Fashionable + Sun Protection = Win #SeeClearly

If you’ve been on the blog before, I’m pretty much wearing glasses in every single post that has my face in it because I’ve been wearing them since Grade 2 and contact lenses just makes me look like a human panda.

So one of the challenges I find is finding a pair of affordable sunglasses, which I usually only get once every four years or so with my company benefits. There is no point shelling out for a pair of $300 non prescription sunglasses because deep down I know I wouldn’t wear them enough. Clearly sent me two pairs of sunglasses that are fun and affordable!

The old school vibe with my Joseph Marc Geller sunglasses in Havana is a bit funky and out of my comfort zone, which is kind of fun! If I had them as regular prescriptions glasses I’d be like a kung-fu master; but as sunglasses, now I’m a cool kung-fu master. I also got to choose what kind of sunglasses lenses I want with them; I chose the Green Mirror Polarized lenses. Fashion wise, I’d wear this pair of glasses when going for a boho chic kind of outfit.

Here I am wearing the Derek Cardigan Ash-50 in Teal. The Ash-50 frames is a bit more ‘cutesy’ retro look and because I collect almost everything teal (though the frames also come in Navy or Plum,) these glasses were a no brainer for me. I got them with Grey Polarized lenses. I’ve been thinking of what outfit to complement these sunglasses, and of course the answer to that is MORE BLUE-GREEN shades (or anything in that colour range of mint/aqua,) such as my mint green lace top which is one of my favourite summer shirts.

Both of theses frames can also be regular prescription glasses (I wish I could pull them off daily!) It was hard to decide which frames I wanted as Clearly has a range of designer to exclusive designed brands, which two of them are featured here. A neat initiative is that for every pair of glasses purchased from Clearly, they will donate a pair to someone who needs glasses. Clearly has partnered with Essilor Vision Foundation and over 400,000 pairs of glasses were donated in 2017.
