If you love Manhattan, chances are you learn to love sneakers with your normal clothes. The first few times I went to the Big Apple, I thought, “This is going to be it. I’m going to Gossip Girl it around town. Let’s pull out the booties!”
L. O. L.
Because 4 miles into your day [probably noon] you’re dying. Then, I’ve had to run unto Duane Reade and pick up insoles because my feet would be killing me. So after a few trips I learned to rock leggings and sneaks with lots of layers! I still feel pulled together with some fun accessories, but I’m comfortable.
I like to pick up black nikes a lot because they work so well with this look and are life savers on weekends you have lots of errands. This sweater from Chicwish [see it styled another way here] is also a must have for weekend looks! I pile it on over dresses for church and leggings for Saturdays. It also comes in a beautiful camel brown color here!
Do you have a go-to weekend look?!
I can so relate to your NYC story! Same happened here! The Blair Waldorf look didn’t pan out. Same happened when I visited charming Charleston last month. After a few hours of walking on the cobbleston streets in my cute booties I was ready to chop my feet off.
When I joined my sorority at Arizona State I was surprised about how all of the girls from NYC wore “sneakers” and had so many cute pairs (they had a lot of amazing shoes too). I learned early on that you can create a very cute outfit for walking around a HUGE campus with “sneakers” 🙂
Ummm loving this post! After I lived in Chicago I learned the importance of fab sneakers. I live in San Diego now and people seem confused by it, lol. The problem I have now is that I always want NEW sneakers and the latest colored black designs. xo

HAHAHAA this is perfect. I love the look and my first time in NYC I was literally so excited to be so Blair Waldorf chic on the steps of the Met and made it about two blocks before the trip to Duane Reade for insoles followed by a trip to Barney’s Warehouse for an entirely new pair of shoes. This is the perfect comfy chic outfit.
