Unexpected Sneakers: Staying Comfy and Stylish

May 7, 2016April 16, 2025 Travel

You know how sometimes the best outfits come more from circumstance and less from planning?

As usual I didn’t check the weather (read: look out my window) before planning an outfit to wear to Poughkeepsie, NY on Friday and of course there was a downpour as soon as I stepped outside.

It didn’t put too much a damper on my plans but it meant that my crazy awesome lace-up heels that I’ve worn so much they are falling apart were not gonna kick it in the rain.

So I stuck with the sneakers that I had worn while running around that morning and felt very blogger-y.
