FRIDAY FAVORITE- SNEAKIN AROUND
I have been vacillating for about a year now on whether to buy a sneaker wedge, or a fashion sneaker. Big decision, I know! Really, I want to pull the trigger because they look so comfortable and fashionable(especially for running around or traveling), but I think I am too old to wear them. I walked into a clothing store in Dallas a couple of days ago, called Cabana (If you do not live in Dallas, but make a trip here, you HAVE to go). The owner of the store, Merry Vose and I had a conversation about this dilemma. She is a forty-something incredibly stylish woman, who has the best eye for fashion! Her store is obvious proof of this. She told me that I wasn’t too old at all. She said that everyone in Paris and New York were wearing them, even women older than me! She is a rockstar, and I would totally wear a bag on my head if she told me to!!!
I spend a lot of time on my computer these days and every store and every designer seems to be selling and making them. Just look at Neimans, Barneys, and Saks…they have tons of them. Anyway, what are your thoughts? Do you own a pair, and if so, which ones? P.S. Cabana just opened up another store called Canary, and they are carrying the sneaks by Golden Goose…very cool!

Sorry but the sneaks I wear are for comfort only – Merrells and Naturalizers. But they are kind of cute.
BTW – You are way prettier than any of these models.

Hi! I’m one of your Nashville readers. I’m almost 32 and I feel like I’m too old for the wedge sneakers. I’m saving that for the teens! However, I LOVE both of the nike pairs in the images you shared. Especially the pink and animal print! I love your blog and just wanted to you know that I’ve been keeping up with your journey and am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi Maggie! Love Nashville, and have so many good friends there! Thanks for your thoughts on the wedges. I was feeling the same way, until the owner of Cabana here got me thinking. After going through all of this cancer stuff, I think I should just live loud, and get the wedges, or an animal print!!!!! Thank you so much for reading the blog, and for your thoughts and prayers! I am a huge believer in the power of it! Have a great weekend!!!

Cathy, I recently discovered your blog through Style Blueprint. I am a Nashvillian, in my mid-40’s (well, 46, but I am going to claim that is still mid!), and I absolutely love reading your posts. You are a BEAUTIFUL woman inside and out, with grace, poise, style, and a contagious positive upbeat attitude. You are an inspiration to all women! I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers on your journey to kick cancer’s butt. And I know you WILL! Sending you a virtual hug!
