Stylish Sunnies on a Budget

I have a confession to make. While I consider myself to be a responsible adult, when it comes to sunglasses, I cannot be trusted. I lose them at the bottom of my purse only to be found scratched beyond repair, sit on them because I left them on the front seat of my car, or break them in half — because even though I know better, I continue to wear them on my head when I leave the bright sun and go inside. I refuse to purchase a pricey pair of shades because I know the fate of those poor sunglasses.

However, I love the look of a stylish sunnie, and I’ve made it my mission to find great-looking sunglasses that are super affordable. That means I can keep my eyes protected from the sun, feel cute in a great pair of sunnies, and not break the bank.
