Sunnies for Spring + Summer

Hello gals and guys! Hope everyone is bundling up this Spring. I had high hopes for this Spring but I am still freezing and today is especially windy. Let's hope I get over the flu this weekend. On to other things, HELLO!!! Sunglasses,Stunnas,Sunnies,Shades whatever you may call it is a great accessory for an outfit, sometimes it just takes the right pair of sunnies to pull the outfit together. Here are a couple of stylish Sunnies for a girl on a budget!

The first pair starts at $2.99, stylish yet nicely priced

I love this pair at $5.80, fierce and stylish! I envision this with a nice pastel colored top and white shorts or jeans, YES!

I think these retro sunnies are going to be hot for the spring/summer season. Very popular and average price at $24.Not bad!

Mirrored aviators have been popular among fashionistas, I have seen it on bloggers everywhere! This pair goes for a cool $17.

This cat eye like sunnies is such a lovely color combo, have a pair just like these! This pair goes for $22.

This reminds me of sunglasses I used to see in the early 90s videos. I am happy this circular style is back. Again very popular right now, I tried a pair on like these before, unfortunately not for me but it is stylish. Bringing back the 90s at $24.

Love these round sunglasses, definitely different and it looks like these were made for you to stand out. Aren't these prefect for Coachella Fest? $18.

Now ever since NYFW. I saw on street style blogs someone wearing snow googles and ever since that, outrageously cool sunnies have been appealing to me! What do you think? $20.

If you don't want to be as outrageous, these are just right for a dress down outfit and throw a pair on that can go with anything.

Lastly is this pair which I am so inspired to wear for this upcoming Spring/Summer season. It reminds me of  something Starsky (from Starsky and Hutch) would wear. I can see myself pairing these with a sundress and boots! $18.

Thanks for checking me out.
