Today's Outfit: Iris Orchid Sneakers

The boy took these photos for me a couple of weekends ago while I was wearing the Dainty Chucks I received from the generous folks at Converse. Their bright purply-pink shade, dubbed 'Iris Orchid', is exactly the same colour as my beloved J. Crew no. 2 pencil skirt. Small wonder then that I've been loving these sneakers and wearing them non-stop. Although they're sleeker and more feminine than a classic Chuck lo-top, they're just as comfortable and versatile.

Lately life seems to be one never-ending to-do list, and quite frankly the endless merry-go-round of work, fashion events, and blogging is taking its toll on my spirits and energy level. What am I going to do when the homebuying stuff starts taking over my life?! This last weekend was supposed to be a weekend of great productivity, but it ended up being just the opposite. I think my body knew I needed rest more than anything else: All I ended up doing was going to yoga, napping, and watching movies. (Winter's Bone was pretty interesting, if only because I got to see Jennifer Lawrence skin a squirrel before The Hunger Games.) Sometimes lazy weekends are exactly what the doctor ordered.

    Those Chucks are so pretty! I never considered myself as a Converse wearer, but this color might change my mind. The necklace is beautiful too!

    That bag is awesome, Lisa. I would have paired it with something pink! I think the shoes are bit too much on the purple side. Like the pearl like necklace...

    Can't do converses. No support. My arches hurt. A lot of people say the same about boat shoes, but those don't bother me like converses do.

    I like the lilac converse. I almost bought a coral/peach pair.
