Taylor: A Mom’s Best Friend
3 Ways To Style Those Comfy Converse
|
As mothers there are certain sacrifices that
we have to make in order to be great at the most important job in the world.
Quiet time and stilettos almost always are on that list of sacrifices. But
style, like those pumps, don’t have to be filed away in the closet for date
night or special occasions. It is possible to still look good wearing the most
comfortable shoes ever created. Enter Chuck Taylor. Here are three ways to
blast away the idea that comfort and fashion don’t mix.

Converses come in so many
colors that it’s hard to pick just one. A red lip will never go out of style,
especially when you have a pair of red low top Chuck Taylor All-Star Converse.
Make it a complete look by placing a monochromatic striped sweater and dark
denim jeans on top of a red flowy collared blouse like this one. Add a touch of
whimsy with accessories like these clever meow studs from Etsy.com.

The most iconic and in my opinion, most
feminine, Chucks of them all are no doubt the white low tops. Adding a blazer
on top of boyfriend jeans and a graphic tank can bring these comfy little
numbers up from ho-hum to oh wow! Keep your accessories bold like this chunky
bracelet, quilted watch, and embellished bib necklace to add interest to your
outfit.

This look is for those of you who like the
classics. These black high top Chucks paired with black skinny jeans and a faux
leather moto hoodie jacket make this cobalt blue blouse really pop. There are
so many textures going on with this combo that keeping the color combinations
simple as well as the accessories will ensure that it’s both functional and
fashionable.
