yay or nay: reflective sunglasses.

Last summer, I felt like the clock turned back to 1990 when reflective sunglasses were all the rage. I remember my dad telling me I wasn't allowed to have them because he couldn't see my eyes. My dreams were dashed until 1995, when those shiny sunnies disappeared from the scene. Last summer, I noticed reflective shades were making a valiant return...

So, is this trend staying around long enough to make an investment in my own pair of reflective sunglasses? Or is it best to stick with the $10 pair? I defer to you, stylish readers! I'll see you back here for some pastel-filled Friday's Fancies at midnight! Have a great Thursday :)  xoxo {av}

    AV, I'm the senior copywriter for Sunglass Hut, and I can assure you, investing in a good pair of sunglasses (preferably with polarized lenses) is a must. The benefits to your eyes is SO worth it! Just as you protect your skin (and I love you for that!), it's imperative that you protect your eyes from harmful UV rays. And, if you had any doubts about the mirrored trend... http://www.sunglasshut.com/us/trends/SP13Mirrored

    I have a pair of vintage reflective sunglasses from my mom, and I love them! I think they're so funky and add something extra to my outfits :D

    I think these are so cool, but I'm not sure if I'm "rockstar" enough to pull them off!

    I wouldn't wear them, but I think they look good on some other people! I stick to cheap sunglasses since they break and get scratched or lost so easily!

    I think reflective lenses are the ultimate in "cool". Think about reflective aviators-- what could possibly be cooler? I am into the trend for sure! (Even though I wear my basic Ray-Ban's every day of my life...)

    I think they can be really cute, but if I get some they'll definitely be a cheap pair since they are a very trendy style...actually what am I saying, I pretty much always buy cheap sunglasses because I am forever breaking or losing every pair of sunglasses I get, ha! xo

    I think I would go with a more lower end. I love the look but I feel like they are pretty harsh for everyday wear. Best to stick with a cheaper pair you won't feel sad doesn't get tons of wear.
