re: How many pair of sunglasses do you own?

That may be the case for me later on.

I couldn't imagine spending more than $20 on something like that, though.

Things I have learned in life:
1. Don't cheap out on sunglasses if you're outside a lot.
2. Don't cheap out on shoes. Buy comfortable shoes.

I am on my feet and outside about 12 hours a day so I spend about 200 per pair of boots a few times a year for work and I do concrete. I buy good sunglasses as often as I need to and buying Costa or Maui Jims, they are easy to send off and get new lenses put in or fixed.

Yea too bad that Oakley's, Ray Ban's, and Dolce and Gabbana are all made in the same factory that makes the ones that sell in target.

I've bought numerous Target sunglasses as well. My D&G ones have lasted much longer than the Target ones though. I never pay full price for them though. Always buy them on sale. It's not so much that I'm a label whore for sunglasses....just that the D&G ones(I have 3 of the exact style...different colors) fit my face perfectly and are the most comfortable out of all the ones I've bought.


My comment was mainly that you really need decent sunglasses out here to protect your eyes. Sun out here can be brutal and will wreck havoc on your eyes(and contribute to more wrinkles in your face around your eyes) if you aren't wearing sunglasses. I've found that polarized lenses(whether el cheapos or the more expensive ones) work the best for me.
