Yesterday afternoon I lost track of time in Nordstrom Rack.

There were shelves and shelves of sunglasses, all on sale, and I couldn’t resist.

Sunnies in the kitchen.

The sunglasses are by Fossil, which a friend told me is going out of business, but as far as I can tell she’s a liar. In any case, I ain’t mad at Nordies for offering these $45 pink beauties for a measly $19.97.

I also recently purchased a pair of prescription lenses, and found out today that they’re ready to be picked up.

They’re my first – yes, I’m losing my glasses virginity – and I almost didn’t purchase them. I started with a mad-on for a pair of $500 handmade French frames (of course I did) and then realized that there was no way, even for a pair of glasses I’ll wear forever and never replace (yeah, right) that I could afford that amount of money.

So I kept looking.

I finally found these frames and fell in love – less in love than with the French frames, but every love is different and I don’t mind. They’re a boatload less, and I still got to try them on, in person, and make sure they looked good. (I’ll use Zenni Optical once I’m comfortable picking frames for my face.)

I guess what I’m trying to say is that I’ve been into glasses lately.

Do you wear glasses?
What kind, and where did you get them?

If you don’t wear glasses, tell me about your sunnies – photos are worth extra points!
