I have one pair of glasses left, and the prescription is old, and they are broke. My sunglasses are in better shape, and I love them, and will wear them forever. But. I wouldn't mind have a few more pairs.
I bought some vintage prescription sunglasses/glasses frames at an antique store in Colorado. I know that any decent optometrist (is that even the right word? Ocular specialist? Ha.) can, uh, refill them in my prescription. They aren't cheap frames - one pair is Liz Claiborne, another Anne Klein. However, I only paid $5 for each of them, and they're all in very solid shape.
This pair I think I would just get as straight-up glasses, no shades:
This pair, I'm not sure about. They would make awesome shades, either gradated like here, or full-on dark, or even as straight-up glasses. Hm.
Um, definitely sunglasses:
(Apparently, I don't know how to place them correctly on my face).
I now need to a) get a full-time job and b) find a place that will make lenses for cheap(ish). In the meantime, I'm fine with broken glasses, because it gives me an excuse to wear my shades as much as possible... :)
