Sunglasses.
I've always had pretty good luck with my sunglasses.
Meaning I rarely loose them or break them.
Well my luck with sunglasses has taken a turn for the worse.
Don't get me wrong, most sunglasses I had ended up broken,
but they lasted me a couple years at least -before they bit the dust.
I had been wearing a Walmart pair I loved....for a ridiculous 3-4 years I guess....
Well they broke.
"Fine" I said, I'll just take these with me to Walmart and find the most similar ones.
Well Walmart didn't have anything near similar, so I waited about 3 months.
(I broke them before December and didn't really seem to need them all winter!)
I trekked to TJ Maxx, my second source for cheapola sunglasses.
$12.99 Franco Sarto.
Not quite as cheap as my beloved $5 Walmart pair, but good enough.
Two weeks later (aka last Saturday) I was headed out of Big Lots, tried to put them on and they had broken in my purse during my shopping trip. How....beats me, they weren't even hung on anything when I pulled them out!
Well instead of buying another new pair....I'm resorting to my old, beat up, scuffed Ray Ban's.
(I stopped wearing them because they were scuffed, scratched, and not as cool as all the
BIG sunglasses I saw in college!)
But....
They've had extremely great luck.
They survived through my high school days. I intentionally bought them to wear when I was lifeguarding.
The only reason I did splurge for Ray Bans, was because looking into a pool's glare with regular sunglasses just didn't cut it. I had to see the people in the water, not just the glare on top! haha
The lenses are polarized, which helps cut the glare on the water.
They lasted through a night on a lifeguard chair stand during a bad storm.
We will see how my luck with sunglasses affects my Ray Bans....
