In the tradition of men.style.com's 10 Essential Things featurette, I decided to make my own. (Partly, I also needed to get into the routine of posting at my blog! It's been neglected for way too long a time.) Note that this is not a 10 Must-Haves list, instead it's a compilation of things, fashion-wise that I personally like.
1. Dior Punk Sunglasses
This fantastic pair of sunglasses were my first (and currently, only) eBay purchase. Unveiled in the Spring 2003 Womenswear collection (yeah, women's—will elaborate in a second), it's a wraparound-style sunglass with a severe rectangular shape. But curiously, it complemented my round face perfectly—matter of fact, no one else on my circle of friends wore it with the same, shall we say, stylin' attitude that I do to it. And I also get compliments. I got the basic black one, just so I'm safe. Had I been extra flush then, I would've bought the red-framed one too.
My thing with sunglasses is, if it fits you, look past the gender it's meant for. Many men's sunglasses are aviator-style, and they look horrible on me. And I mean horrible. Just be careful not to get a pair that's too small for your face—a common style with women's sunglasses—or you'll look even more plump.
Purchased for $99 on eBay.
