Throwing It Back
In the past year, I feel like I haven't been as invested or interested in trends. Instead, I find myself wanting to simplify the dressing process, and go back to the basics. Lately, so many of the old school sneakers that we grew up wearing have been having a revival (like Adidas Stan Smiths, Nike Cortez, etc). I'm really into this sneaker revolution (re-revolution?) because in my mind, it harkens back to a simpler time. This spring, Famous Footwear is carrying a selection of throwback shoes and asked me to style a pair. I picked out some Vans high tops, which have been so ubiquitous lately.
I actually didn't notice that this style of Vans was EVERYWHERE until my husband pointed it out and told me that he wanted a pair. Now he has 3 pairs! Ok he actually only asked for the classic black ones with the white stripe, but I thought that was a bit bland, so I bought him a couple of different pairs in more exciting color/fabrications (one all-leather in a nudish pink and one in grey suede). I think we are getting to that age where the nostalgia of the shoe makes us feel a little bit young again. And it's just so easy to throw them on and NGAF the way we did back in the day. In high school, I always gravitated towards Vans sneakers since they were so easily paired with any kind of outfit. My husband was the same. Funny fact: we actually went to the same high school and were only a year apart in school but never met until after college. He always wistfully ruminates about how different our lives could've been if we had met back then.
Style tip: high-top sneakers can really shorten the leg, so pairing with a high-waisted pant is a good idea! I always like to cuff my pants and show a little bit of ankle. Except when it's really cold. Then I roll them back down.

Spring Sneakers
Floral dresses and sneakers always seem like such a perfect pairing for spring. It's such a feminine and yet, not too frilly combo; not to mention, extremely comfortable and it can take you anywhere! Since Adidas Superstars are everywhere again, it makes sense for KSwiss to have a revival too. Love that these come in a fresh pastel color that is so perfect for spring.
