I try to get away with wearing shades all year round, they not only hide my tired eyes but sunglasses are such a fabulous style statement.Spring is near and the sun is out almost daily meaning sunglasses are definitely in. I was rummaging through my collection (I have a fair few as I treat myself to a new pair every year) and found these shades by Valentino.
Now this is where you all come in, I just can't make my mind up about them. From first glance they look like nice, simple, black aviator-esque sunglasses but when on I feel like I'm wearing lab goggles or some kind of visor.
Yes, the jewelled detail on the arm is gorgeous but take a look at the photos below to help me decide whether to don or ditch them.
From the side! Oh yes and I've returned to my regular blonde and I have to say I'm loving it. I enjoyed being a more natural blonde and did pull it off for around six months but I just felt a little drab and dull some days so decided to go back to my roots, peroxide ones!
So what to do ladies? Stick them on EBay or keep them for another sunny day? I really would appreciate your opinions style conscious ladies as I'm in a pickle, I want to love them but just feel a little odd wearing them.xx

Although they're gorgeous I think they're too big for your face, stick them on ebay and go shopping!
l really dont like them, but then I hate Aviators so what do I know?
xoxox
@Laura - yeh they feel huge i just fell for the diamante detail!!
@Marcia - umm i dont usually like them either but i fell for the jewels!x
They remind me of skiing goggles :/ x
I like them but if you don't feel comfortable in them then I would sell them and replace them with a pair you do, no point keeping them if you aren't 100% xx
I LOVE big sunglasses but I think these are a little too big- they remind me of ski goggles!x
The jewels are really pretty but I think all in all they are a big too big :/
@cheated hearts and daisy - haha yeh they do look like ski goggles i may save them for skiing if i ever go again!x
@Sarah - true I feel so self conscious in them!nhot worth it!x
I'm not too keen, they look too big for your face, gimmicky. Your hair looks nice :) x
I actually like them. But, if you know you're going to feel self conscious wearing them, then you might as well make some cash off of them and buy new ones :)
I love valentino... if the glass had a slimmer trim i don't think they would have looked like goggles... i'd say sell them and get yourself a sexy brand new pair for this season! :)
The sparkles are really pretty, but I think they're quite bulky. You've got delicate features and these really swap them. I think you should get rid and get something different, there's loads out there at the mo.
I got myself a cute pair from M&S of all places (with zebra detail on the sides, which I LOVE) and they were only about £15.
I pretty much agree with everyone else. Lol.
I think they look cute from the side but from the front they overshadow the rest of your gorgeous features. Maybe you should opt for a similar style but smaller frame.. I think Miu Miu do something like that :) xxx
to be honest, I dont like them .... then again I am more of a rayban wayfarer kind of girl ... They do look a little lab-ish...:p
xox
Keep them! I think you can totally pull them off. xxx
I personally love them because I enjoy huge sunnies! I think they look very nice on you & your hair looks gorgeous by the way!! xx
personally i'd get rid! I think they swamp your face.
I love wearing sunglasses too, always have them in my bag so i don't have to squint if the sun comes out!
I'm not keen. I like big sunglasses, but these seem a little too big. If your not comfortable in them, then better to make some money for some you do like than keep them for the sake of it :) xx
I love the sunglasses but I don't think the shape or size suits your face shape and the black is almost too harsh against your skin tone. I think you probably have ones that suit you way better ... in fact i'm sure you have enough for every day of the week lol ;) xx
hmm i think if you're iffy about them, they gotta go. i say that from lots and lots of experience lol. if i'm iffy about something, i'll still buy it thinking i will use it someday.. and of course, months later, it still has its tags on it and it still continues to collect dust.
I like them but they're very much "statement" glasses - I'm not sure if I'd wear them a lot if I had them. I think it depends how confident you feel in them - if you like them, keep them! Also loving the new blonder hair - looks great for spring! x
I'm undecided! I like them on your hand, I'm not sure that style is in again yet...but it does go in cycles.They might be all the rave in 6 months time.
Loving the detail.. but I still think this is an eBay sell.. x
