I needed sneakers and I did something that was so much fun! I designed my own shoes at Converse.com! I wear casual shoes all the time since my granddaughter Ellie was born so I wanted to get cute sneakers that would go with brown or black. I looked everywhere and couldn’t find any I liked. Eventually I looked online and found these at J Crew’s website…
I liked them but they didn’t have my size and I wanted ones in taupe so I could wear them with anything. I did check with my 3 daughters to make sure it was okay for me to wear these at my age! While they gave me the ok, Stephie suggested I get the Jack Purcells instead of the Chucks…I don’t know why, I just do what I’m told.
I went to the Converse website and started playing around with the Design Your Own option! It really is fun…you get to choose everything from the color of the shoe to the color of the “smile” on the toe! They even let you choose the color of the rubber on the sides! Oh, and the best part…Converse will sew a “personal ID” on the outsides of the shoes…mine says: Gigi! (Think very tiny not tacky!!!)
You gotta go to the website and take it for a spin! (HERE)
It’s true love.
Me and my Converse…
Happy Thursday
xo
I’m speechless. 🙂 Least you did something really really smart. You made sure from your daughters (you fashion police) if it was okay to wear them. I had one when she was home who walked with me close or far depending on what I wore. LOL. My other thought: where in the world do you hear about such stuff? You absolutely kill me with your creativity. Love and hugs today.

Really cute! I wonder if my fashion police would let me wear those? Gotta check out the website! Thanks!
My daughter designed her own Chucks last year. She got yellow/white/black with a cheetah print and hers say her name on the heel.
Yours are cute!
