Converse love!

NCyogini

I didn't know about the Converse thing at first. All I could think about were my Dad's gym shoes from the 1960's. But I thought I would give it a shot. I got a pair in tomato red, and one in black- they arrived yesterday and I'm not skeptical any more- it's love!

I think my Converse is actually what I was missing to pull my everyday casual outfits together. I've enjoyed putting outfits together the last few weeks, but they often didn't feel like me. Yesterday when I put on a knit top and a BF cardy with denim trousers and Converse, I felt like I had absolutely nailed my new style. I add a chunky pearl necklace or a long scarf and a great watch, and I feel so completely and totally fab, and most of all, still like myself!!

What a great look. Thanks Angie and all my YLF friends!

Namaste!
Steffie

Congrats Steffie! It's a wonderful feeling, isn't it? I love my grey Converse and am looking to get them in other colors this spring.

Sorry about the flash, hope you can see well enough.

JCrew trouser jeans, Threadless graphic T, Express Jacket, Fossil Watch, and my fab new Cons!

You look super in that outfit! Love the red scarf and the white bag! I'm wearing my chocolate brown converse as I type this! Love them! Glad you took the plunge and hope you get as much enjoyment out of them as the rest of us have!

You look fabulous! I can't believe how quickly you've caught on and found your style zone. The Cons are perfect!

I want that whole outfit Steffie, you look SUPER!! (the red scarf really is the cherry on the pie here, that and the red flower on your bag;-).

I love Cons too, and will definitely be getting one or two more pairs in the next few months.

Chris

Really like your outfit - very pulled together.

And Converse are so comfortable too which is a plus!

I love Converse. I only have one pair. I've been eyeing a color on Zappos. How many pairs would be too many?

Lee Hovey

Looking good! I am totally with you too. I never thought about wearing cons until I came to YLF, I finally bought a pink pair and love them! I am going to look to buy a charcoal grey pair to get more outfits.

I second everyone, especially Tara's comment!

Stephie, I love your outfit. I love how you tied the red scarf with the red flower. Well Done!

I don't know how many pairs of Converse are too many? I suppose it depends on your lifestyle. If you are SAHM or a Full Time Student, then 3 or 4 pair would not be unreasonable. They are cheap enough to justify owning several pair!

You look so sophisticated and I think the flower on the purse is adorable and wonderful and might have to copy you on it. I love my Cons but I have to admit they don't make me feel very polished or stylish. I don't know why. I guess since I'm short and young-looking I fear they make me look younger than I really am. You know, I might need to make a new topic on this...but you look so smart and chic!

Alexandra

Aren't they amazing? I've been wearing Cons since I was about ten years old, and I'm still going. The past five or so pairs have all been bright pink--to the point that they're kind of my trademark color. I'd feel like a traitor getting any other color, although I am thinking about picking up a grey pair. They're terribly addicting!

This outfit is so cute, well done!

Lena

You look terrific, Steffie!

It never occurred to me to wear Cons until YLF and now they are my favorite sneaker. I can't wait to wear them when the weather warms up. I first got grey ones, then red, now I'm considering other colors. I adore them with straightleg jeans. I might copy your outfit idea and use more feminine accessories with them.

KILLER. How do you feel adorning your body beautifully every day?

Steffie -- gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!

NCyogini

Thank you, thank you everyone for all the great feedback!

I think this summer I may invest in 1 or 2 more pair as well... maybe yellow and charcoal.

There's only 1 way to describe how fun this is... it's fab!

It's so much fun watching you evolve, and seeing how much fun you're having!

WOW! You look *so* stylish and comfortable. You make me want to go out and get some wide leg pants so I can copy this look. I agree with Inge that the scarf really makes the outfit.
