Sue loves art and color, and was so excited to finally have some fun and funky eyewear! And we loved helping her find the best of the bunch 💐 She was especially wowed by the asymmetrical frame with different colored temples, which we think was waiting just for her!! Not pictured: the colorful backing to the suns, which features artwork by Sabine herself!
