I mean, almost all of us has a signature accessory, and if the Little Prince had his scarf as his signature accessory, mine was my huge shades. I am not a shades collector, but I just make sure that I have at least one pair.
I remembered the first time I bought a high-end branded piece, my very first shades. That was way back in first year in college, when our family went to Hong Kong. My mom and sister went all out in buying really bargain finds. Me? I spent almost all my HK trip allowance on Gucci shades. It was a classic huge framed Jackie-O piece, and the moment I wore them, I felt like a winner.
Well, that was the time when I was a student and I could afford almost everything I wanted. To change status as a working girl made a difference. Suddenly I started being conscious of my spending habits. Good thing i2i came to be, and their shades were nice yet affordable. All in all, I got to buy about 3 shades from i2i, including my last one.
The one thing I regret losing was the brown aviators I bought in H&M when I was in Norway. Those were really nice shades, one might think it was couture shades. I lost them in Changi Airport in Singapore… or was it in the airplane? *Sigh*
Now what’s left is the Chanel brown shades I bought in Malaysia. I like them, but oddly, not enough for me to wear them.
I went to Mango last weekend to check out their shades, and there were two that caught my eye. The first one had a nice fit on me, but they were an old rose kind of pink. Yeck. The second was an earthy greenish bug-eye, but my sister said that it’s too huge for my face. So I didn’t get to buy any.
But then again, all my shades were too huge for me…. Hmm…. Maybe I should go there again. Hopefully this weekend I will not leave the house un-shaded.
