I’m the type of girl who buys her sunglasses at Target and will never put them in a case, even if they are from the more expensive $24.99 turny thing. I will toss them in my bag, pulling them out bent and with a layer of goldfish cracker dust over the lenses until they break.
I will always be this girl.
What kind are you?
I’m the kind of girl who will IMMEDIATELY sit on or lose or run over a pair of expensive designer sunglasses… but will somehow perfectly maintain for upwards of a year a cheapie pair from Wal-Mart.
My mom is this type of girl. She even lost a pair of cheapies in the ocean and had them wash back up on shore.
I am that girl who collects sunglasses and leaves them all over. In my purse, in my car or wherever they land.
Target and Old Navy keep me stocked up..
I’m this girl as well. I collect sunglasses like crazy and leave them everywhere. Right now, I have pair sitting at a friend’s house and at my grandmother’s. Good thing I have about 8 more pairs at home.
I am the girl who will never iron anything ever, so will inevitably always look slightly crumpled, but hey, think of all the great things I’ve done with the time I saved ironing… Oh wait, I just played Candy Crush on my phone and was still late for work. #EmployeeOfTheMonth
We’re sisters. I don’t even own an iron.
We have one but it is downstairs and all my clothes are upstairs… Its a logistical nightmare!
I’ve been known to use my hair straightener to iron out wrinkles from my work shirts. Can we all say, “professional”!
I spent an hour ironing a button down shirt with my flat iron because it was “easier” than pulling out the ironing board and iron. It looked damn fine when I was finished!
I so do this! So much easier being I just straightened my hair with it so its already hot (:
That is freaking genius!
Iron? No…. I use the “wrinkle free” mode on the dryer. I’m fancy.
Dryer Ironing FTW!!
I am the girl who owns 37 pair of sunglasses. They are almost all scratched…and I don’t own a single protective case. And I’ll buy more before my tropical trip in 15 days. Can’t wear scratched lenses in St. Thomas. (But I will probably bring scratched lenses HOME from St. Thomas.)
I’m the kind of girl who had to break down and buy $200 ray-bans due to migraines and I still don’t even put them in a case. They now have a cracked lens but I am to cheap to replace them since it doesn’t impair my vision.
I am that type of girl too! HIGH FIVE
I have worn the same pair of 19.99 (on sale for 17.99) target sunglasses for the last 13 years….
I’m the girl that puts them right in the case as soon as they come off my face. This is ONLY because they are prescription sunglasses and if I break or lose them, I have no sunglasses. Now, if and when I do LASIK, I am all over the cheap sunglasses. They will be on my dashboard, thrown in my purse, covered in fingerprints from the two kids playing with them, or lost. So, I’m only anal about my current shades because I can’t afford to replace them.
Heh.. I said anal. ;)
Do Lasik! Its life changing!
The week before I got Lasik I went sunglass shopping, that was my treat for myself. I was so tired of being stuck with the one style of my prescription shades and was so stoked to get something new. Best decision ever made! DO IT!
I’m the type that buys the 2 for $5 “designer” sunglasses at the mall kiosk. I throw them in the console of my truck, wear whichever ones I dig out first, and then replace them with the same deal when I can’t find either. This last pair has lasted me almost a year!
My husband on the other hand…$200 Ray-bans or something equally expensive. Preciously preserved in their case with their own cleaning cloth.
I’m the girl who wears my broken sunglasses to the point where one side is detached, but I still put it over my ear and then I scare the drive thru lady at Starbucks when they pop off my face… and then I put them back on. Because they’re otherwise the cutest glasses I’ve ever had and I’m too lazy to go buy new ones.
I’m the type of girl who locks her keys in her car
on such a regular basis, that the locksmith recognizes
her and gives her a discount. And who still hasn’t gotten a
spare.
I wear perscription glasses as well, and know to try and treat them a bit better so I always have a glasses case in my purse that holds my sunglasses till I need them. So I am not THAT girl though I used to be!!
I’m the type of girl who has vowed never to buy sunglasses over $24.99 ever again! I have 2 pair in the truck, 1 at the foyer, 2 in the office, 4 hanging in the bedroom. No cases for any of them. I toss them around, kinda-sorta step on them by accident, have the nephews play with them. All I care is that they’re big, black, no bling, no logos.
I’m the kind of girl who gets my kids clean close out of the dryer instead of the drawer because I hate folding laundry.
I’m the girl who eyes up the Diors and Kate Spades in Neimans and then buys glasses at Target, because I’m totally you sans the goldfish crackers.
I never buy sunglasses over $10 because I always lose them or scratch. I DO have a protective case, but it is empty because I always forget to put the sunglasses in the case. Some of cutest ones I’ve bought have been fro the Dollar Tree!
Cheap sunglasses, usually tangled in my hair, breaks easily, and then I’ll spend several weeks bitching because I can’t be bothered to stop and spend 5 minutes trying to replace them.
I’m the girl who spent 50.00 on a pair of sunglasses and lets her 10 month old play with (destroy) them because what baby wants? Baby gets. For now at least.
mine ALWAYS have scratches on them, even the $24.99 ones, because I also just throw them wherever.
I don’t use a case, even when I buy the expensive ones. That’s one too many steps between my face and my purse.
I’m the kind of girl who even though I paid .99 for a shirt, I treat it like I paid $50. My very expensive Maui Jim’s always go in my cloth bag case before throwing them in my purse and they STILL have scratches on them.
Now I want to listen to LL Cool J!
Nelly- I’m right there with you on ironing…and candy crush! Stupid game!!!
First, I love you.
Second, I am the kind of girl who will spend lots of bucks on a pair of pants or shoes or bags but will not spend more than $5 on shampo. I. Just. Can’t.Do.It.
ps. you are fancy! I only buy the 16.99 ones and then bitch about spending $16.99 on sunglasses at the Target.
I’m the girl who bought 10 pairs for $19.99 through some deal site and yet never has a pair when she needs them, married to the grandpa who wears those big dorky over glasses sunglasses like blind people. Yeah! We are THAT couple.
*shampoo
Shampo is French. :)
I found a pair of sunglasses at TJ Maxx 2.5 years ago – I fell in love with them because of their shape and solid feel (while I can wear pretty much any hat, sunglasses seem to be another story for me for some strange reason) and decided to splurge on them since they were $24.99. Then I noticed (squee!) they were Cole Haan. So, into my tattered, beat to shit case they went.
I knew the finance commitee (aka: my husband) would have freaked out if he knew that I spent that much on them since his costs about $4 a pair. However, I’ve realized that he goes through 4-5 pair per summer, so I no longer feel bad.
If they ever break or if I loose them, I won’t be able to go out in the sun, like ever again.
….I’m that type of girl who does what makes ME happy….selfish, yes….but if I’m not happy, I can’t bring joy to others….you rock and I’m glad to call you “friend”….
I’m the girl who uses her insurance to get sunglasses over prescription glasses just so I can get the expensive designer pair!!
I am the girl who has to rush to find some pants to put on if the doorbell rings unexpectedly in summer weather. In winter weather I will open the door in pj pants, no matter what the time of day (and the only reason I have them on is because I am too broke to run the heater all day!)
I’m the kind of girl who has purchased four pairs of $2.00 gloves and three umbrellas since Christmas because I continually forget them but always remembers to have cash on hand to buy an emergency Diet Coke.
Yep! Except I buy mine at Marshals so I get the $25 ones for $6. :)
I too am this type of girl. I would have to charlie horse myself if I did damage to a pair of $250 sunglasses. Thanks but, no thanks.
I’m the type of girl who will buy packets of Chapstick even if I have thousands at home. I have to buy a few every time I go a grocery store/ convenience store/ Walmart / anywhere that sells them.
wow, i’m totally the loner here. i’m the girl who shells out $400 on the special edition, hd polarized oakleys that come in the oober protective and fabulous case. i keep them in the case unless they’re on my face; i clean them every other day with special spray and cloths for maximum vision quality; i don’t cry over scratches because “no. just no”; i never walk out of doors without them on my face because my eyes are hyper sensitive to sunlight now; i have a $400 pair for my car, my boyfriend’s car, my desk at work, and my handbag… just in case… yeah. this post and the comment feed hurt me inside. ladies, i know the trendy $5 pair are fun, but the lenses in the expensive pair are sooooo much better for your eyes. i’m happy to enjoy them in the corner alone here, but i mean it when i say “y’all have no idea what you’re missing”. *smooches*
I’m the kinda girl who owns four pairs of converse all-stars in three different colors. I’m also the kind of girl who owns a t-shirt from Target in every color available (11 colors and patterns so far).
TOTALLY! When I find something I like I get it in all the colors. When I find shoes I like I try to buy a second pair for backup.
I found an open cardigan at Target a few weeks ago that has sleeves like down to your elbow and it is long so it covers my ass in leggings and super comfy. Anyway I went back last night and got it in black (original is in purple) and I fully intend to buy it again in another color every time I go to target until I have them all I love it that much. I do that all the time. *she blushes*
I’m the type of girl that wishes I could buy perscription strength sunglasses, but they’re too expensive to replace every year like my glasses so I always look at the over-the-glasses sunglasses and wish they looked better. Then end up never having any sunglasses at all and being, “Blinded by the Light.”
I splurged on a pair at Marshall’s for $24.99 after years of Target $10 ones. Love them all equally tho… But I fix buy a case. And they’re always sitting on the empty passenger seat. Then when we leave as a family I put them on. Lol. Case-schmase. I tried. Busy momma doesn’t rely have time.
Yep, I’m that kind of girl. And I’m the kind of girl that when gifted a really expensive pair of sunglasses, leaves them in the case and opts to wear the bent Target sunglasses. Because once they come out of the case, they will never return. And if I pop that cherry, then there is a chance that I will end up diving to the bottom of the lake over and over again in search of the expensive pair of sunglasses that did not stay on my face when I was trying to prove that I can still do a handstand under water. (and only underwater, I might add)
I’m the kind of girl that could win the lottery and still shop at TJ Maxx ,cause why pay $50 for a shirt I can get for $16.
Also, I won’t spend more than $10 on sunglasses, but I’ll buy 5 pairs of running shoes at $110 plus a pair. Oh, and ballroom shoes. Love ballroom shoes.
Am I the only person buying sunglasses at the dollar store?? I usually find a “nice” pair and buy 5 at a time.
I’m the kind of girl who will walk down to the basement and throw a shirt (or pants) into the dryer (again) for 5-10 minutes because I am too lazy to take 5-10 minutes to iron them.
I am the girl in the old navy jeans, ralph lauren boots, and the 1 pound ($1.65) sunglasses from primark I have kept safe for the past year.
I’m the type of girl who can never find her sunglasses, but can tell you right where to find the receipt for the PSP we bought 3 years ago. The type of girl that slathers the kids with sunscreen, puts on their sun hats and THEIR sunglasses, but not mine. What am I talking about…I’m the type of girl with five kids…I don’t have time to go outside! I’ve got stuff to do.
I’m the type of girl that wears Locs (very white girl with cholo shades), can not go outside without them and uses them as a head band while indoors. Plus, I get incredibly pissed when they have gone missing.
I also pull my Target sunglasses from their spot in my purse nestled against car keys and open safety pins and other scratchy things and why would anybody take the time to pull them in and out of a case?? Also, I do like to wear clothes in which I can create my own waste and have two hangers full of wide default belts so it’s entirely possible that we are twins separated at birth and you got the better hair. I’m pretty sure people call me “belt lady” behind my back just like I referred to someone the other day as “chin hairs” but only because I didn’t know his/her name.
I’m the type who wears my sunglasses over my actual glasses. I’m too grossed out by the idea of putting things onto my eyeball for contacts, and I only wear my glasses for driving. So you’ll see me in the car, singly wildly to whatever trash-ass Katy Perry song is blasting on the radio; with not 4, but 6 eyes. All the way cute.
I am your kind of girl. :)
I’m the girl who SELLS the expensive glasses, and still doesn’t put them in a case before tossing them in my handbag. (I’m also the girl that wears them on top of my head indoors, and then glares at customers who whine that their frames are loose because they wear them like that too.)
I also am the girl who stares at all the little tubs and bottles and creams at Sephora in wonderment, because I clearly missed school the day we covered this part of girly-ness.
I’m the girl who is afraid to go INTO Sephora because I missed that day too. sigh.
I dont even wear sunglasses bc they annoy me, plus would nee prescriptions… and also never spend any cash on shoes – but toss a ton on music, concerts and movies. And Apple products.
Pretty much the same girl…but I think that I got mine from CVS.
