Casual Summer Style: Converse Sneakers & Dresses

My Converse sneakers have become a staple in my spring & summer wardrobe - and not just with jeans and a tee! While I love wearing cute heels with my dresses, the reality is that most of the time I need a more comfortable option. And it just so happens that my Converse sneakers look super cute with dresses too.

I'm actually working on procuring a pair of Stan Smith's right now, because I think they'd be equally cute with jeans or dresses, but in the meantime I'm happy with pairing everything from shirt-dresses to flirty, frilly dresses with my Converse. Most people have the regular Chuck Taylor All Star Classic, but I find them just a tad too chunky on me when wearing them with dresses, so I prefer the slightly slimmer Chuck Taylor All Star Dainty.

The best part? They transition well from one season to the next, so you'll be able to wear them all summer long, and straight into fall!

I've clearly been on Pinterest too much lately! And this is the result. I now have 5 pairs of shoes and too many cute t-shirts that I just have to have. At least it's a nice mix of cheap and pricier (well, not even that pricey) options, so I can slowly start to add one or two pieces at a time to my closet....

Of course, the incredibly hot Adidas Superstars are on my list, as well as a replacement pair of Converse Chuck Taylors (because they go fantastic with everything including boyfriend jeans). I also have been lusting after a duster trench, some cute new tees, and a fabulous Spring blazer!

Are any of these items on your Spring wishlist too?
