Sunglasses; My Dangerous Addiction.

Hello again!
Sorry it's been so long since I last posted anything! 

This post is just a little bit of fun, seeing as I haven't done anything interesting within the last two weeks, so I thought I would share part of my sunglasses collection.

Read: Part. 

I actually own quite a few more pairs than I'm going to show, but they're either just plain simple pairs, or pairs I have yet to retrieve from various friend's houses thanks to my habit of putting them in someone else's bag when I'm not using them! 

Almost every time I go shopping I buy at least one new pair of sunglasses, if not more. 
They're just so versatile and can make looks complete. 
Not only that, but the mixture of my having extremely sun sensitive eyes, on top of living in Hawaii where sunglasses aren't just a fashion statement, but a necessity, it's easy to get caught in the wave of $5 sunnies in all kinds of colours and styles. 

Let's start shall we?

(Disclaimer: Oh lordy lordy lordy I should really work on my camera skills any angles shouldn't I. These are pretty awful.)



To be honest I don't even remember where I got these from. 
I've had them for at least two years, and I used them a lot more back when my style was a little more eclectic like this. 
I loved wearing them with a white shirt and a bright orange pair of shorts which I still have somewhere in my wardrobe. 



I got these from a local surf shop here for about $25. They're Crush which I think is also a local brand. 
I generally wore these when I was going off to the beach for the day and would wear them in to the water so the look wasn't as important, but still wanted a generally slim line and high UV protection pair. 




I got these for $5 from somewhere but I really can't remember where. I want to say Charlotte Russe but I don't know for sure. 
They aren't actually a bright orange, but a turtleshell colour, with turquoise ends. 
Again, these were another one of my summer go-to's. 



I actually bought these the other day at Charlotte Russe for about $6. 
I've yet to wear them out, but I'm super excited to. 
These are something I would wear more in the winter/colder seasons. 
I love pairing things like these with my all black or very monochrome outfits, for that little pop of detail. 



I got these at the same time as the ones above, and haven't worn them either.
I'm saving them for summer, because I aim to have a easy breezy almost spring like look this year. 
They're absolutely adorable and remind me of something a pin up girl might wear with her big flouncy red dress. 



These are actually pretty old but they have served me well!
You can see a few scratches, but I still like to wear these on a casual day out. 
They were given to me by a friend with a similar sunglasses addiction, right before I visited California for the first time. (Speaking of, I'm planning another visit in the near future! I can't wait to take pictures and post them up here ^^) 



These have the same rose-viney detail as the round pair above, but were $24 at Aldos. 
I wore these almost non-stop when I got them. I love how fancy it makes a simple black outfit look. 



Now these are actually one of my favourite pairs. 
They're a little bit mannish, but that's what I like about them. They kind of add an edge to my outfit. 




This is another older pair, as you can see from the scratches, which I got for $3 at a thrift store. 
I wore these a lot a few years ago too. They gave me a more sophisticated feel to my otherwise simple outfits. 



Ok lately I have been obsessed with the round glasses as you could see from my recent purchases. 
These were $5 from Forever 21.
I just think they're so odd that they add such an interesting aspect to so many outfits.
Whenever I feel like adding that little street style pop, I will wear a pair of my round frame glasses. 
This pair is a little warmer so it's good for more coloured outfits. 



These are pretty much the same as the ones above, but a little edgier. 
$15 at City Mill which is a really weird place to find sunglasses but hey. 
And I absolutely love the little arrow details on the side. 
I prefer darker lenses in general, mostly because people can't see my eyes and I have a tendency to zone out, but with dark lenses, they will never know!
I wear these with "colder" styled outfits. 
With less colour and more sharp lines. 


These next three are just silly ones that I have for fun. However I have worn them on several occasions! 


This lenseless pair was given to me as a christmas gift by one of my friends who has a matching pair. 
I don't think I've worn these anywhere aside from the house. 




I got these last summer when my cousin came to visit and we went a little nuts shopping. 
$5 from Forever 21. 
I wore these to the grocery store once, and actually got a girl around my age say as she passed me "Nice glasses."
However I'm not sure if she was making good-natured fun of them or actually insulting me... 



This is the last pair, something I bought for fun at Pricebusters for $3.50.
I wore these in our 4th of July parade last year. 
Look at that bow! So cute heheh. 


And that's all I have for today!
Give me a few more months and I'm sure I'll have more to show you, but for now, I hope you enjoyed having a peek in to my collection. 
What kind of sunglasses do you have? Do you wear them often? 
Thanks for reading!
Bye~
