What better way to move forward, than with the most fashion-forward kicks of course. Since discovering these gems around six months ago (my mom attributes the trendsetting to moi :)), I’ve revamped my go-to style. Bye-Bye boring, black boots. Hasta La Vista to those heavy Marni boots (the best Barney’s sale item I’ve ever scored) , and Shalom to my Nike gym sneakers. While I’ve nixed my old friends in the shoe department of my closet, I have not had to bid adieu to my clothing staples. With my new fashion-forwards kicks, my button down essential still stays. My black tops and patterned jeans too are again in my clothing repitoire.
Introducing the New Balance kicks. Hence their name, they do actually add a “New” balance to my style (sorry for being punny.) While dressing down on the lower half of my body, I am still able to dress up my upper portion. Gold, vintage chains are more present than ever. Skirts and dresses even come out more these days. My new fashion-forward footwear really balances out my “look.” They add a surprise factor to my outfits. They add some color to my drab ensembles. And they enhance my “funky” factor. They even are the inspiration to “My Style” board on Pinterest.
Rock them with jeans or a jean skirt. A sweatshirt or a sweater. A workout outfit, or a Wearaboutz look-they are the new balancing act to my look. Check out Leandra’s review on the trend, this British blog blessing the trend, and an amazing collage of street style by Trendtation.
