They say it's worth it. They say that a good pair will change you. But $400, $500, even $600 on plastic that I will at some point sit on, scratch or otherwise maim seems irresponsible.
I have a $300 credit at NET-A-PORTER. Is now the time? Am I old enough to handle them? Fashion blogger self says NO, this is something you MUST try on. It's so obvious. Dreamy self says, 'Goooo, get theeemmm. The Alex Wang ones. Those are pretty. You will liiiike them. Nooo, you will love themm!"
Then again, I am wearing an eye patch today thanks to ingrown eyelash surgery (yes, this actually happens) Perhaps this is impairing my judgment...
(ps - Pirate jokes appreciated. The worst is pity. Yargh)
