FASHION | Sneakers!
Jean Jacket: Old Navy | Blouse: Fab’rik Chapel Hill (love this one) | Tassel Necklace: Style Lately (similar) | Jeans: Old Navy | Sneakers: Asic Tigers
I realize I don’t wear them on the blog hardly ever, but I have a thing for bright and funky sneakers. No, really. I do. Over the years I’ve collected bright and funky sneakers and worn them to the bone.
As much as I want to be, I’m just not a girl who wears heels. Yes, I wear them OCCASIONALLY, but honestly, it is RARE that you see me in heels. Wedges, yes. Heels? No. Hardly EVER. EVER. EVER. I just don’t have the body, the build, the feet, or the legs for heels.
Cowboy boots, flats, TOMS, and sneakers are my jam. Although those wedge sneakers? Yeah, you won’t see me in those… ever.
I realize this isn’t the most “fashion forward” or “trendy” outfit, but I felt kinda proud of it. Sneakers have been making a “fashion” comeback over the last year and I thought incorporating them into an outfit would be fun. Plus, I kinda feel a little 80s in this outfit. I mean, the light denim jacket, the black jeans, the sneakers? It’s very 80s. But I’m a child of the 80s so it’s fitting.
I think.
I dunno. Sometimes I am okay with the fact that I kinda march to the beat of my own fashion drum. I’m not going to go out on a limb and do anything fashion crazy JUST for the sake of doing something fashion crazy.
Do you know what I mean?
What about you? Are you a sneaker girl? Fan? Not a fan? What’s your preferred footwear? Are YOU a kid of the 80s? So many questions!

I love, love your hair like this!!
Molly, I feel the same way as you about footwear! I NEVER wear heels (I don’t even own a pair…), and I wear wedges on occasion, but for the most part I’m always in boots, ballet flats, or TOMS. I do love a good pair of sneakers as well (Chuck Taylors, Pumas, and Roos are my jam)! This reminds me that I need to get another pair of sneakers. I had gotten rid of most of my sneakers when I graduated from college, but now I’m feeling the need to get another pair or two…
In the winter my preferred footwear is boots and in the summer, rainbows. I am not very original. 🙂

I used to be all about the puma sneakers. Then I wore them one day and they gave me horrible blisters and I was scared to wear them ever again. Womp womp. But I’m still a converse girl and probably always will be!
Your posts stopped showing up in my Feedly (not just yours though, so I don’t think it’s anything on your end) so I’ve been missing out and that makes me very sad. I may have to fully switch to blog lovin if this keeps up. Grr. But your hair looks great here!
I love Asics Tigers! I had an obsession with them a few years ago and brought 4 pairs. I like this pair too but I tend to stick to Chucks nowadays.
I do love your outfit! I agree, it has an 80s vibe! We all have to have our own style otherwise we would all look the same….me, I LOVE heels, the higher, the better! I love the way a heel makes me feel – tall (I’m short), powerful and sexy. I think it makes the leg look long and lean and adds strut to your walk. I am a short curvy girl, not the tall think woman in the heel ads, but who cares. I love to rock a pair. You look great in the footwear you rock! 😉
I love sneakers, I have about 3 pairs of converse and I am always looking for a cute flat. I used to be all about heels but the older I’ve gotten I enjoy a good wedge too. Heels are nice for special occasions or if I want to REALLY dress up but with a toddler and a newborn on the way I know they won’t be practical.
I love sneakers and flip flops and slippers:) Oh, and cowboy boots. I rarely wear heels. I cant go very fast with them on;) Blue is a great color for you. Happy Wednesday!! Susan
I love that you march to the beat of your own fashion drum! How boring would it be if we all looked the same 🙂
And I’m right there with you on the wedge sneakers… not for me.

Love your outfit and sneakers! This is an easy Everyday look!
xo, Lee
Love this outfit! You make me want to go out and buy a new pair of brightly colored sneakers (they were already on my list, but even more so now)!! And you look gorgeous!!
I think you did a great job of “dressing up” the sneakers with your choice of blouse material & accessories! I like!

I LOVE sneakers. Sadly, I can’t justify purchasing them because I don’t really wear them to work, and there are only a few days in the weekends. But my hubs got me some Kate Spade glitter Keds for Valentine’s Day and I was over the moon!
Sadly, I rarely get out of my house shoes these days…however, they are really cute house shoes…
I need to get some new sneakers (or tennis shoes as I call them). I’m with you on the no heels, though… add Rainbow flip flops and Sperry Topsiders to your list, and that is what I wear.
