Just in: I finally bought a fresh new pair of sneakers! Vans...nope. Chucks...napes. Generic Surplus' mesh sneakers. Finally a low key, low top with just the right detail to make me feel chic when I actually feel like blending in just slightly more with the unfussy dress code of North County San Diego. Yay to basic, beachy and classic shoes [with a slight twist]! Paying attention to detail is a fun sport. And to think that I declared that I would not buy shoes with laces for a long time once I started noticing that I have a perverse preference for shoes that keep my feet harnessed, strapped and buckled. I bought them on pure excitement-induced impulse at Grandeur in Oceanside of the 101 and felt utterly great about blowing potentially-much-needed-for more-important-crap-money on them. The simple fact that it has actually been a goal of mine to one day walk into, discover and purchase the perfect pair of kicks from Grandeur, but never could quite find what i felt was me until now....and the fact that I didn't buy them in a color always worth spending on when it comes to shoes especially: BLACK, proves that this beautiful pearly opal color will have a chance proving itself as a staple neutral to the completion of many casual outfits. I'm obsessed with mesh and basically my beloved lived in Phillip Lim sandals inspired me to start collecting shoes that are not completely there with the appearance that they are still pending/loading/buffering/whatever. These shoes are the pair that mostly cover up my as of lately, ubiquitous scantily clad feet.
