My Favorite Accessory (and Giveaway!)
When I was eleven or twelve, I bought a pair of sunglasses. I was sure I was the coolest looking person alive, except that I could never ever remember to wear them.
I clearly recall thinking, “How do grown-ups remember to put these on when they go outside?!”
Now, I’m an adult living in a very very sunny location, and I am completely dependent on my sunglasses. I do not leave home without them. I don’t walk to the mailbox without them. I absolutely do not drive without them.
I’ve gone through about five or six pairs since we moved to Texas in 2006. My last pair I dropped so many times that they no longer fit on my face very well at all, but because I am so ridiculously cheap, I couldn’t bring myself to buy a new pair when, technically, this pair still worked (albeit while making me look like my face was very crooked).
Then, somehow, I lost that pair and I moved on to the equally poor solution of using Bart’s which only stayed on my face if I kept my head tilted back a little. Also, I would usually forget to take them off until I got in the house and then he’d go to drive the car and wonder where his glasses were. He really liked this solution, I think.
Then Firmoo sent me a new pair of sunglasses, and Bart rejoiced.
I was a little nervous about them because I have a hard time finding glasses that don’t just eat my tiny face alive, but these ones are the perfect size. They aren’t too enormous, they stay on my face, and I feel much more glamorous walking around with a tricycle and two small children than I deserve to. I’ve just had to relearn how to drive without my head tilted backward.
My main complaint is that a brand-new pair verified for me that my face is, indeed, very slightly crooked. I liked it better when I could blame it on having dropped my sunglasses one too many times. Other than that, I love these sunglasses more than any pair I’ve ever owned (even the Beatles-esque oval ones I bought when I was eleven).
In fact, I love them so much, I’ve finally overcome my laziness and actually put these back in the case every time I’m done wearing them so they won’t get scratched, bent, or otherwise meet the fate all my other sunglasses have met.
I love the #CP6074. Maybe if I won I would actually start wearing sunglasses instead of squinting into the sun like some kind of vampire.
Oh man, they look SO GOOD ON YOU! Hooray for not having to "borrow" Bart's glasses anymore.
Living in Seattle I've become a sort of mole-person when the sun comes out. I can't take any sun. Seriously. Even my kids are like "TOO MUCH SUN" and wear sunglasses without any issues about keeping them on. So having a nice pair of sunglasses is très importante.
After probably too much looking around the Firmoo site I have to admit I like the glasses you got, OTO3574, the best. In tortoise, of course. Tortoise always adds class to sunglasses.
Definitely need these in my life: http://www.firmoo.com/prescription-sunglasses-p-2186.html
I would choose one of the new Wraparound pairs. Thanks for the giveaway!! (mer.marty@yahoo.com)
There is something unusually fun and chic about style LYST6017…Love that pop of orange color!!
I would love the #OTO3549 in orange. I would also love an excuse to buy a new swimsuit to match! thepieperlife@gmail.com
This is going to sound totally dorky, but I would love to get a pair of nonprescription glasses, just for fun. The unisex full frame plastic eye glasses in matte black are calling my name.
I would love the same ones you are wearing! Adorable!

Prescription sunglasses! ( #SD2266 ) I would be able to see AND not be blinded by the sun. That sounds AH-mazing.

These white ones, most definitely: http://www.firmoo.com/prescription-sunglasses-p-2186.html. Awesome giveaway! I haven't yet jumped on the Firmoo bandwagon, but everybody says such good things about them that it's getting tempting.
I'd pick #OTO3570 in black probably. I'm the same way, I go through sunglasses so quickly!
