Illustration Friday: Shades

In my past life as a Frame Stylist I came across a woman who had just renovated her turquoise blue convertible with "fins". I can't remember exactly what it's called but when she was talking about it that was the image that came to mind. The color and the time period got me almost half running to show her the turquoise blue frames that we just got. These would look so much fun I say. She got excited too, and had me hold it while she sleeps on it as she had just purchased something already. And the colorful frames are Armanis, that for something fun is still quite expensive. Unfortunately, I was not able to find it a home, although I was able to sell a pair of red frames to a Jennifer Aniston look-alike. Come to think of it, red frames may have been a better contrast to the turquoise blue. I just remember how happy it made me feel knowing I added color to an otherwise predictable frame palette out there. Of course I made sure they look great in them too. The one pair of frames I was hoping somebody would snatch up were these forest green rectangular Emporio Armani frames that folds twice. But the man I had in mind that would have made this the perfect match did not come my way at that time.
