How to ‘Dress Up’ Sneakers

If you are anything like me, then you know that a pair of sneakers can make just as much of a statement than heels can. I love a good pair of shoes and when it comes to footwear I tend to value comfort over style. Thankfully, playing up my sneaker collection seems to be “in style” right now so I’m going to take advantage and pretend I have enough street cred to share how I dress sneakers up in today’s post!

If you remember from my first Shop with Me post, I had been on the hunt for the perfect gingham skirt. And friends, this one did not disappoint! The ruffled detail and the inconspicuous slit makes this little number the gingham skirt of my dreams! While the cut may tend to be a little on the sexy side, I thought pairing it with my Adidas would play down the va-va-voom style. Personally, I think I succeeded;)

I absolutely love the contrast that the feminine skirt and the sneakers give off each other. Paired with the frilly sleeves of my tank, the whole look is more playful than if it were paired with heels or sandals. I’ve “dressed up” these sneakers before but you can also get a look at how I’ve done the same with my Converse. Tell me, what are your thoughts about dressing up sneakers? Are you on board with the trend?
