so....
I don't own a pair of sneakers. the closest thing that I have to a pair of sneakers in Singapore is a pair of black sequined converse high tops. I don't even know if that's the correct terminology, but they're sparkly black and are high tops. they're not actual sneakers. though they technically are... but you know... sequins! the very reason that I purchased them in the first place.
Anyway, I know that in my previous post I talked about how I need to clean out my wardrobe etc etc...and it still is something that I intend to do... but Chinese New Year AND a holiday AND my birthday are coming up and what better way to bring on the new year and a new age than buy a new pair of shoes!.... which are also arguably a necessity given that there isn't really a substitute for sneakers. flip flops (
I've started to say "flip flops" instead of "thongs" recently because while people here think they've been educated via the British English system most of their spelling and vocabulary has emanated from American pop culture) are terrific and I wear them as much as I can, but not entirely practical in all situations. Convinced yet? TOTALLY! I NEEEEEEEED SNEAKERS!!
As I initially pondered this gaping hole in my shoe collection I realised that I have no idea how to buy sneakers. That's pretty sad. I don't even know what I like or would look good in (most important of all). Like what sneaker would have the least impact on making my legs look stubby? Do I want white sneakers? Would black sneakers reduce the blatant sneaker look? Why didn't I try on those Y-3 for Adidas sneakers in Hong Kong? What's actually fashionable these days?
yay! project! totally self-serving, but why not when I still can.
much love xox
