White Sunglasses

When my sister and niece visited Atlanta for Thanksgiving last year, my niece found a pair of white sunglasses that didn't belong to Justin or me. She fell in love with them and asked if she could have them. I really wanted to give them to her, but they weren't mine to give so I told her she couldn't have them. Justin asked the owner about them and he said they were purchased at a second hand shop to go with a Halloween costume.

I decided I was going to try to find a pair for my niece for Christmas. I searched all over Atlanta for a pair but didn't find a single pair of white sunglasses. Close to Christmas, we visited Filene's Basement and I got very lucky! I found a pair of white sunglasses that were nearly identical to the pair at my house.

The sunglasses from Filene's are on the left and the original ones are on the right:

With the exception of the lens color, they are basically the same! When she opened them on Christmas, my niece said she loved them and immediately put them on top of her head. Yay Justin and me! The owner of the original ones said that we could give them to my niece if we didn't find a pair. That was really nice of him, but I'm glad we found a pair. After a while, it became my goal to find the one pair of white sunglasses in Atlanta.

And I did.
