Double Take: Chuck Taylor All Stars

The Chuck Taylor is back in full force... Well, technically they never left, but you see what I'm getting at here. These iconic canvas sneakers were made grossly popular in the 60's and are now making their way back into the style spotlight. The sole reason these shoes remain so timeless is their versatility! They seriously seem to go with everything from the frilliest of summer dresses to skinny jeans and t-shirts. They come in thousands of different colours and patterns and they're a great investment piece because they aren't going anywhere any time soon! I for one, couldn't be happier about it! As a sporty girl at heart, I love that I can dust off my chucks from grade seven and work them back into my updated wardrobe. Want to incorporate this comfortable alternitive into your wardrobe? Here is some inspiration for your inner tomboy!

love me a good pair of chucks. I have the all black ones, and all black leather ones next I want to purchase the classics, the all white and the black and white.

Oh no! I almost bought that clutch yesterday and then decided to think of my bank balance rather than my closet ... now I think I'll have to revisit. Uh-oh!
