Tightwad Tuesday: Prada Baroque Round Sunglasses for a Steal

Mon doux, in the left corner we have Prada’s beautiful Baroque Round Sunglasses – the very ones seen donned by Mary-Kate Olsen, Gwen Stefani, Paris Hilton, Rihanna, Zoe Saldana, and Eva Mendes; in the right corner take a gander at GoJane’s Swirl Arm Sunglasses.

While the glamorous GoJane offering lacks the Prada nametag; for a mere $9.50, in comparison to the $290.00 required to take their couture counterpart home, they are le perfect way for the frugal fashionista to add a celebrity touch to her arsenal of accessories – at a price that allows one to scoop up a pair in all three saucy shades (Black / Navy, Tortoise, and White)!

So mes chéris, what are you up to today? Will your AmEx take a beating with a splurge, or will you stay safe and thrifty with a frugal buy?


Fashionably yours!


Thanks to Nordstrom and GoJane for the pictures.

    Thank goodness there is a cheaper one out there. I'm not sure I'd still wear them though. Great find!

    Wow! GO JANE!

    Interesting find. I'm always up for a cheap pair of sunglasses, because they are so hard to keep up with.

    These are interesting. They look like pieces of art, sunglass art, with those great swirls going on. I'd pick the GoJane ...

    Even though the Go Janes are identical, I'm a sucker for designer shades :)

    What an AMAZING steal! I've been obsessed with the Prada shades for over a year, but couldn't stomach the $290 price tag. $9 is definitely doable! xo style, she wrote

    I don't think that shape would look good on me, but I'd definitely go thrifty this week! I'd be too scared of breaking/losing such an expensive pair :)

    Well, isn't that an obvious copy! I dunno...for sunglasses, I tend not to go for something cheap. Gotta protect your eyes, after all!
