One Pair of Converse Three Ways

I was walking through Target the other day and saw the back to school display and it hit me that it’s almost that time of year again. For me it’s bitter sweet because the last 2 years my life has been consumed with grad school and now that I have graduated, this will be the first fall that I’m not going back. Is it weird that I have a bit of FOMO? Even though my head is no longer in the books, my days have quickly filled up with lots of fun projects I’m working on for you guys, though no two days are every the same.

So what does a day in my shoes look like? Well I am definitely a creature of routine living in a world of chaos. I deal with it by having a few things throughout my week that add a bit of structure. I decided to share a few of those things, while styling my new Converse Chuck’s throughout the day. Converse Chuck Taylor’s just remind me of going back to school (ok so I’m still hanging on, it’s an adjustment!) I feel like they are a classic that have been around for years and have the same cool factor now as they did when I was young. Either way they are the perfect shoe to give me the back to school vibe.  But first…

A coffee run is one of those musts for me. Whether it’s earlier in the day or the late afternoon, it’s nice to take a break, particularly if I am spending the day in the office. Sometimes it helps keep the creative juices flowing to just get out and refresh. I usually just wear jeans and a comfy tee, and adding a statement necklace, a pair of converse and a chic bag bring in just the right amount of style.

Working out is an important part of my day, so much so that I usually schedule it in like an appointment. I prefer to do it in the morning if possible, but regardless of when, I mix up my routine between strength training, intervals and yoga. I am a firm believer that the cuter your outfit, the more motivated you’ll be to workout hard and it doesn’t get much cuter than these leopard leggings.

Truth be told it isn’t always happy hour per say. Sometimes it’s dinner, other times it’s work related events, but regardless, when I have something in the evening it’s the time when I’ll get a little more dressed up. In the warmer months more than any other time of the year, comfort is key. I love the idea of Converse with this distressed denim skirt. Mixing sporty with edgy chic feels like the best of both worlds.
