Monochrome Dress and Sneakers

Here’s the thing, I was never a sneakers kinda gal. Like not ever. A dress and sneakers? What the heck is that?! You’re more likely to find me waltzing about in wedges or heels because that was just always my thing. I also never really found a sneaker that I personally thought would have looked good with a dress, or one that I was actually comfortable that I would wear. Until Sketchers launched their 90s inspired retro throwback Diamond D’Lites to celebrate their 10th anniversary.

P.S. to always have the first scoop of what’s what, you should definitely be following me @itsroxyjames on instagram, twitter & snapchat (snapcode in my side bar).

These sneakers are drop dead fun, flirty & super easy to wear- thanks to that air cooled memory foam. I have the D’Lites- Style Revamped one, but there are different types of D’Lites- all black and white with hints of sliver glam and diamond shapes etched onto them.

P.S. exact sneakers here & dress here but there are more options below you can shop from!

Not gonna lie, at first, I was super hesitant about wearing these anywhere outside the gym. But it was so easy to step out of my comfort zone because of how trendy these were & because the black colour made me feel more comfortable. I ended up loving it so much that who knows, maybe in the future you’ll see me in a totally neon coloured sneakers- or am I getting ahead of myself?

If you’re new to wearing sneakers with a dress or maybe you just don’t think you can rock it- YOU CAN! The easiest way is to stick to a monochrome theme. Andddd, you don’t get much more monochrome than black & white- an undeniably classic but sexy combo.

Honestly, it’s like the easiest and most fun thing to wear. I literally didn’t want to take this off at all. If you’ve been reading my fashion related blog posts, I’ve been going on and on about how easy it is to wear dresses. Like I love just throwing on ONE piece of clothing and waltzing around. Andddd to be honest, sneakers are really great for running errands and just dressing down- ya know, just going for a more casual look.
