Stilettos are of course a beautiful addition to any street style photo, but how many of us will be rocking a 5-inch heel when negotiating the Target throngs this Friday? Probably 0%. Of course, if you have the guts to brave Black Friday in heels, power to you! But a sensible pair of sneakers is much more practical, and luckily for us right on-trend too.
Apparently the fashionistas' sneaker of choice is New Balance, a shoe I typically associate with my dad and P.E. teacher; however the classic sensibility of this sneaker is the perfect addition to a casual shopping suit. I'm constantly fighting the fashion battle between comfort and style, but I always prefer to do my shopping in an ensemble that will inspire me to make smart purchases. This suit and sneakers combo ticks all the boxes!
For this look I paired a simple black blazer with easy fit drawstring pants (which we'll be thankful for post-Thanksgiving). Add a watch to keep the trip on track, an ipad case for quick price comparisons and digital shopping lists, a carryall tote, and of course some stylish kicks. What's your Black Friday uniform?

The sneakers are the best part. Have a Happy Thanksgiving.

ReplyDeletei can rock with this.......LOVE
ReplyDeleteI really love this look, it would be perfect even for my momma shopping trips...because unfortunatley Canada doesn't have Black Friday. Canada fail on that front.
ReplyDeleteI am focusing my energy on baking pumpkin pies right now, but sure I will be thinking about Black Friday schedule come Thursday night. A good & stylish pair of sneaks will certainly be in teh wardrobe plans :)
ReplyDeleteThere was a study that showed people spent money wisely when they felt pretty and put-together! So maybe a cute little outfit like this will help the purse-strings too :)
ReplyDeletelove the look! comfy and chic at the same time! have a lovely day, darling! xo
ReplyDeleteLove the new balance kicks!!
ReplyDeleteShould I venture out this Friday I'll be rocking my keds from highschool that are worn in to perfection! Love your choices!! Have a great holiday!

ReplyDeleteI'm such a fan of new balance! this is a great post! I'm probably gonna avoid black Friday for the most part, but a comfy shopping outfit idea is always needed. Thanks.
