Sunglasses Update
26 January 2010
So for those who’ve been losing sleep over the sunglasses I lost back in November, I have an update for you.
I happened to be at Marshalls a couple nights ago, and my husband said, “Maybe they’ll have sunglasses that could work for you.” (For those who missed the original post, my 3-year-old sunglasses grew legs and ran off during vacation. Every pair I’ve tried on since then have made me look like some oversized bug from a bad Sci-Fi movie.)
Well, not only did they have sunglasses that “worked for me,” they had basically the exact same pair that I lost. I bought those down in Florida three years ago for $15, and a couple nights ago I paid $10 for the same ones. I really liked those sunglasses, so I’m mostly grateful, but part of me is bothered by this.
Like if I’m at Old Navy scouring the clearance rack, I’ll steer clear of a shirt that they have 50 of. I use that as an indicator of, “No matter what you may think, this shirt isn’t cool.” So to be able to buy the same pair of sunglasses three years later … it’s a bit unsettling.
And then I remember I’m trying not to care what other people think. So hurry up, summer. Me and my out of date sunglasses are ready.
No, no, no. That means the sunglasses are CLASSIC. True style, true elegance, supersedes those passing trends and can last for YEARS. ;-)
