Teach Your Children About Philanthropy With Style

As warmer, sunny days approach and spring fashions hit stores, we exchange camel-colored cardigans and knee-high boots for colorful tanks and strappy sandals. During a visit at the mall for a quick errand, we push the stroller, hold onto the hand of our little one and admire the bright and bold looks that adorn storefronts. While shopping for Shindigz birthday decorations online for a one-year birthday party, our mouse eventually clicks on fashion blogs to see the latest spring trends and opens Pinterest to pin summery style inspirations.

For busy fashionista moms who are eager to update their closet with cute spring items, new sun glassess are an essential accessory. Sunglasses camouflage those dark eye circles that appear because of sleepless nights cradling a newborn or while up late at night planning a birthday party for your dear 1 year old. Who knew babies and birthday shopping were both equally tiring? You might as well look cute while doing so. Warby Parker sunglasses will give you that sense of style and can even serve as a philanthropic learning tool for your little one.

Warby Parker: Budget-Friendly Sunwear

As a hardworking and dedicated mom, you deserve to feel beautiful and embrace your personal sense of style. Although a pair of fabulous Prada frames or trendy Ray Bans may be outside of your budget, that doesn’t mean you can’t find fashionable sunglasses that not only suits your style, but your wallet as well. Warby Parker is a brand of affordable sunglasses that are meticulously crafted for a high-end, vintage look. Imagine Madison sunnies in Rum Cherry for the mom who likes to make a statement with her Sharpie-marker black hair and Anna Wintour bangs. If you like a little attitude, then the aviator-inspired sunglasses in Brushed Gold will give you that sass. Warby Parker sunglasses are less than $100, and although paying $95 for an accessory may seem extravagant, keep in mind Warby Parker’s philanthropic mission.

Fashionably Doing Good

Warby Parker not only sells sunglasses, but it specializes in eyeglasses and is dedicated to its mission of providing a pair of glasses to someone in need with every pair that’s sold. So as you debut your fabulous new pair of Warby Parkers, you can explain to your child about how these accessories also help change the world and provide a better life for people around the globe.

Warby Parker shares that their program works by partnering with non-profits such as VisionSpring. Once a pair of Warby Parkers are purchased, Warby Parker provides funding to VisionSpring. Along with Warby Parker’s support, VisionSpring provides glasses and trains low-income entrepreneurs to start a business of selling glasses in developing countries. The local entrepreneurs thus can earn a living, and people with visionary needs can access and purchase glasses. Buying a stylish pair of Warby Parker sunglasses to run errands or debut on vacation can set an example for your children and teach them about philanthropy, global social issues and economics.
