By Sneakers!

Yes, I'm currently obsessed with sneakers and am finding a lot of inspiration (thank you Pinterest) to wear sneakers with all my favourite looks. Let's get started!

#1-2: Inspired by Angie's post today. My new denim dress paired wit denim sneakers. Easy peasy!

#3-4: The former is the inspiration pic I found online. And the latter is how I wore it. I will have to wait until winters to get the look just right!

#5: Chambray shirt, B&W striped skirt and denim sneakers. I really loved this!

#6: The same shirt and sneakers but a flared skirt with the shirt tucked in. This felt a bit 'school girl-y'. I loved #5 better.

#7: An H&M store opened up recently here and I picked up jogger pants. I LOVE them! They are drapey and soft, perfect for our HOT weather and my super casual lifestyle. Some days I do want to cover my legs Here I'm wearing black joggers with a B&W striped tee and black slip on sneakers.

#8: Similar outfit, different colors. I clicked this image at the end of the day and noticed how badly the olive joggers are wrinkled! I searched a lot for olive pants last summer but couldn't find any. These are also H&M jogger pants and I love them! Bonus: I have matching olive plimsolls too!

#9: This is what I'm wearing today. I really like this striped tee, and denim shorts are a staple for me in summer. I particularly love these leopard print sneakers!

Thanks a lot for looking. Have I strayed too far from my classic style aesthetics? I'd love to hear your thoughts!!! All comments/feedback are more than welcome.

Sneakers are currently really trending and considering they are very comfy as well, no wonder you are inspired but them. This is a great set of outfits, and I especially like the one you are wearing today.

And now you've inspired me! I love all your looks with sneakers, and a big fan of the print denim dress. There's something about the bright white laces that says "fun."

You look great Maneera. I love all your "inspired by sneakers" outfits. (And you are inspiring me to pull mine out today now that our weather is warming up and I am out of boots.) I especially love your denim on denim ensemble (#1-#2). I bet that new dress is already becoming a summer wardrobe workhorse for you. I think you are still very much within your classic style aesthetics -- with a little added fun (the new joggers are a fabulous addition). I find that summer is a great time to experiment and push the boundaries of my personal style a bit and to be more playful. Perhaps you are doing the same. Here are my sneakers for today. I haven't worn them in a while. Thanks for the inspiration!

Whoa! What an inspiring post. Love every one of these sneaker outfits. I can't pick a fave--they are all so fun. You have got this sporty look down!

These are all great! I have slip on animal print sneakers very similar to yours in #9 and I love them with casual outfits.

Thank you ladies!

Tanya - I love that tee with black shorts too

Murph11 - Thankyou for that vote of confidence! I love my denim on denim look too

El Cee - Girl, I love your sneakers SO MUCH. I'm currently on the hunt to find Snakeprint sneakers myself! I think they're super versatile....not too sporty, yet casual enough. GLad to have inspired you!

Kelly - Thankyou sweetie! Yup...I'm so into Athleisure these days; it kinda scares me a little

I think you look adorable! I just saw the cutest pair of sneakers while shopping with my daughter last week, and I just might go back and get them now that I've seen how you made them look! I've got a white skirt with blue stripes from last year that I'd like to wear with a navy or hot pink tank and my denim jacket, and I think these Converse that I saw could look just right!

Roxanna

I love the enthusiasm and the mile-wide smiles I can read through your writing! You sound energized by this tweak in your style, and I'd say it fits you to a T. i love how you do it with your modern classic sensibility!

I love all the pics - but the denim dress + sneakers is just adorable, and the denim with the black flared skirt is a bit of bombshell - you should do that fit and flare silhouette more, it looks gorg on you. Also love your interpretation of the style pic!

abc

Just popping in to say hi and that I love your sneaker looks! I'm envious as I haven't been able to get them to look right on me (could be my eye, though, too).

Take care and loving the new casual direction

@Thirkellgirl - you should totally get those sneakers. Something tells me you're not going to regret it ;D

@Roxanne - Thankyou so much! My smile just got wider!

@abc - Thankyou so much sweetie....

Suz

OMG, I can't get past how cute and gorgeous you look in #1. You' are right -- this is exactly the right footwear for that dress! Adorable but not too "prissy" or precious. What a great outfit on you.

Thanks Suz! I'm veryyyy flattered <claps hands>

Helena

Maneera, leave it to you to nail these sporty looks in such a classic and ladylike way. I think this is a great expansion of your signature classic style. Terrific!

Angie

I LOVE #1 especially. Killer. Your denim sneaks are adorable. Just like you.

rachylou

Just the perfect way to do skirts Love your r pattern mixing!

Colette

Just so cute! All of them! I LOVE you in #1 and #6.

Dee

You've nailed this look. I think it's a kind of updated classic. My favorites are #4 and #7.

RobinF

I think these really work well! Hard to pick a favorite. I'm starting to think I need to add some to my summer wardrobe.

Firecracker (Sharan)

No wonder you're inspired! You've nailed these looks, Maneera. I especially like the first and second outfits. So pretty and casual, all wrapped up together.

Thanks Angie, Rachy & Colette!

Dee - 'updated classic' ---- I like that!!!

RobinF - you should totally get some slip-on sneakers for summer!

Thanks a ton Sharan. I'm going to start wearing lace-up sneakers next!

Joy

#7 is my favorite but these are all inspiring.

Jaime

These looks are perfect on you.

Brooklyn

Really good outfits Manny. I think 5, 7 and 8 have that classic vibe that you like while still looking youthful and fun. They are my faves. No 1 has a vintage vibe to me, but I like it very much on you.

Sal

Wow - you look great. I think you have it nailed:)

I love 1 - it is super fun. And I love 5 and 7 too. I agree that I prefer 5 over 6 - I like the fit and flare shape on you but maybe it skews a little too schoolgirlish as you say. I think 6 would be fun with chunky lowish heel sandals but I know you are wearing a lot of flats at the moment.

I have one dress I have worn sneakers with, I might wear it tomorrow and snap a picture. I have a couple of others I could definitely try too. Right now is the time in our climate - in another month I would need more layers.

Thanks Sally. I know you like sneakers too...and our lifestyles are pretty similar as well (a lot of outdoorsy stuff that requires gear or super casuals but you too have a classic style and an hourglass shape).

I look forward to your WIW tomorrow pairing the dress with sneakers!
