Black Blazer + Pink Sneakers

Life is ironic!  Would you believe me if I told you I was somewhat of a tomboy growing up?  I wore my clothes over-sized and I absolutely despised wearing skirts.  But then...

Then I decided one day while sitting in my college class that I wanted a complete change.  And just like that I went from over-size to the right size.  Seriously, within a month I was wearing fitted jeans and heels.  The irony is that these tennis shoes (as we call them in the south) are my only pair of athletic shoes.  And the only reason why I bought them was for a shopping trip to New York City two years ago. 

Have you ever thought about "dressing up" sportswear?  It's super easy to do.  Take my look for instance; adding a black blazer and rolling up the sleeves didn't take much effort at all.  But there are also quite a few other ways in which you can pull off the athleisure style.  Instead of sneakers, you can take a sporty looking dress or over-sized t-shirt and pair it with some long boots or booties. A sweatshirt and some pumps would be really cute.  You could even put on some yoga pants, sneakers, crop top and a moto jacket.  These are just a few ways to pull of this style.  

You don't always have to be in heels and dressed to the gawds.  Being stylish comes in many forms.  I've said this many times, step outside the box and wear something you wouldn't ordinarily wear.  What new style do you think you'll try this week?  Drop a line below and let's talk about it.
