Remember me losing my footing when it came to fashion, not being inspired anymore or knowing what I wanted to look like? I feel like the things that have happened to me the past half year (my dad dying, writing my thesis, graduating) have pushed me in a new direction, forced me to find myself again. 

That direction was set in motion when I bleached my ends last year and then even more so when I dyed them pink. Suddenly, I was reminded of the girl I was during my teens. The last time I dyed my hair was back then, when I was about 15. This was also the last time my style might have been described as sporty. At the time I considered myself part of the skater subculture, baring my stomach in baby T's and low waisted baggy pants, shuffling through life in sneakers. 

Every half year or so, my parents allowed me to buy one pair of shoes, invariably sneakers. My, how times have changed. Remember the time when you might say "I'm going to wear my grey shoes tomorrow" without that statement potentially referring to ten pairs of shoes? Moving away from the parental unit also meant moving away from quality>quantity as a guideline. Not too sure if that was a good thing.

ANYWAY! I'm into sporty stuff again, and I'm head over heels with these sneakers. Bought them in the sales at a nice discount and they walk like MARSHMALLOW CLOUDS. I realized I needed some actual comfy sneakers after getting blisters on both feet from my Converse after just an hour or two of walking. I've never found Converse THAT comfortable really, they just look cool. BUT SO DO THESE <3 I personally prefer real sneakers to the ubiquitous sneaker wedge, and now I can finally act on my love for the styles of Robyn, Yolandi Visser and Rihanna!

Are you liking the way my style is evolving? You can't resist these shoes, can you?
