catching up {again}.

{via a cup of jo}

I've been looking for a pair of sneakers for awhile now. I have boots, I have sandals, but the only pair of sneakers I have are in pretty bad shape. You see, I got them for fifty cents at a thrift store over a year ago. They're amazing, because they look like Mister Rogers' sneakers. But yeah, I won't go into detail but they are pretty gross now. I might try washing them and replacing the insoles, but I'd like a nicer pair. I've been thinking about getting some Converse, but then today I did some blog searching and found these French Bensimon sneakers that seem to be all the rage in France. Yeah, so on a whim I went a head and purchased a pair that were on sale. Yay! I got mine in taupe, but they come in lots of colors. They also have high-tops, which I think are pretty snazzy, only the low tops were cheaper so I got those instead. I'll let you guys know how they work out. I plan to do lots of walking in them, since my boyfriend and I are poor (he's in grad school, I spend all my money on my business...you get the idea) and we end up finding all the parks and walking for our entertainment. Totally fine by me, but he's been making fun of me for my shoe choices, which tend to be really bad for walking.



Oh yeah, did I mention? I have a boyfriend. It's completely bizarre and weird and I'm kind of freaking out about all this change, 'cause I don't feel ready for any of it. But oh, well. We're having fun. And he likes plaid, so that's a good thing, right?

Have a great week! Still trying to catch-up, but hopefully I'll be all caught up soon. xoxo

{p.s. fall is coming! that means i am thinking about my fall wardrobe. wondering if i should stick with colors i gravitate more towards, like greys, black and navy. but that sounds so boring. i'd like some stripes in there as well. maybe plaid too... also getting back into knitting again! making this for my sister in grey wool. hope she likes it!}
