Casual Kicks

This post is promoted by DSW.

Finally, a trend I can really get behind. I think just about every post I’ve written in the last year has highlighted the fact that I’m obsessed with looks that are casual, comfortable and most importantly, easy. I don’t like anything contrived. And I definitely don’t like feeling like I’m trying too hard. So, when I teamed up with DSW to talk about spring trends, I was all about this athleisure deal. You know, the sporty-meets-chic, casual trend that is so popular right now.

The idea was to create an original look using high top converse. And honestly, if I had my way, I would have worn them with some super sassy cutoffs for some extra edge. Sadly, the weather had other plans in mind – April showers and all. I’m not mad at the faded black jeans, and the vest was an impulse because I felt like I needed more layers.

More about DSW: Just in case you’ve never shopped at DSW (how is that possible?!), they have just about every shoe option a girl – or guy – could ask for, including all of the major seasonal trends.

If you’re specifically looking to get into sporty chic, look no further. Some of my DSW must-haves of the season are: slip-on sneakers, retro joggers, high tops, and sporty sandals. And of course, I’m stoked that my long-time favorites, Birkenstocks are right on-trend.

At DSW, we believe in the power of shoes, and in the power of shoe lovers. With thousands of fresh styles for men, women, and children, we’ve got something for everyone, no matter who they are or how they dress. Shoes say a lot about you. Say something great.
