Remember when you were in Middle School and you went around wearing your jeans rolled. Maybe you aren’t that old. Let me explain….You take a handful of jean fabric at the bottom (inside of the leg – outside was for losers), vertically fold it over itself, then start rolling from the bottom. Instant style. (And surprisingly convenient if you were riding your bicycle later.)
Now that I think about it, we were just way early to the Skinny Jean party.
Anyway, I did that in Middle School, the rolling. AND I had bangs that started on the crown of my head and went forward, curled tightly against my forehead. AND I ASKED for braces. Asked for. As in, it was cool to have braces.
I also started telling jokes then. Like all.the.time.
Some I got from popsicle sticks. Some I made up myself. But most of them were just repeats of the same jokes going around the school. (Lots of “Yo Mamma”, which even then, I felt horrible for saying. But I did it anyway.)
Last week, I received this SWEET pair of Oakley Women TwentySix.2 Tortoise Sunglasses from Sunglasses Shop (in RECORD shipping time, I might add) and all I could think about was that Middle School joke….
My future’s so bright, I have to wear shades!
(Which I suppose isn’t really a joke at all, but more of a saying. I still think it’s funny. Mostly because it was TRUE.)
After I made that silly joke (in my head, then to Henry, then finally, to Travis), I started really examining the Oakley Sunglasses.
I don’t own expensive sunglasses, never have. I’m always fearful that I’ll lose them or have them stolen. But after getting this pair and wearing them around all week, I kind of want to get more. These aviators fit perfectly and don’t pinch your nose or right behind your ear like some other sunglasses do. They came in a white hardshell case, which is perfect for travel. They also provided me with a soft, fabric case, which doubles as a cloth to clean the glasses!
A HUGE thank you to Sunglasses Shop for giving me the chance to review these Oakleys! I absolutely love them!
