I always check the eyeglasses at thrift stores and once in a while come up with something interesting, but don't often wear them. I recently&nbsp;added a pair of Thierry Lasry multi-colored frames (bought with consignment credit) and these are actually what I have been using since. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-sunglasses-is-too-many-todays-new-additions#post-1256094 Tue, 20 May 2014 01:42:28 +0000 abc 1256094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a main pair and a very secondary pair. Funny I went to this strategy after finally spending more than $20 on a pair </p> <p>I used to buy a pair every few months at Tjmaxx but then i got a pair at the coach outlet. Most i had ever spent on sunglasses and wondered if it was worth it. Almost five years later and on the same pair I would say yes. Added a second pair but they rarely get use due to having the little nose bridge pads and being overall more fragile. </p> <p>Long winded answer to say if you can keep track of them don't worry about more expensive pairs or having more than one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-sunglasses-is-too-many-todays-new-additions#post-1255934 Mon, 19 May 2014 22:57:47 +0000 JAileen 1255934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have three pairs of Rx polarized sunglasses. I usually wear the Ray Ban wayfarers though. I don't wear regular glasses, but my prescription is for readers at the bottom of my sunglasses. Don't bother with any that aren't polarized. They're better for your eyes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-sunglasses-is-too-many-todays-new-additions#post-1253975 Sat, 17 May 2014 13:05:30 +0000 jackiec 1253975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm like Deborah and am a one sunglasses gal. I'm usually super happy with my $10 Joe Fresh sunglasses until I sit on them or lose them in the ocean....then onto the next pair. My DH, however, always buys designer. Last time he was picking up a pair there was a sale, so he picked me up some Pradas - so those are my go-to pair. I do like the idea of having a few, and if you're living inDubai I'm pretty sure you'll use them a lot!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-sunglasses-is-too-many-todays-new-additions#post-1253966 Sat, 17 May 2014 12:56:36 +0000 May 1253966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have 5 pairs: 3 are for every day wear depending on my outfit, 1 is for the pool/beach (it's my cheapest as I found in the past that some sunglasses do not mix well with seawater or chlorine),&nbsp;1 is for my active life (biking, running, etc.) they are&nbsp;great as they don't&nbsp;&nbsp;fall off no matter how hard I move my head. &nbsp;</p> <p>I love wearing sunglasses, beside it's great at preventing wrinkles around the eyes and forehead. &nbsp;All are UV protected &amp;&nbsp;polarized. &nbsp;</p> <p>Coco, that's too bad you lost the sunglasses. &nbsp;I was in the same situation once, and it made me much more careful with sunglasses. &nbsp;I even had someone took my Chanel case from my open top tote, thank goodness it was empty.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-sunglasses-is-too-many-todays-new-additions#post-1253941 Sat, 17 May 2014 11:45:15 +0000 viva 1253941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the idea of having a pair to wear in the ocean - that is briliiant! I have one pair of cheap sunglasses, that is it. Which is weird, because I am prone to migraines and really need to wear them. But I have lost expensive sunglasses and it really, really irked me, and I think it made me hesitant to invest in them ever again. Plus, I find it hard to find sunglasses I like. Anyway, you seem so skilled at finding sunglasses you love at really great price points! If I could do that, I know I would at least have a backup pair. Good for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-sunglasses-is-too-many-todays-new-additions#post-1253937 Sat, 17 May 2014 11:31:16 +0000 dustt 1253937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>4 pair of Ray Ban's for me - all polarized for the water - 2 styles - clubmasters and wayfarers each of the 2 styles in gold &amp; silver metal - boring I know but it works for me!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-sunglasses-is-too-many-todays-new-additions#post-1253916 Sat, 17 May 2014 08:11:21 +0000 Deborah 1253916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tend to be a one pair of sunglasses girl. It's one 'accessory' I dont feel the need to have in multiples, but if you enjoy them then there is no reason not to have a few different pairs.</p> <p>I have a pair of Chanel sunglasses and I love them. They are big and dramatic and probably more classic than my overall look but there is something about them:)</p> <p>Denise, how awful to loose such an expensive pair of glasses like that. I have had a few moments of extreme anxiety when my sunnies haven't been where I thought they were. I ended up buying a cream coloured soft glasses pouch for them so I can always find them amongst my sea of black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-sunglasses-is-too-many-todays-new-additions#post-1253909 Sat, 17 May 2014 07:24:34 +0000 CocoLion 1253909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't get over that you got the folding Ray Bans for $75. &nbsp;I ordered them off Shopbop last year for $250 I think. &nbsp;I returned them, sadly, because they looked terrible on me. &nbsp;But I was so into the concept. &nbsp;Also I am afraid of expensive sunglasses.</p> <p>I have one nice pair of sunglasses (Ray Bans) that my boyfriend gave me but I rarely wear them for fear of loss. &nbsp;Then I have maybe 5 pairs of super cheap ones, like the $5 kind you get at H&amp;M. &nbsp;They're sort of lying in different places, in my car, on my dresser, in different purses. &nbsp;The cheap ones usually hurt my face and eyes but when I leave them somewhere I am not heartbroken. &nbsp;</p> <p>This cheap sunglass strategy started when I left a pair of $500 Oliver Peoples sunglasses in a fancy restaurant bathroom for around 5 minutes, went back and they were gone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-sunglasses-is-too-many-todays-new-additions#post-1253905 Sat, 17 May 2014 06:52:53 +0000 Ornella 1253905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I struck the right ones, all the others just dropped off my radar.

I wear one pair until I misplace it and move to the next. By the time I'm on the 6th, the first have reappeared... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-sunglasses-is-too-many-todays-new-additions#post-1253801 Sat, 17 May 2014 03:29:07 +0000 Laura J 1253801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm trying to downsize most everything - my clothes, shoes, purses, makeup. &nbsp;I wanted to limit myself to have three sunglasses, all polarized. &nbsp;I've been searching to find my favorite sunglasses for two months. &nbsp;I'm 98% sure I'm moving to Dubia in two months. &nbsp;I live near the beach in NJ in the mean time. &nbsp;I plan to travel a lot in the next year. &nbsp;</p> <p>First I found the Kate Spade finola's below, at Nordstrom Rack. &nbsp;They fit well, are polarized and I think they go well with my dressier clothes. They were $59.97 at Nordstrom Rack - it's always worth checking there for sunglasses I think! &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>My second find where these Tommy Bahama ones at TJ Max. &nbsp;They are polarized. &nbsp;I might paint over the gold. &nbsp;I hate the gold on the side of them and they were really cheap - $15 or so. &nbsp;These will be the ones I wear in the ocean when I'm on vacation. &nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.tanga.com/deals/f06808c4cb45/tommy-bahama-solid-polarized-sunglasses-sunseaker-brown#close-facebox">https://www.tanga.com/deals/f0.....-brown#clo</a></p> <p>The third and fourth pairs I found today. &nbsp;The first I found at Nordstrom Rack - the Crimson Visual Fletcher black and tan. &nbsp;They are polarized. &nbsp; They are acetate but really look and feel like wood. &nbsp;I think they'll be very cute for the beach. &nbsp;They were $27, not a huge discount but every dollar helps. &nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.crimsonvisual.com/#!product/prd1/1157286331/fletcher-black-%26-tan">http://www.crimsonvisual.com/#.....ck-%26-tan</a></p> <p>Then I went to Sax's off 5th and found the Ray ban folding wayfarer's I didn't think would fit. &nbsp;I saw this online and wanted to get the polarized version but they were pricy. &nbsp;I have a small cross body purse I use a lot and thought these would be great for it. &nbsp;They are! &nbsp;But these aren't polarized... &nbsp;They fit, I think they are fun, and will be good for the beach. &nbsp;I've never had mirrored sunglasses and green isn't really my thing, but they are fun. &nbsp;They were down to $75 at Sax off 5th so I grabbed them - even though it broke my all polarized rule and over my limit of 3 sunglasses. &nbsp;</p>
