Wale was wrong- a young woman should be able to wear both Jordans AND Pumps (;

 *cues "The Trip (Downtown)" in the background*

Throughout my entire life up until I entered college last fall I refused to wear anything that didn't start and end with Nike or Jordan.  The way a girly girl can explain her love for Christian Louboutins is the way I can explain my love for a pair of retros.

I don't think I'll ever give up my love for sneakers, but I've definitely cut back on buying them the last year and a half.  With one of the girliest people I know as my freshman roommate (shoutout to Mckenzie Parkins), when I started going to the clubs I had to come correct.  No Js on Homecoming weekend for me, but instead my first pair of pumps (purple at that).

Boy was that the beginning of the end...

Now I'm in love with shoes.  I once used to stalk 23isback until I memorized all the release dates, and now I go on multiple sites just to see what new pumps I want to get o_O.

It's not a bad thing though, just a part of me growing into a young woman.  Can't wear sneakers to everything, although at one point I swore up and down you could. Its okay to to rock both though. Better yet, its preferred.
