Another one of those fashion backflips last year is wearing full-on running shoes with everything. Pencil skirts, bodycon dresses, tailored pants – anything goes. Maybe we’re seeing the influence of the walk-from-the-bus-stop-to-the-office salary woman, who’d customarily be seen in Armani down to the ankle, and then an abrupt pair of fluorescent Nike joggers. I for one would never know how to make the look work, but I what I can do is a pair of simple black and white Nike Roshe Runs – one of my favourite new purchases this year.

Apparently I wasn’t the only one to get that idea. By March this year, scarcely a single pair of black and white Nike Rosh Runs could be found anywhere. Pink, on the other hand was still up for grabs of ASOS, but that was over in like a week! I’m somewhat confident I might have purchased the last pair on Earth (not really- I’m sure they can still be backordered from Superette!).

Today’s outfit was based around these Nike Roshe Runs – in other words, black and white. My housemate dubbed this a very ‘effective’ outfit. Whatever that means, I’ll take it. And I’ve newly fallen back in love with my grey Alexander Wang Rocco duffle. Since my style has taken such a u-turn this year towards minimalism and colourlessness, it’s now my new favourite accessory.
