Converse Love

I am now officially hooked on Converse. They're so cute. So retro. So not-make-my-feet-look-big! (This is a real problem of mine. I always feel like bigfoot in sneakers.
I had some pretty Converse sneaker-flats and was thrilled when the real One-Stars went on sale at Target.
So... of course I had to take pictures! :P

I learned that "Boyfriend" by the new band Best Coast (free on iTunes right now!) goes especially well with Converse...


This next one is going on Etsy!


And retro messages in bottles go great with Converse too...
(Also going on Etsy!)

... as do vintage cups and intense eye makeup. (Photo by my mom)


So how about you? Are you suffering from obsession over loving your Converse too?

  2. Cute pics, Olive!! I used to have a pair of Converse, but they got too small for me. :( Since then, I have not bought any more, but I really should. Those things were the bomb!!

  3. Those pictures are GORGEOUS! I love the first one!

    Last year, I used some of my Christmas money to buy a pair of gray Converse, and I wear them with everything! I love wearing them with skirts :)
    I really want a pair of pink or blue ones, even though they are so impractical :)

  4. I don't officially "own" a pair, but I really do like them! However, I have problems with shoes that don't have the right inserts, or enough support. :( *tear* so I can't really wear them.

  7. I know! I love Converse shoes! I have a pair exactly like that, except they are a different color, and I love them! I love the pictures that are going on your Etsy also!

  8. I just recently got a pair. They're ridiculously FABULOUS. :D I take so many pictures of them ;)

  9. I love them too. I have a pair that look like Converse (but are not). Hopefully I'll get some for "back to school" shopping. Purple ones would be amazing. ;)

  10. Well Amanda, I have the same problem, but you can get removable inserts, and I put them in my converse-- true they don't have much support... But I wear them anyways.
    I had a pair of non-lace green converse, then a pair of brown ones (with purple laces :D) then a pair of purple ones (that I wore a hole through LOL) and now I have black ones. The amusing fact is that I have gone through 4 pairs of converse in 1 year. And I adore them!
    Some of my friends have three or four pairs, but I only have one (two if you count the ones with holes in them... which I don't) which can prove problematic as I have Converse, two pairs of flip-flops, and fake Uggs... those are my shoes. Lol, and the only ones I can really wear to school are Converse :P

  12. I have airwalks that look like Converse, because I am the worlds biggest cheapskate EVER.

  13. Ah! You're soooo lucky! I can't wear converse (terrible feet :( ) But I've ALWAYS wanted to! They're like the only shoes that girls in my grade wear. I'm jealous. :)

    Peace,

  14. Laurea, I have terrible feet too, but I put orthodics in my shoes (they can be annoying, but you get used to them) and considering what they are made of have pretty good support.

  15. I've had orthotics pretty much since I've been able to walk LOL. They cost more than my shoes :P

  16. Hey, again! :D In response to your comment on my blog:

    Thanks, Olive Tree. :) I think my problem is, that I'm actually trying SO HARD to become more of an Orthodox Christian. I'm trying to live 110% by the Bible, for God, and everything. And for me, something as miniscule as this is stopping me from becoming that person I want to be. That's why I've been so upset. Thanks for helping me. :)

    Peace,
    [Laurea]

  17. I know!!! They are SO expensive!!! I am destined to have bad feet though! SO unfair! My mom, sister, and both my grandmothers have orthodics. I wear Converse anyways because I am really picky about shoes, and I don't like Tennis Shoes very much... I mean, some are cute, but as I don't own any... I got my orthodics in... 3rd grade possibly 2nd... maybe 4th? I dunno... They are sooo expensive... Aren't they $600? Maybe thats wrong, but they are WAY more expensive than my shoes!

  26. I love Converse with a passion =) and have a pair of high tops that I wear almost every day. They are so worn out now! For some reason I keep thinking about trying to find some red plaid ones, but I really have no idea where these thoughts are coming from.

  29. I just got a pair of converse yesterday, and I'm loving them so much! The color I got was a light charcoal. Since the color is neutral, it goes great with anything I wear. :)
