STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Kickin' It

March 10th, 2015 at 2:10am

With the spring season in full swing and finals looming around the corner, it’s both difficult and important to strike a balance between functional and cute outfits. That being said, throwing together a stellar outfit in the morning shouldn’t feel dreadful either. So what’s a girl to do? The key is to have a favorite closet staple that goes with everything. The staple for this spring is wedged sneakers.

Sneakers generally go with everything. But wedge sneakers up the ante on your fashion game. Wedge sneakers not only give you a few extra inches of height, but they also feel a bit more fancy than your average shoe ware. The best part is that they go with virtually everything. From frilly dresses to leggings and a T-shirt, you just can’t go wrong.

This Fashionista’s outfit is casual in the best way. It says, “I care but don’t care too much.” With her pair of wedged sneakers, she sports a pair of black leggings, a black tank dress, and a long gray sweater. The look is put together and still casual enough that this Fashionista can relax when cramming for finals.

It’s no lie that wedged sneakers can feel difficult to pull off or even awkward to wear, but this Fashionista shows that doesn’t have to be true. Wedge sneakers are perfect for a busy day running around for classes and chic enough to go out to dinner later that night. Pulling them off just means not overthinking your outfit. Wake up, throw on what you want to wear and top it off with a pair of wedge sneaks!

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “I love to buy neutral wedge sneakers and to also buy fun laces to coordinate with my outfit. For example, if I’m wearing all neutrals in my outfit, I’ll swap a pair of neon laces into my sneakers. If I’m wearing brighter colors, I just switch out the neon laces for neutral ones! I actually own three pairs of wedged sneakers; I love them so much.”
