On the hunt for non-dorky sneakers
So, I got a dog. Her name is Peggy and she is perfect in every way. See her cameo in My Outfit Monday this week? She's sporting fur this season. (Har, har).
As a result, I've been doing a lot of walking. And my normal running shoes are getting worn out wayyy too quickly. My girl Peggy doesn't like to scrimp on her workouts, ya'll.
I decided I need some new sneaks -- something casual. Less hardcore than I'd wear to the gym, but not dorky. Shoes I can wear out walking the hood with the Pegster, but also perhaps out running errands without looking like I drive a minivan.
I figured I'd start at Zappos, hoping by now they've got all their security kinks worked out.
Seriously, these are awesome. Leopard-print slip-on keds. Only $40.
These were in the "Athleisure" section. Sounds like what I'm looking for. Gotta love that bright pink. $55.
Did somebody say "BLING?" I don't know if I could pull these off, but darn it, I want to try. They're like an ode to Tiffany's on your feet. A little pricey, at $85, but probably worth it for the double-takes I'll get.
Thoughts?
