After running around Manhattan during Fashion Week, one trend that I spotted (and loved) on the streets was sneakers with dresses. Seriously. It’s brilliant! I actually do suffer from flat feet, and I need to rock shoes with some sort of arch support since my feet fatigue pretty easy. I’m also still a huge girly-girl however, and I cannot be separated from my dresses.

I decided to try this trend out by pairing a super bold pair of sneakers from Payless with my go-to LBD. It was a great way to dress the look down, and it was the perfect ensemble to run errands in (and grab a lunch with my mom!) The best part about these sneakers? They’re less than $35! ICYMI, Payless has a killer selection of shoes for fall that won’t break the bank. I love trying new trends but I don’t want to shell out too much money on items that are super bold and daring. 

Thank you to Payless for partnering with me for today’s post! All thoughts and opinions are my own.
