They feature distressed pink plaid patchwork, which I loved at the time, but currently would prefer a simple, classic pair.
Of course I can't ever toss this pair, and breaking in a new pair is definitely not one of my favorite activities, so I will just have to embrace their uniqueness and wear them a bit longer.

Aww, they're cute! I love them paired with this really simple outfit :)
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't get rid of them either, even after I stop wearing them, they have stories to tell ;) (I wore my pair of Target sandals all over Paris and London, haha, they are gross and I still wear them all the time, not sure what I'll do if they break)

I love that you dressed this down, it's super cute! I could also see it working with the chambray tucked in and some dressier shoes for work.

ReplyDeleteVery nice casual look and I can see why those sneakers are your fave. They are too cute. . .
ReplyDeleteYou can't go wrong with a good pair of comfy, broken in, memory holding shoes! Love this outfit and how the shoes make it so comfy and casual.
ReplyDeleteI want a pair of Converse so badly! I think they're the perfect tennies to wear with jeans, a skirt or a dress! Love this laid back look.

Ah Converse... I have a plaid much-loved pair too. This is such a fun look--I love the way the un-tucked shirt and the Converse sneakers give the skirt such a casual vibe. May have to steal this one! :)

I hate to break in a new pair of shoes too. Love the casual look and your sneakers are still looking fab.
ReplyDeleteYou definitely can never get rid of those shoes! Maybe it's because I love Italy and know that I have kept just about everything I wore during my own trip. But this is a great casual look!

So cute! You make even sneakers look glamorous!

Something about Converse just elevates the chicness of an outfit. I have a pair of gray ones that I love dearly and have been wanting a pair of plain white ones but so afraid that I would get it dirty before even leaving the house.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I hope you will join TBT Fashion link up on Thursday.

You cannot beat a good pair of converse! I love the history this pair has. Mine were bought while on a trip to DC and a need for comfort. I always think about that when I wear them.

Oh I can totally relate to holding on to a pair of shoes that has been places with me!
ReplyDeleteI like this simple but very full of details look.
I've done the same! They look great though! Sneakers with attitude. Love your outfit.

THIS IS FAB! I love comfy, sporty, practical, elegance so this ticks all the boxes x
ReplyDeleteI spotted you on Cee's blog so just HAD to come and say hello :)
I adore this look! It's casual but dressed up at the same time. I should really trying wearing my converse with my similar skirt!
ReplyDeleteWhich this pair of Converse might not be your first choice now, there's nothing like a good pair of broken in sneakers - especially if they have a fabulous history like this pair obviously does. Well, except maybe a pair of broken in sneakers paired with a striped mini. I love this look and am currently doing a mental inventory of my wardrobe to figure out how I can recreate it :)

OMG! I love this look. I will be trying it this weekend! http://soworkweekchic.blogspot.com/
