Happy 2016 loves! Can you believe that we are already seven days into the New Year? This is my first blog post of the year, and I’m super excited to be teaming up with DSW Shoes to style a pair of grey Converse Chuck Taylor All Star sneakers. These have actually been one of my favorite casual shoes for years because not only are they comfortable, but they also look great with just about anything. So I was definitely excited to review and share my thoughts on the shoe. I usually pair my Converse with jeans or shorts, but I decided to switch it up and wear them with a sleek black dress for a chic look.

Here, I paired the grey Converse with black because it adds contrast to a neutral color scheme. It’s not too loud and flows perfectly. Try this mix and match of colors to spice up your outfit. It’s perfect for date night, a day at Disney World or shopping day. Plus, they are very comfortable and can be worn for a long period of time without hurting your feet. I usually don’t wear socks with mine if I have on a dress, but you can always add loafer socks if you feel that is more comfortable. Here’s a helpful tip: When going sockless, I like to sprinkle baby powder in my shoe to keep my feet from sweating and sticking.

Shopping at DSW Shoes has been a plus over the years because they offer such great discounts and savings on designer shoes. If you were to compare the DSW Shoes price to the original price for the Converse, you can save 10%, which is always awesome. This year, I’m going to be sharing more beauty hacks and awesome sales from many of my favorite brands and stores. I’m so excited to share this first one with you to kick off the New Year!

At DSW, we believe that shoes have the power to bring out something great in everyone. So no matter who you are or how you dress, we’ve got just what you need.
