They’re prescription or so you say and you didn’t think you’d be out this late and you need them and noone’s looking at you because everyone knows it means you’re invisible, they can see that, but they can’t see yooouuu
I still feel like I don’t need to always wear my glasses, but I did in fact fail my visual test for my drivers license renewal. I splurged on a pair of prescription sunglasses and I’ll never go back.
Only downside with these is that you can see my eyes and I can’t pretend to be mysterious.
I have a habit of keeping sunglasses on inside if I’m in a place with oppressive lighting or which is generally claustrophobic - on the tube it can be a godsend and I always always wear sunglasses at the airport. It’s calming and does really turn the volume down and if the mood strikes you can relish in how like Joan Didion you are - serenely detached yet observing and interested wherever you are.
But be warned people will assume you’re a diva and act accordingly so just be conscious of this and push the glasses back when you need to speak to someone.
There’s a lot to love about Certain Women, but Kristen Stewart using an unfurled napkin rollup to wipe off diner burger grease is the only part I actually ever talk about
