A pair of yellow Vans Off The Wall sneakers.
I'm actually not a sneakers sort of person. I have nothing against sneakers but I'm not the sporty type at all and it just makes me feel awkward. But then, maybe it's just because I have big feet. Whatever. I actually sort of envy other girls who are able to carry off wearing sneakers. They actually look good. But I'm quite a
I own only one pair of rubber shoes and it's about 5 or 6 years old. I hardly use them.
The last time I owned a pair of sneakers I think I was in high school or maybe first year college. That's a good 9-10 years ago.
So you see, I'm the last person you would imagine to go out and buy a pair of sneakers. So, why you may ask, did I do just that today? Believe it or not, there's a weird story behind it.
One day while commuting in the MTR, I had this really weird urge of wanting yellow Lacoste sneakers. I have no clue where that thought came from as I hadn't seen any such sneakers in recent memory. But, imagine my surprise, when after a few minutes of walking, as I was standing in line, I saw right in front of me a girl wearing... yellow Lacoste sneakers! Freaky or what? Haha.
So a few days later, I chanced upon a sports store and saw a pair of yellow Lacoste sneakers. Exactly what I had in mind. It was a bit pricey though and I felt getting them was a bit silly if I based it all on a random thought.
However, even after a few weeks, I still kept thinking about those bright colored sneakers. So today, I finally went back to the sports store only to discover that the yellow Lacoste sneakers were sold out. There were only red and blue left and they didn't appeal to me at all. But glad I saw these Vans ones and I was hooked. They're a few hundred dollars cheaper too so gooo! :)
I think they actually look quite cute. I don't feel as awkward in sneakers anymore. Maybe because they're yellow? Or maybe that random thought just converted me.
I love my new sneakers!:)
