Sunglasses on the Head.


Yesterday at work I watched as the following happened:

My assistant put her hair up in a ponytail.
My assistant reached for her purse.
My assistant pulled out a pair of sunglasses.
My assistant placed the sunglasses on her head.

No, she wasn't going anywhere. She had already eaten lunch. We were in for the day and we were working for at least another 5 hours. No sun. No glare. No UV rays in sight. No...my assistant was wearing her sunglasses on her head as part of her hairdo...and I was oddly offended.
Remember when I did that random post on cellphone headsets and I called the bluetooth out as possibly the most douchebaggy thing a person could wear on their head? Well turns out I may have been wrong.
Just like wearing sunglasses in a club at night makes you laughable, so does wearing them on your head indoors when you have no intention of going outside. Yes, I understand it when you're walking around outside, you walk into Starbucks to get a cup of coffee and the glasses go on your head (though I prefer the arm tucked in the front of the shirt method) - it's circumstantial, it's convenience, I get it. But otherwise, when circumstance and convenience are not concerned, I'd like to officially state my position on this matter right here and right now:

Sunglasses are not hair accessories - they are not to be worn indoors or at night**. If you need ideas on how to accessorize your head, please reference my previous post. If you're having a bad hair day and you think the sunglasses will help, hats or updos will do just fine. Get cheap ones, get expensive ones - get crazy ones or conservative ones. But for my well being and for the well being of my friends and loved ones (believe me, I surveyed them), please wear your sunglasses the way God and designers everywhere intended - on your face and covering your eyes.


'prece.

I don't like how sunglasses on the head look! Isn't fashion, I think that sunglasses are for the sun not for use on head!
