Fashion Friday: Sunglasses/Eye glasses!

Fashion Friday!

So ladied and gents, it's SUMMER! When i think of summer i think of late nights, a lot of tanned skin, floral head pieces and my favorite... SUNGLASSES (or glasses)!

Now... in my opinion sunglasses/glasses can make or break an outfit. They can either pull to much attention, or not enough. What i mean by that is if you have an exciting outfit on that you feel confident in, wear a bland/plain pair of glasses. You wouldn't want to be wearing an amazing colorful outfit with patterns and have all the attention pulled up to your eye glasses. And vice versa, if you have an outfit on that's plain, and chill then wear a pair that is either a pop of pattern or a pop of color to complete your outfit. Now i'm not talking like bright red glasses with diamonds, i'm talking about subtle changes; (like shape and size and color). Little changes!!

So in this post i'll be showing you MY personal favorite sunglasses and eye glasses. (if you'd like a post on what sunglasses look best [in my opinion] on different shaped faces let me know!).. lets start off with the eye glasses. 

 Skylar Readers
Style: half plasticframed, brown tortes with glossy lenses (also sold in Black half frams) 
Price: $14.00 (i'm sure forever 21 has a similar pair but these are better quality) 
Where can these be found: Urban Outfitters (click here to check them out)
Looks best with: Just about every outfit. I love wearing winged eyeliner with them because of the glossy lenses. 
Why i like these: Like i said you can wear these with any outfit, and it can complete it. I personally love pairing these with simple make-up and a chill (leggings, cardigen, shirt, and a scarf, with boots) outfit. 

Oversized Round Readers
Style: Round brown plastic frames all the way around (Also sold in Black frams) 
Price: $16.00 (i'm sure Forever 21 has a similar pair for less, but these are a lot better quality)
Where they can be found: Also urban outfitters (click here to check them out) 
Looks best with:Chill outfits, but i like to dress them up with a vintage outfit
Why i like these: They're oversized so they add a lot to a vintage look. 

Now for the Sunglasses... 


Style: Rose gold aviators
Price: $6.00 
Where they can be found: Mine are from Amazon, which are no longer being sold :(
Looks best with: Everything, i love wearing these with dresses and fancier outfits
Why i like these: They're rose gold, what's not to love?!

Circle sunglasses
Style: Brown circle lenses
Price: $18.00
Where these can be found: Mine are from amazon as well, and are no longer being sold. :( 
Looks best with: Vintage outfits! Like high waisted shorts and maxi skirts
Why i like these: Because i wear a lot of vintage clothing. 
Note: these look really good for a muted look when you dont want a lot of attention going to your eyes, but yet you get an edge. So these are perfect for an exciting outfit. 


Thank you so much <3
