Through The Looking Glasses

beckerman.JPGAdorable design team and Gen Art superstars the Beckermans ( www.beckermans.com ) have the cutest Ray-Ban-inspired sunglass necklace for summer (and maybe for brightening up winter too?).
It comes in either rhodium/platinum or gold plated with a 24’ chain, and can be worn two ways – with the sunglasses going vertically or horizontally. I love options! But actually my favorite thing about the Beckermans is that the designers are three sisters – twins and their little sis (just like my family!)
For all you Wayfarer fans and Wayfarer naysayers out there – what’s the verdict on this one? Would you wear it?

I could see these on Flavor Flav once he checks into a nursing home and doesn’t need to know the time, just needs to find his damn reading glasses. From far away, maybe, up close, just weird.

I would not wear it – too big and too high school for my personal style…which probably means they will end up in teen vogue next month..

I think it could be sort of provocative to wear the glasses verically with something loose, something with a low neckline but not too low, so that you actually hide your glasses under your shirt/dress, and pull them out at the right moment.
