So this next trend took me a little while to get used to. I wasn’t sure if the “Converse” look went with my style. My first thoughts were that they were kind of the “outcast shoe”, only for those going out of their way to be different. A few years ago, when my not-so-traditional-older brother got married, he wanted everyone to wear Converse. At the time, I put up some resistance.  

Now, these shoes are everywhere, and they work with almost any outfit. They add a level of casualness and style that not many other shoes can accomplish. I can dress down my work outfit or add a touch of rockstar to my clubbing gear.

I willingly bought my own pair recently (for under $20), and have been happy every since. I found a pair that closely resembled the Converse All-Stars for half the price, and they have definitely become a staple in my everyday and nightlife fashion.

Sunglass Freak

I admit it… I kind of have an obsession for sunglasses. When you put them on, you get an instant celeb-feel. But, I have this horrible problem: they always seem to disappear. I used to pay the crazy high prices and buy the designer brands, until I lost every pair I owned. $150 is way too much to throw away (approximately 33 double Cheeseburger meals from McDonald’s). And when I would finally be brave enough to jump back in Designerland, I would be terrified to wear the new pair. I wouldn’t wear them at the beach, the pool, the car (melting/cracking), or take them on trips…so I pretty much didn’t bring them anywhere.

That’s when I discovered generic sunglasses that mocked the look of designer brands. And they do a pretty good job at it! Now, I can rock multiple trends during the week:

Monday/Tuesday: is the “Rayban” look.

Wednesday/Thursday is the “Oakley” look.

The weekend belongs to the “Carerra” look.

And any night could have the “Kanye” look.

Not to mention, with the low costs, you can get any pair in any color. (Neon’s are good for clubbing or college football games!) I’ve gotten these types of sunglasses from a number of places including Target, Aldo, mall kiosks, Claire’s and American Eagle. All were under $20, and some were under $10.

The white pair from American Eagle look like Oakleys!
