When I was a teenager, my footwear of choice was always Converse.  I had bright ones, plain ones, printed ones, even tie dye ones, but for some unknown reason I stopped wearing them a few years ago, and moved on to boots and heels.  But all that changed when I spotted this pair of beauties on the John Lewis website…

This particular pair of Hi-Tops are a new style, and are made of soft black suede, so they’re a bit warmer and a bit thicker, but just as comfortable and casual as their canvas counterparts.  They also feel really soft and luxurious to the touch.  What first drew me to them was the all over polka dot print as I’m crazy about polka dots, and I love the combination of large and small silver dots. The grey laces are also a nice touch, as they blend in better than the usual glaringly white laces.

I’ve worn these almost every day this week, and I’ve had a lot of fun styling them in different ways. One day I wore them with jeans and a jumper, another day with a skater dress and leggings, and yesterday with a somewhat smarter dress, and they looked great with everything.  That’s the beauty of Converse… They’re just so versatile!

I’ve well and truly fallen back in love with Converse All Stars, and I’m looking forward to wearing my polka dot pretties all Spring long.  I have a new black mini skirt that I can’t wait to pair them with!  You can find these and many other Converse styles online at John Lewis.
