Sperry Topsiders






Sperry Topsiders have been an American favorite since 1935. Paul Sperry was inspired by his dog Prince's paw and came up with a design to maximize traction. The original shoe, in it's variations, goes in and out of mainstream fads every now and then, but for truly classic dressers, coastal folk, and preps alike, this shoe never goes out of style. My tried and true Original 2-eye and Bluefish 2-eye have lasted me 8 years so far and have no signs of giving up anytime soon.I don't really wear mine with jeans, but these shoes are my go to when I wear chino pants and shorts. Also NO SOCKS! (-:

I received a pair of super comfy pink sperrys from a family I babysit for at Christmas this year (love that they know me so well!) and it had me curious on other new offerings. I just checked out the site a few weeks ago and found some fun options, including a collaboration with one of my favorite brands, Milly! They also had a few other cute options. I can't make up my mind! Want em all!

The Sun'll Come Out Tomorrow!

So today I haven't felt particularly fashion forward or anything. It's gloomy and chilly. I pretty much have a "go to" look on days like these....striped shirt+ non-denim type of pants+ quilted jacket+boots. I don't know why, it's just my comfy standby when I can't get by wearing yoga pants and a pullover!
