I love Laura...but those sunglasses were inappropriate.

Several of the Greek Orthodox priests, a couple of cardinals, and several of the dignitaries wore sunglasses.

Sunglasses are often required if you have sensitive eyes, if you are recovering from eye surgery, or if you wish to wear them to hide tears. I find them a neutral item.

I love Laura...but those sunglasses were inappropriate.

Speaking as someone who was born with an extreme sensitivity to light (it gives me headaches and makes it ultra difficult to see if it is too bright), and as a contacts wearer, which Laura also is, knowing that wearing contacts makes me even more light sensitive, I give her a lot of room on this.

Laura wears contact lenses, and the wind was gusting in Rome today. I'm sure that's why she was wearing sunglasses. It's a necessity, not an option, for some of us.
