I've never been one to actually lust over a pair of sneakers, but there's a first for everything, right? I remember one of my friends saying in college that everyone should have a nice pair of black sneakers but black sneakers always looked so "heavy" and boring. I would much rather have had a bright pair of sneakers so I'll feel sporty and sassy and motivated to go to the gym. I didn't really "get" the black sneaker thing until now...now I totally get it.
You may be thinking, "But what does Elegance with a Dash of Daring" have to do with these shoes? Well, I think these are some pretty elegant looking sneakers because they have a classic look , but still have a fresh vibe. Also, rarely would you describe a sneaker as daring, but I can totally see myself wearing these out with black skinnies, a graphic tee and a blazer. I feel like these are the type of sneakers that you can pair with regular clothes and look totally chic!
Don't get me wrong, I love all of the fun neon colors and animal printed pairs they're coming out with these days, but there's just something about the classic black that is totally drawing me in! What do you guys think? :)
I really like the Nike Free's because they are so lightweight! They definitely have that fun sporty feel to them, plus the black will prevent them from getting dirty quickly!

DeleteThey look so so nice, a really good way of getting yourself back into exercise (well for me anyway) x

They would be great for that, except this time of year the only thing that stops me from going is the cold! haha :)
DeleteI really want these too! I love how sleek they look and how light they are!

DeleteThanks for joining the Friday's Fab Favorites link up, I'm a co-host this week and I'm trying to read every post! I love all these lightweight barefoot style sneakers, they look so much cooler than the clunky sneakers you picture everyone wearing in Working Girl! I'm totally all about sneakers with skirts now.
