I Wear My...

I'm sure you've seen the monster huge sunglasses that the likes of Nicole Richie and Jessica Simpson enjoy sporting lately. Well, I decided to pick some up a few months ago, being the fashion slut that I am. I trucked on over to Ross (because in addition to being a slave to style, I am also a penny pinching scrooge.) I got a nice pair for about $7. They were slightly tight, but I blew it off and figured they'd stretch out.

I felt really trendy when I first wore them...until I developed a crushing headache because they were too tight for my big ol' noggin. I was forced to put on my sunglasses from seven years ago that I got at Hello Georgeous. They're a Ray-Ban-esque style that hasn't been in since the 80s, but they don't hurt me, so I keep wearing them. (They would go nicely with some footless tights...)

I was feeling particularly unhip, until I got my most recent issue of InStyle. It featured all the different shapes of sunglasses - cat-eye, wraparounds, aviator, etc (all painful for my pumpkin head) - but then, like a beacon of hope, they listed plain black "retro" sunglasses as a style that is being resurrected! It showed a papparazzi picture of Kirsten Dunst with a pair of sunglasses that are the spittin' image of mine. And if they're good enough for Kirsten, then they're good enough for me.

I'll just have to pay careful attention to how I accessorize so I don't look like Dan Akroyd.

Now if I could just get that Corey Hart song out of my head...
