I ♥ Converse

Call it a weakness, call it an obsession...I love Converse sneakers. I wear them almost daily, so a constant rotation is needed based on my mood or ensemble. You can always count on a comfortable fit, classic style, and the ability to show your individual personality through the wide array of choices. Last week was a tough week...in the Converse world anyways. I lost my favorite pair-they bit the dust. I literally walked the sole's off them. This particular pair combined two of my love's, Converse sneakers and pin-up girls. My black, Sailor Jerry's lived a good life, and I decided I'd look for another pair on the internet. I wanted to keep their legacy alive. Unfortunately, they're gone...discontinued and gone forever. What else was left for them? Nothing I decided, and into the garbage they went. That's how it ended until Thursday night. I decided I just couldn't let them go, so I dug them out of the garbage and got a pair of scissors. I attacked the sides and cut the pin-up girls out of them. They will be resurrected and see a new life, I'm sure of it. How??? Well, I'm not sure. Maybe I'll make them into patches or sew them onto a new pair of shoes or a cardigan. To be honest, I haven't really decided. All I know is they will live another day. I'll share their new life once I figure out what exactly that is...stay tuned.
