Ancient Ruins







Ever had a pair of shoes that you absolutely love? How about a pair of chucks? 
These were my babies. I wore them for the last four years of high school none stop, they braved the worst winter storms and even a few falls in the lake. My mom finally convinced me to start a new era, an era where in four years time I will probably be going through the same dilemma. The thing is, they are still great and I probably won't get rid of them. They are the perfect roughed up shoe, that will make any outfit look a little rock and roll. 
 I love the contrast in these photos, there colour difference seems to mean so much more then just two opposite shoes. Old and new, young and old. Very beautiful in it's own quirky way. 
Yesterday was my birthday! I will be MIA from the blog for a few more days while I go a fun birthday trip this coming week. More pictures from my special day coming soon :)

  5. Great post! I've always loved how Converse wear over time. I get so attached that I don't want to buy another pair, but once the holes in the soles make my feet hurt I know it's time to start anew.

  9. I know the feeling! However, it helps a lot when you wash your Converses in the washing machine when things get out of hand, my white ones look brand new again :)
