10th Commandment: June 10

Jun 10, 2013

By far and away, aviator sunglasses are my favorite.  They flatter most face shapes, and they’re nice and light.  I also like them because aviators fit into your wardrobe regardless of whether your style is preppy, glamorous or casual.

    I totally agree! And it’s true for both men and women. I had a guy friend once tell me that he thought he’d look dumb in them, and I was like “are you kidding me?” Then he put some on and looked like a total bad ass. Aviators ftw.

      Haha, I was the same way. I didn’t think I could pull them off but my BFF handed me a pair and said “Wear these. Would I ever lie to you?” So I went with her recommendation and have liked them ever since. I’m really picky about the lens shape though.

    How do you pick out a color for sunglasses? Especially if you’re cheap like me and only want to buy one pair for summer.

    • Belle says:

      Well, I thing black is too severe on most people. So if you want resin, I think brown is best. If you’re talking about aviators, I say go with a classic and choose the dark grey or dark brown lenses. Save the blue gradient or greenish color for someone else.

2013 Outfit Restyle: Bring the Tweed

The theme of 2013 was more is more. Wearing a bracelet? Wear five. Add a belt. Add a necklace, maybe two . . . make it three. So when I look at outfits from a decade ago, my first instinct is always: do less.
