I never thought I’d embrace sneakers the way I have lately- let alone wear them with a dress, but when an outing to the park calls for something more casual than pointy toe flats, a girl’s gotta make it work!
The sweater tied around the waist reminds me of my fifth grade self, and while I swore I wouldn’t give in to this trend either, I’m kind of loving it. And who knew (when worn at the smallest part of your waistline) it could be so slimming?!
