I’ve never understood the fascination with buying expensive sunglasses. Unless you lead an active, outdoorsy lifestyle/have a job that requires spending a lot of time outdoors during the daytime/have a medical need, I see no real need to spend hundred of dollars on plastic that shades your eyes. Fortunately, I have none of the aforementioned conditions and realistically, I’m lucky if I spend 30 minutes of my day in actual sunshine. So it was with real joy that I discovered the sunglass rack at the Dollar Store. It is especially fortuitous as I seem to have a habit of losing sunglasses to water. My first pair of dollar store sunglasses floated away in a Lake Oroville inlet, but was retrieved by gracious strangers, and my second pair was lost to the fish pond of a very lovely couple that had agreed to adopt the goldfish I used in a floral foyer display (Flora y Fauna, I call it (the display, not the sunglasses); see it on Pinterest here).
And I am wearing these sunglasses at night.
Because I can.
Sunglasses found at Dollar Tree, 2485 Notre Dame Blvd # 480 Chico, CA 95928
