips or magnets.

Look Good In Cheap Sunglasses

Choose sunglasses that are different from the shape of your face.   Round face means just say NO to round sunglasses.  Thin Face?  Round it out, baby.

My least favorite place to buy cheap sunglasses. (Admittedly I’m not a fan of Wal-mart for buying anything.)

But, desperate times call for desperate measures.

While on vacation I got a pair for $7.00 after my $5.00 pair was stepped upon.

Although, they are the cheapest of the cheap … at this point they are on stand by for the “Oops, I stepped on my more expensive cheap sunglasses and need something to tide me over until I can get to Five Below” moments.

I like bunnies, tucking my jeans inside of my boots, being in warm places, Shooter Jennings, Coca-Cola, photos taken in photo booths, boys who are made of 'snakes and snails and puppy dog tails', and recycling paper.
