Wannabe McFly sneakers in abandoned NYC gas stations

This outfit came together in about 10 minutes.  I woke up incredibly late for my meetings.  I just bought this James Perse dress a few weeks ago, and I knew I wanted to wear it with leggings and a jacket.  I threw this all together, and when I went for shoes I had in my hand some 5-inch Marni pumps, and then I saw my wannabe Nike McFly's.

They're so much better to run to the subway in than 5-inch Marni heels.  So I slipped them on, checked the mirror, adjusted the snaps (that's right snaps not laces!) so that they went inside of the tongue of the sneaker instead of out.  Then I grabbed my favorite, big silver jewelry to go with the silver details of the sneaks and then jetted out of the door.

The silver horse chain around my neck is a thick necklace that I bought in Seoul a few years ago.  I really get my best stuff from the street markets there.  The blazer is from Seoul as well, and is actually a men's blazer.  My shoulders are large for Americans so you can just imagine how hard it is for me to find clothes in Korea.  My Dad is pretty small, and I started to steal his cashmere v-neck sweaters when I was in high school.  Then I started buying men's clothes.  That style has stuck with me since, and it's served me well.

The cuff is a striking piece that I bought from Abby May, a New York Designer.  She sells her beautiful designs at the Emerging Designer Market in Chelsea, and that's where I picked up this great piece.

The accessories with this outfit were a blast.  Here are some closer looks.

Overall, this outfit, like many of my choices, are super comfortable.  I really think men are onto something with designer sneakers adding flair to an outfit.

Out of all of the designer sneakers I own, Nike have always been executed the best.  I have a few Pumas and Adidas, but nothing beats my Nikes in their flair.  At least not yet.

I mean.  The company that created McFly's has got to continue to be amazing.  They even look good in an abandoned gas station!
