Sunglasses, finally!

Bought two pairs of Jackie O sunglasses at JC Penneys, while they were having fantastic sales. One pair is very similar to this one, minus the rhinestones.

Sigh. Retro is beautiful. (Unless if it's ugly-retro, which can still be pretty fantastic.) I know it's really cliche to go on and on about Jackie's taste in fashion, but isn't that why she's an icon? She personified the idea that clean, well-fitting garments (and accessories) pack a whole lot more punch than overly trendy, cluttered looks. Don't get me wrong, I love me some hippie-ish crochet and "world" fashion, and I appreciate certain layered looks a lot. But for my part, I try to buy relatively simple pieces that fit well without you really having to "fuss" with it in order to make it look right. Hence, my recent love of dresses - if you find the right one, you put it on and bam! you're done. My tastes have changed a lot over the years, that's for certain!
