Electric Salmon


     The other day at work, somebody asked me what color these shoes were.  I told them I thought they were neon salmon, and R later made the name even better at "electric salmon".  If we ever start a band that's going to be the name.
Outfit details: Sneakers - Nike (gift from R) // Dress - thifted // Top - Volcom // Tights - Marshalls // Scarf - Target // Beanie - H&M
Anyway, I've been wearing sneakers a lot lately because I have a sore foot and my normal footwear seems to make it hurt worse.  While I love sneakers with leggings and other workout attire, I have a hard time styling every day outfits with them!  Does anyone else feel this way? I think the outfit has to have a certain amount of sportiness to it, but as I wore this to work I also didn't want it to look like I was on my way to the gym.  I also wanted it to still feel like "me"! If you guys have styled any cute outfits based around sneakers, share the link in the comments because I would love to check it out for future inspiration! Hope you're all having a great start to the week!

  2. I love those sneakers! I need some bright colored running shoes, I think they're so fun! Electric Salmon is definitely the perfect name. And such a good band name too haha I'm always coming up with random names for bands :) I'm horrible at styling things with sneakers, I just can't do it haha. But I think you did an awesome job here!

  3. I think you pulled off the cute outfit with sneakers, which can be hard.

  4. I feel like I can never pull off trainers (or sneakers!) and desperately need to try as I have feet problems too :( its harder in winter I think! But these look fun on you. I think the key is to not try and make the discreet but own the fact you are wearing them! xox

  5. Even though sneakers are hard to style--if you figure out some secrets, please post about them!--at least the color is fabulous :) Electric salmon indeed. I'm watching for your first album ;P

  8. I most definitely have a hard time styling up more athletic sneakers, which is probably why I don't own a pair (the closest thing I have are converses). I love how your coordinated the colors here though! Electric Salmon is the PERFECT name for that shade.

  9. This post made me smile. That's the perfect name, 100% indicative of the colour of these shoes.

  10. Oh my gosh I love your Nikes! I have a hard time styling "workout" shoes with outfits but I like a fun challenge. I spend a good portion of my day in workout attire (;
