Title: New sunglasses.
Post by: ScaryTooth on Thursday, May 03, 2007, 06:45:21 PM
Bam! (http://oakley.com/pd/4265)

Picked these up earlier today. People always give me shit about paying for expensive sunglasses. But there is a difference between the shitty $10 pair, and the $140 pair.

I've been wearing a pair of Gatorz that ran me $120 for the past 3 years. It was time for some new ones. I'm loving them.

I can't handle expensive sunglasses, I'm way to hard on them.  Every expenseive pair I've ever owned I managed to break or loose within 6 months.

I'm pretty anal about my belongings, so I don't usually lose much.

I'm past Oakley now.  Not that yours aren't sweet and I'm glad you're into them.

It's all about Ray-Ban for me at this point.  I picked up these:

They are $130, but I got them for $65 during an associate 50% off sale.

I hate wearing glasses, because I look so badass in sunglasses and I can't wear them.

I rarely wear them.  If I do, they're cheap as fuck.  I hate expensive glasses.  One of the worst investments you could ever make, IMO, along with really expensive shoes.

I agree with the shoes. But I'm not so sure about glasses. I've bought cheap ones before and they are usually crap. They fall apart, or they are uncomfortable, they scratch easy, etc. The lenses on these rock, really nice tint to them, and they are extremely comfy.

Have to disagree.  A couple times in my life I owned expensive glasses, and none of them lasted a quarter as long as the cheap glasses I've had.  I have pairs I got for between five and twenty bucks that I've had for probably 10 years.  Some expensive glasses are nice, I just don't think they're worth the price.  Also, I think most sunglasses look really, really stupid.  Only ones I can deal with are very minimalist.  But I'm not the type to wear them a ton, so it's to be expected that my opinion will differ.

They are called Rx'able suns in the industry.  Prescription sunglasses.  You'd be surprised at what you can put a prescription in.

If you want, I might be able to send my last associate discount voucher for 50% off rx'able suns at any LensCrafters, Pearle Vision, Sears/Target/BJs/Macy's/Kmart Optical.  I can't promise that I'll be able to do that, but I think I can swing it.  Jennie somehow snagged 4 extra ones so they aren't all claimed yet.
