Right now, similarly obnoxious sunglasses are for sale on Torrid for $12 and they would have fit her fat face.
Plus size glasses are a thing and have been for a long time. She could have gone to an optometrist, got an exam, been fitted for "designer" sunglasses with prescription lenses, scratch-proof and hydrophobic lenses for less than she paid for those appalling Dolce and Gabbana frames. Slightly different D&G frames are all over the Internet prescription glasses sites for half off. It's flabbergasting to see this sort of shit play out. For better or for worse, regardless of how you feel about whether or not what she really does is "work," the fact is that she does earn her way - sort of - and she has so little respect for her own effort that she spent a third of my mortgage payment on sunglasses that will end up under the driver's seat in the KIA covered with Twisty Misty syrup and missing french fries, right next to that hot dog she lost a few months ago.
You don't often see middle-aged women with so little impulse control or common sense. Splurging from time to time on nice but not entirely necessary items is no big deal. We all do it. But we tend to do it when our teeth are in good shape, our cars are road-worthy, our homes are in good shape, we know how much our next paycheck will be, and that sum isn't dependent on the vagaries of the attention spans of similarly unstable women. Literal magpies make better decisions about the things they pick up and take back to the nest.
If I were her mother, and she showed up for a shopping trip wearing $400 sunglasses less than six weeks after I had to bail her out financially because she took out pay day loans to support a criminal immigrant who gave her three STIs, I'd be tempted to slap those glasses right off her smug potato head.
Edited: @We’re All Going to Hell, designer is in quotes because with few exceptions designer frames are just the same mass-market frames made alongside no-names with a label so the price is jacked up. Most are designer in name only, meaning no one in the design house had anything to do with the creation and production, and just license their name to the finished product. Sometimes they’ll have minor differences, like spring hinges or flexible frame materials but for the most part they are the same plastic molding you get with cheap glasses. My point was that if Chantal wanted to go for mass-market designer labels in glasses, she might as well have bought them for less with all the frills but her “see thing, want thing, buy thing” tendencies endure she cannot even make sure her ridiculous glasses are functional and useful.
