Its that time of the year where i start (or try) to wear spring/summer clothes to get into that warm weather mindset. Every time i go vintage shopping, I like to make smart decisions and get things I would wear over and over again- so i got an oversized plaid Burberry inspired print, coz one can never have too much plaids. Plus, i can actually wear this as corporate attire or just pair it with baggy jeans. Button down shirts are essentially my go-to for key pieces that would last for a long time.

I hate the heat, despite me being born on summer. Sometimes i just go out and wear a short shorts. Sometimes, they think im wearing no shorts at all hahahah

I got a bunch of band tees collection in my closet and some have been with me for a decade or so. I am also very particular with the band shirts I collect--- I must be inlove with the band and their songs. I keep them updated coz an oversized vintage band/rock start shirt, pair of pants and Jordan 1s does the no-brainer look for me. I mean, we cant go wrong with an all black look and a pop of colour! Add some hoop earrings to still keep it girly-ish. I am far from done with my blog drafts clean up, all style entry must be up before the year ends. This is me, guilty of my false promises to all my readers. I guess there are some NY resolutions that you just cant keep :<

Deets.

The first kind of sneakers I collected were Chuck Taylors and Vans. In HS, it was a smart thing to do because they were way cheaper and I was into skating and biking for a short time (until i wasnt haha). I was also into hiking in my mom's province so obviously, I needed beaters. Sneakers for me was a thing I could abuse and replace. Only 2 years back, I started collecting Nike Air Jordan shoes. I admit it, they are reallyyyy expensive. They are luxury shoes that I don't even wear when it rains! I dont play basketball with them, they look too pretty to abuse. I guess the positive side of it is that I have learned to value and clean my own shoes, in short- I became responsible in taking care of my things. I also love the fact that girls from my city don't have the same shoes as me. My Jordan collections are dead-stock and OGs. I do own a few overrated shoes like Superstars and Skate-His but they are my beaters. Wow sneaker talk, I must have been a boy in my past life. Lol. Owning my first Jordans was a game changer. I know it wouldn't be my last. It's like finding my own SOLEmate shoes... -.-

Jordan 1 Royals are surprisingly not my first Js. This was my second pair but I love it. The classic silhouette and the perfect color got me hooked. Although they get uncomfortable after wearing it for hours, its a guaranteed head turner based on experience. Its also a conversation starter. Apparently, people would call you "sneaker head" more often when you wear Jordans than any other kind of shoes. Its a fact. A piece of advice when you are confused in picking your first Jordans: go for Jordan 1s, may it be the hi's or the lows.  You can never go wrong with it.


What i wore: Forever 21 brim hat & jumpsuit; GAP denim jacket; Nike Jordan 1 shoes

Should I blog about my sneaker/ shoe collection and how I take care of it?!
