OK, so I admit it. I'm not the most athletic or active person in the world. I enjoy wearing stilletos, knee-high boots, and cute little ballerina flats with ribbons and bows. However, I have come to the earth-shattering realization that I cannot wear these types of shoes all the time. This fact has broken my heart...but I must go on and try to make the best of this catastrophe.

My solution to this dilemma, while still looking fierce and fabulous walking back and forth on campus, is to start wearing practical sneakers [Insert sounds of terror here].

I know, I know what you are all thinking: "Why on earth would she want to wear some ratty old sneakers?" My answer to all of you who are sneaker-phobes as well is that all sneakers are not created equally! With a little research I have even found some pairs that are [gasp] CUTE! Yes, I said it, CUTE. And I believe that all of you will appreciate these styles as well. So, go ahead now and find yourself a pair of kicks and rest the toosies! Lots of designers make adorable tennis shoes, and I'm sure that everyone will be able to find a pair to suit themselves.
