What is it with women and Designer Sunglasses

I believe women are more fashion conscious than men and am not saying men are not, am simply saying that if a poll were taken, we will discover that women care a lot about their appearance, maybe so as to attract the opposite sex and sometimes to boost their morale and self esteem.

Some women are obsessed with designer fashion and accessories and i believe i am one of those women. I don't know what it is but i will rather make a one time purchase of a fashion piece that i will feel good about wearing especially accessories. That is not to say however, that everything i own has to be a designer brand but there some things that i cannot make exception to.

Some people could get away with just walking into a store and purchasing a pair of sunglasses that look gorgeous and neat and expect that no one would notice. They believe that the ulterior need is for one to protect their eyes from the damaging effects of the sun ray and sometimes to enhance clearer vision (especially while driving).

Lame as it might sound, I am not one of those women. I cannot bring myself to wear a piece of sunglasses that does not have a name brand attached to it. I will not even catch myself thinking about anything less that class when it comes to accessorizing with sunglasses. I have quite an impressive collection of those and can't seem to stop myself from buying more. I give some away to family and some friends that i know will appreciate its value so that i can make room to buy another one.

What is it with women and "designer" sunglasses, i ask?

I am posting a picture of some of my favorites that i currently own or have owned in the past and am sure most of you will find them appealing. For those women who think a sunglasses should just perform its basic function and do not care if it is classy or not, i want you to think of this when next you are making a purchase. Like my husband would always say "if you buy cheap, you buy twice". Well, that's always his excuse when he is about to buy something that he knows i might not willingly go along and a darn good one at that.

I am now a believer that once you want to buy something that you will wear, it is always advisable to consider class, quality and durability and align that with "price" so that you do not go overboard. I mean some purchases in my book are quite outrageous and insane because i know there are plenty other uses that one could do with that money in today's society that would give one personal inner joy. Something as simple and easy as "giving" to the less privileged in the society can bring you so much joy and happiness.

But i would say "hey" if you can afford it, then go for it, "you only live once" and " you only have once to make an impact". Have fun while splurging a little but remember, do not go overboard with it because it then becomes an obsession and i do not advice one becomes obsessed with anything because we would consider that an addiction.

Am i addicted to sunglasses??......... or is it normal?.........
