Splure or Steal // Tortoise Sunnies



I've been spotting these gorgeous Miu Miu sunglasses all over the blog-o-sphere lately, and I have to admit: when a trend becomes supersaturated, it makes it WAY easier for me to resist splurging on the style for myself.  That's why when I saw a nearly-identical pair on ASOS last week, I realized that spending a tiny fraction of the cost would make me much less concerned about tiring of the trend too quickly.

*** Update: It looks like the Asos pair have already sold out!!! I've tried to find a few other shop-able options for you (though none came in quite as inexpensive) but here are the links: American Apparel - $45, Sabre - $90, and Elizabeth & James - $185. ***

I'd love to know: when it comes to sunglasses, do you typically opt for the splurge or the steal?

  1. I've seen these types of sunnies everywhere and LOVE them but never found ones for a reasonable price.. until your post! Thanks for doing this.. I might have to buy the ASOS ones now :)

  2. I usually opt for the steal as I'm always breaking/losing my sunnies. If I do splurge on a pair then it's going to be a classic style that I can always wear. I'm loving those ASOS ones, may need to make a trip to their site, haha! :)

  3. When it comes to sunnies- I always opt for the steal. I'd be too afraid to wear $400 sunglasses because I'd probably just scratch, break, or lose them.

    Though I have been lusting after the glitter versions of those Miu Mius...

  5. I agree...once it's become so poplular it's practically a uniform for everyone, it lessens the wow-factor for me. Spending less makes it okay! Thanks for sharing!!!!

  6. I just splurged on a pair of classic Ray Bans but I usually do cheapie cheaps because I loose them so easily. Keep your fingers crossed that I keep the Ray Bans!
