I like to think of myself as open-minded when it comes to fashion trends. I may not adopt all of them, but I can at least appreciate them. But I cannot get behind the chunky/ugly sneaker thing.

I’ve never been a big fan of sneakers generally, mostly because I think they already look chunky, but now they’ve made chunky shoes even chunkier?! It’s pure madness, I tell you. I don’t even like how they look on my favorite Parisian bloggers/influencers, so that’s how I know there’s no convincing me this trend is cute.

Now, I can get behind a feminine dress/skirt and sneaker combo, but it has to be with a minimalist, low-profile shoe. Like this outfit — it would be the perfect thing to wear while conducting a ritual burning of all the big ugly trainers I can find.

Confession: I am trying to catch your attention with my recently acquired secondhand Chanel flats (!!) but I have lured you here under false pretenses. What I really want to say/ask is:

HAVE YOU MADE YOUR VOTING PLAN YET?

Here in Indiana, everyone was able to vote by mail for the primaries, but for November’s election, you have to have a special reason to vote by mail. But you can (as always) vote early at various locations. So today I looked up those locations and times, and Kristin and I picked a time to go together next week. I even sent her a calendar invite so we don’t forget!

Please please please if you haven’t already, figure out the options where you live and make a plan to vote early. Even if you live in a place where the presidential race is a foregone conclusion, there are probably state/local races where your vote will make more of a difference. Plus, like I always say, if you don’t vote, you don’t get to complain. 🙂
