Tightwad Tuesday: Alexander Wang Zoro Angular Acetate Sunglasses for a Steal

Kitty cats, to the left you will find Alexander Wang’s wondrous Zoro Angular Acetate Sunglasses – the very same ones adored by the irresistible Ms. Lady Gaga; to the right take a peek at GoJane’s fabulous Futuristic Cat Eye Sunglasses.

Though the GoJane’s sport gold metallic accents in the corners, as opposed to the silver of the Wang’s, and feature a gradient lens instead of blackest black a la Zoro; for just $4.80, in comparison to the $325.00 price tag of the Wang’s, they are a sublime way of achieving star style on a shoestring budget!

Which role have you decided to undertake on this terrific Tuesday, kittens? Tightwad or spendthrift?


Fashionably yours!


Thanks to Net-A-Porter and GoJane for the pictures.

  8. The GoJane shades are less severe in their angles, which would work better for me. I'll pick the GoJane's :)

  9. The GoJanes would be a great way to try out this wacky trend without breaking the bank!

  13. Catwoman eyes are tempting... but not on me, for the moment.

    I usually always end up turning my dress around when I say this... so just wait and see!

  14. For trendy glasses such as the Wangs, I'd def. just get the GoJane pair. I've always envied how people look so fab wearing these glasses, but I can't pull off the Cat Eye look. Le sigh. Great post per usual! :)

  19. I always worry about funky sunglasses looking funny on me, or not having as many opportunities to wear more original ones. So, for $4.80 I think I can take the risk of trying a funky pair...even if I don't wear them every day, who can go wrong with that price!

    ReplyDelete
  20. These are funny, I wouldn't dare get the expensive kind.

    Oh, I'm glad you like button. Yes, I thought it had to be Blair W. if I were going to do this.

    Thank you for all that you do.

  22. Definitely the bargain pair. I have a serious tendency to snap sunglasses into pieces just after buying them!

  23. Fun shades! I don't think they would compliment my face shape very well but they sure are cool!

  24. I love buying fancy pants things for cheap.

    I also might love these glasses--with some red lipstick and a va-voom dress, I would be hot hot hot. Haha.

  27. You say Lady Gaga? I say Super-Vilainess. Either way I absolutely love these. I like that the less expensive one is the one that's more wearable on a day to day basis.. taking some of the edge and funneling it into "surprisingly appropriate yet edgy". As always, great find :)

  37. While these ARE super fun, I am gonna have to say tight wad. I lose sunglasses ALL the time. It's like a disease. The losing your sunglasses disease. I would be nothing short of devastated if I lost a pair of Wang's. So much so that I'd probably only wear them around the house!
