Rain Dance

As of lately, the weather around here has been nothing but a series of cloudy rainy days. It's definitely a blogging nuisance as it makes it difficult to take pictures and the pictures I do take turn out grey and grainy like some of these are (sorry!). I do, however, love the way it reflects the light off of the sidewalks leaving a glittering effect almost everywhere you go. I've never been to Paris, but I can only imagine how beautiful The City of Lights must be after a storm. The pavements there must really glow. Speaking of Paris, I've noticed that tennis shoes have become quite the Parisian style staple. It was, after all, French fashion blogs that have left me longing for a pair of Air Force 1 high tops since early this summer. Normally, I would style this outfit with some ivory granny booties channeling a Christian Dior Fall 2012 style, but with some new inspiration I switched it up with some Nike's for this look du jour. My motto when it comes to sneakers? Keep your Converse dirty and your Nike's fresh. I'm pretty sure it's a universal standard.
