Save or Splurge: Stylish Sneakers

By -

I'm really more of a high heels kind of girl, but I do love a great pair of stylish sneakers. My brown leather Diesel sneakers cost almost $90, and they were well worth it. Now, they are three years old, and it is time to find a replacement. So, I must decide – will I save or splurge this time.

While I'd like a pair as good as my Diesels, I haven't quite found anything I like. Also, I'm out of college now so I'm not wearing them as much. However, I do need a good comfy shoe.

For me, a nice, preferably leather, sneaker is a great basic that gives my feet some time off from my heels. They're fun and comfy.

Unless I fall in love with something expensive, this purchase might be right between a save and a splurge. I probably won't spend as much as I did not my Diesel sneakers but I won't go the cheap route either because I'll just have to replace them sooner.

Do you save or splurge on your stylish sneakers?

Even I would wear those Pumas.

When I worked in a warehouse, I bought cheap sneakers figuring I wouldn't wear them much outside of work, but I got what I paid for. The synthetic material made me overheat, and the lack of arch support had me hobbling around on sore feet. I then bought a nicer pair (on clearance) that was made of breathable mesh and had built in gel pads. I should really just stop buying cheap shoes.

Like you, I prefer high heels. However, I'm also very active and enjoy sports, exercise and nice, long walks. When it comes to sneakers, I splurge no doubt! You need to in order to get the right fit and style for whatever activity you might be doing. I love those pink sneakers in the picture!

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at ...

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
