Free (As In Nike)

Turtleneck: Zara (similar), Top as jacket: H&M, Jeans: Paige, Sneakers: Nike Free (gifted), Accessories: H&M metallic beanie, Karen Walker sunglasses

When I was a teenager I loved to wear sneakers. I don't mean just for comfort. I wore sneakers for a statement. I owned Jordans, Airmax '95, etc. It was a collection that I couldn't add enough to. Fast forward to my adult years and I have replaced that fervor with other fashionable collections (jewelry, high heels, bags, etc.). Though I wouldn't call myself "cool" by any means, I love the casual but chic vibe sneakers can add to an outfit (more inspiration for how to wear trainers on Vanessa Jackman's blog). Many may call it odd, unfitting or even perhaps sloppy but, there's no doubt it's a statement.

What do you think? Do you wear sneakers to your outfits?

  5. I love the lavender color of the Nike's! When I was growing up, I saw a lot fo chunky sneakers but lately I've been seeing more of these streamline styles which I like more! I was never really into shoes until college when there were times where I needed to wear heels to certain events and I started falling in love with them even though I am flat-footed :(

  12. I think a good pair of sneakers are great - though I can't stand to wear mine with a dress, it feels off to me! I love the floral shit as a jacket in this - so pretty

  13. I have never been in a sneaker person in my whole life (probably because I'm short), but I just got a pair of Nike Frees and I LOVE THEM! So much! I wish I had gotten yours though...mine are the same purple base but then neon green. When I ordered them I thought it was a mint green. Nope. It's neon. While I don't necessarily think I'll wear them out with jeans, etc. I've definitely started wearing leggings and big sweaters more often so that I can wear my nikes. I love them.

  24. those sneakers are super cute, I would totally wear them with an outfit, but I usually only wear sneakers when working out, I buy what is comfortable to me, which usually means they're in weird colors :)

  27. Thanks for stopping by my blog! I recently picked up a pair of purple nikes too (twinsies!) I would never have thought to wear them like this. Are they comfy? I've yet to break mine in.

  28. I actually just, a couple weeks ago, bought a fancy pair of sneakers to wear with normal outfits...I am not typically a sneaker wearing girl, but started needing the comfort for all the walking I do here in Europe. I love how those ones you are wearing look with your outfit. I def think if they are chic they can be worn with a nicer outfit.

    Also, to answer your question...my experience with Sheinside is just fine...I mean they have a slightly wonky way of showing the size of the sweaters. I am expecting another order from them soon, so I will know more if all is well with them.
