Sunglasses: The Ultimate Fashion Attraction & Cold Sore Distraction

The best accessory to reflect your style, personality or mood is a pair of shades. The right pair of shades can dress up, ooze casualty or bring on the glam factor. It is an affordable accessory that any girl can splurge on. And be honest, you probably have a collection of sunglasses because like your favorite purse, you need different styles to reflect different aspects of YOU. Especially when you’re suffering through a hellacious cold sore outbreak! Nothing detracts from a horrendous cold sore like the latest trendsetter in outdoor eyewear! But like any other fashion accessory, there are a few rules you want to follow to achieve the look you’re going for.

Work What Your Mama Gave You

Pick a pair that will take the focus off the dastardly situation of your fever blister, but try to pick out something for the shape of your face as well. You NEED balance. The rule is: your frames should be to scale with the size of your face.

Shades For Your Shape

Believe it or not, your face falls into a shape category. To find out which one, face a mirror and outline your face with a bar of soap or eyeliner. Or if you can bear it, study a close-up pic of yourself and judge your shape from that.

Reflect Your Best Personal Feature

Sunglasses come in all shapes, sizes and colors. So, choose a pair to reflect your best feature. Find ones that follow the contours of your perfectly waxed eyebrows. Or coordinate a pair of shades to match those fiery auburn locks everyone is always commenting on. Work what you’ve got. Everyone will be so busy noticing your style they won’t give a second glance to your cold sore!

Look For Some Protection

Fashion attraction and cold sore distraction are two great reasons to scope out the right pair of shades, but don’t forget about protection. You want to make sure that the sunglasses you choose will protect you from harmful UV-A and UV-B rays. Most sunglasses do this, but make sure you look for a label.

While it is fun to follow the trends of the season, more importantly, follow what fits you. Have fun shopping!
