So here’s the deal. I’ve always loved Sarah Jessica Parker’s vibe, especially her eyewear game. Saw this whole buzz online about where she scores her affordable sunglasses, thought: “Hey, why not track down similar pairs without wrecking my wallet?” Grabbed my phone and dove in.
Started With Google… Obviously
Searched stuff like “sarah jessica parker sunglasses cheap”, “sjp eyewear dupes”. Scrolled through pages of gossip sites and fashion blogs. Big surprise—most articles just yapped about high-end stuff or unnamed vintage finds. Frustrating. Clicked through five tabs, zero actual leads. Almost chucked my coffee.
Hit Up Retailer Sites Directly
Remembered she’s repped some brands before. Pulled up sites like Warby Parker, Quay Australia. Scrolled their entire sunglasses sections hunting for her vibe—you know, those classic oversized frames, cat-eyes, maybe tortoiseshell? Found similar silhouettes for sure, but prices hovered around $80-$150. “Affordable” is relative, I guess. Snapped screenshots of a few potentials:
- Warby Parker’s “Percey” – Round lenses, light tortoise. $95.
- Quay’s “High Key” – Big, bold, gold finish. $65.
- Nordstrom Rack’s “Bailey” – Square acetate frames. On sale for $45.
Pivoted to Bargain Hunting
Struck gold searching “drugstore designer dupes”. Ended up on Amazon & Zulily typing things like “oversized retro sunglasses under $20”. Sorted by top rated, filtered under $25. Spotted pairs with reviews yelling “SJP vibes!” Clicked fast. Added three to cart:
- Glamourhouse Cat-Eye (matte black, $14)
- LeFashion Round Metal Frames (gold wire, $10)
- Sojo Classic Square (tortoiseshell, $12)
Final Move: Checked Reviews Like a Hawk
Zeroed in on reviews mentioning “Sarah Jessica” or “dupe.” Read about fit, lens quality, shipping times. Skipped any with “cheap plastic” warnings. Ordered the $12 Sojo tortoiseshell squares. Got ’em three days later? Slapped ’em on. Big whoop—they look like a million bucks. Sturdier than expected. Big SJP energy for less than lunch.
Bottom line? Forget chasing celeb myths. Dig through budget retailers, stalk reviews, and low-key dupe it yourself. What can I say… these eyes? Looking snatched on a shoestring.
