Dior vs. Dior

Women like fashion accessories.
Some women like bags, shoes, watches, rings, hats, socks, panties, whatever.
Some other women like Sunglasses... but not ANY sunglass.
This particular woman likes Dior sunglasses :)

I happen to like only ONE design that's the one shown above. I bought a pair 2 years ago and it broke, so when D and I went to LA she saw a pair of glasses like the Dior's but not the same. Anyway, long story short, I bought the other pair for $15 and I was happy to have glasses... I wore them every single time I went out and I still have them - even though they have a HUGE scratch on the right lense.

One day when I was feeling really blue and I felt like I could use some 'shopping' to cheer me up, I decided to go on ebay to check some stuff... and YES! I found my glasses!!!
I bought them.
Full price.
$287.
I wouldn't spend that $ on the UGG boots I've wanted for like... forever! But I did spend them on my wonderful, beautiful Dior glasses.

I don't think they look good on me,
but I like the shape and how they help me with the sun (whatever!) LOL

Few months later I'm walking in Manhattan and I see a little booth with -OMG! Dior sunglasses. I was like: OMG! I can't believe they have MY glasses there!
Same style. Same color. Same everything....

... except the price.

For the low price of $15 you could take this beautiful Dior sunglasses home!

I know...I look like a fly :)

They're NOT the same.
The way they feel in your nose... the way you see thru the lense... the weight... the texture of the frame... blah blah blah.

Will I wear my 'fake' Dior? OF COURSE!
(I know the REAL ones are safe at home!!!)
