Trending Sneakers for Less

Think Those Shoes You Want Are Way Too Expensive? Guess Again!!

Nowadays, fashion trends are in one second and out the next. That's why I think spending over $100 on anything clothing related it pointless.
Sperry Topsiders

SPERRY TOPSIDER: One shoe brand that is popular right now in Middle School are Sperry Topsiders, classic boat shoes. Retail, these shoes sell for +$70. I got them for $20 (They were originally $40, 50% Discount) at Shoe Carnival. They're not knockoffs either. They're legit.

Nike Tennis Shoes
NIKE: The second brand that is very popular in Middle School is Nike. The most popular style is just plain ole tennis shoes. These shoes can sell for an excess of $100. Like I said above, I don't approve spending that much. I got Nike's for $60. With a 50% discount at Shoe Carnival that would be $30.

Coach Sneakers

COACH: Coach sneakers are trending right now. They typically sell around $100. I don't own any of these. However, I found some for $30 on Ebay. So make sure to check out sites like that.

CHUCK TAYLOR CONVERSE: Good ole Converse. Although, I've seen less of them around this year, they are still popular. They cost up to $75. Ebay came through for me again! I found Chuck Taylors for as low as $10

First Post

Hey! This is the first post of many on this blog. 
You have no idea how many names I had to type in before I found an available name. So diamond studded jeans wasn't my first choice but, hey, I could learn to love it. But the thing that really makes me mad is when a name that I really wanted was taken. So, just out of curiosity, I typed in the web address to look at the website.  There was 1 post on the website, saying "Hi" or "This is post number one" or "Testing", that was written 12 years ago. And I'm sitting there like, "Are you kidding me?".  Or, it'll be a blog written in Portuguese, but yet it has an English web address. 
ANYWAY, this blog is for girls around 12-15. It's about beauty, fashion, school, guys, family, friends, and other cool stuff. So, hope you enjoy!!
