The great thing about wearing trainers is that you are free to leap around like a mad woman and not break your ankle doing it. Converse are like the wayfarer of trainers: classic and still à la mode. When I was younger we would doodle on them. I wouldn’t say no to drawing on them now, but it would be less butterfly scribbles and more navajo or something!
Even my mum has a pair of converse; it’s a definite improvement from her bright pink socks sticking out of some awful black running trainers! I have a picture of that somewhere… I should put it up on here. She’s not that bad really hehe, although she really did do that once.
I bought these a while back at Jones Bootmaker in England. It’s such a shame that Jones don’t delivery internationally, because I have been drooling over their womens sandals for a good couple of months now. Especially this pair of super simple black heels. I’m back in England for a couple of days so I’ll have to go in and have a look.
The reflective sunglasses really bring the outfit together. They echo the colour of the shorts and bit of zest to the ensemble. It’s really simple statement: they have presence but they aren’t too overpowering.
As for the backpack, it relaxes the whole look, it so much better in this context than a handbag. The acid wash and the colours go well too. I intend to get a couple of bag like this and maybe even one in leather because they are also so practical and I can carry way more stuff with me! Not that you need that much, but we all know that a bigger bag means you take more things with you that you necessarily need.
Take care,
