Searching for Shades
The summer after high school graduation I started wearing shades that were way too big for my face, and I’ve never looked back. I started with an oval pair that had tortoise shell frames (very Jackie O.), and made my way through until I landed on my favorite a few years ago. A pair of sunglasses that were black framed, almost square, and cost $5. They broke last December as I walked into an Office Depot to buy a cordless mouse for my aunt. Memories are funny, replacing sunglasses is not. Now that the temps are on the up and up – at least here – I need to find a new pair.

Until…I bought a pair of huge (men’s actually) aviators. They still probably look silly, but because I think they are fun and I mean them to come off kind of silly, I love them!!!!!

My current most favourite pair are my prescription Oliver Peoples. I love them. I just ordered a few non-prescription pairs from OC Shades (via http://mrslilien.squarespace.com/shoppe/) including a pair that’s the same as the black round ones at the top. I should get them next week!
