Some people have a soft (expensive) spot for handbags or
shoes, but my addiction is one far more practical. Sunglasses. I’ve always
justified my sunny collection on the fact that sunglasses have an SPF. That
African sun, plus direct iris action, equals disaster. Sunglasses are
essential, whereas handbags give you back problems and heels give you bunions
(eew). So really when you look at it, sunglasses are more of an… um…
investment. Yeah. Investment.
Someone recently asked me how many pairs of sunnies I have.
‘Good question’ was my reply. Staring at my string of multi-coloured eye
protection I can’t help but wonder exactly how many pairs of sunnies I have!
Its photo time! The sunglasses count is on and I get to
build a catalogue as I go…score!
Okay, so I have 41 pairs photographed. 1 pair is missing, 4
pairs are broken, Melissa still has 1 pair of mine… oh and there’s a pair in my
mom’s car. So that makes 48 pairs. Well that’s not half bad. *Cringe*.
Hi, my name is Dalene and I’m addicted to buying and wearing
sunglasses. In other news, my optometrist tells me that I have 20/20
vision.
I think this is a good example of the statement ‘We are what
we do’. I am a person with good vision as a result of me wearing sunglasses all
the time. Now that’s what I call a win-win situation!
So what have I learned today?
1. Don’t take a deep breath after sipping on Cointreau.
2. My hair is longer on one side than it is on the other.
3. We are what we do.
