The Small Things| Converse All Stars
My pair of Converse All Stars, are my first pair, and I bought them last summer with a 20% student discount in a size bigger than my feet. I will never regret this, I wore day in day out for a good 2 months, they took me across Paris in August and the cobbled streets of Bath in November and December. Over worn and tired they remain to this day my favourite pair of shoes in wardrobe; not because they are comfy (well okay that too), but because I could wear these with my prom dress and it would be okay for me to go to college like that.
Slip on, slip off. Over and over.
I have stretched the laces too much and now when I tie them up they are too long and drag along the tarmac pavements, and in the dirt tracks that I walk down. Most fashion blogs that I read and the people behind them would never get, 'sentimantal' for lack of a better word, about a pair of converse trainers, Jimmy Choo's maybe but not me. I will happily wear converse in a weird grey colour for the rest of my days, even though there will be days were the brogues have more appeal, these will 'always' be my favourite pair of shoes. (Don't quote me on that)
