Cat Woman!



As a girl that has a day job of working in the sunglass section of a department store that shall remain nameless, I thought I would take this week to talk about a trend in sunglasses.  Yes, we all know that every year the Jackie O style, aviators, and the classic wayfarer are all popular styles.  But Spring/Summer/Fall 2012 it’s all about the cat eye.  I personally like this trend for fall better then summer.  During Summer I like a larger frame to keep the sensitive areas of my face shielded from the sun.  And yes, I said sunglasses for fall.  Sunglasses are an accessory that can be worn all year round! After all the sun does shine even when it’s snowing and sunglasses are the ultimate do not disturb sign, I especially like them on airplanes, or early morning coffee runs.  No make-up necessary just throw on your cat eye sunnies and you’re ready to go, they even add that mysterious look, the same that a smokey eye would give.  Now cat eye sunnies are perfect to hide a tired eye when your running an errand or meeting your mother for breakfast, but there are certain occasions where sunglasses are not appropriate.  Please properly do your make-up and take off the sunglasses for a job interview, work, school, or any other professional setting, I shouldn’t have to explain why this is a bad idea.  The “I wear my sunglasses at night” look is questionable.  You can get away with it for an evening dinner outside or some nightclubs, mainly in Miami, L.A., Toronto, and Europe for sure, but not so much in the Midwest (people tend to think your hiding your eyes because you’ve done something wrong).  There are many different styles of the cat eye sunglass, try them all until you find a pair that works for you, have fun with it.  Most importantly don’t let the sales person talk you into a certain style or color because it looks best on your face, buy what you want!  Sunglasses are supposed to be fun, especially this style!
