struttin' around the city in our pink sneaks

happy tuesday, everyone!

these photos were taken on (what felt like!) the first

'official' spring day, following weeks of wind, rain and chilly

temperatures. jenn (fellow blogger and friend from hello rigby)

and i were thrilled to enjoy a bit of sunshine

while sipping coffee, taking outfit photos and struttin'

around queen anne in our matching pink brooks heritage sneakers.

disclosure: brooks graciously provided jenn and i with the sneakers

photographed in this post. all opinions are my own! 

in addition to taking blog photos together, jenn and i participated

in an instagram takeover on the brooks heritage page; the 

instagram story has 'disappeared,' but we had a wonderful time 

introducing ourselves to fellow brooks' followers, taking jumping 

photos (essential with boomerang!) and of course sharing 

 tips on how to style pink sneakers for spring!

if you're new to seattle, or perhaps planning a trip here, 

the iconic, kerry park, located on upper queen anne, is a must-see! 

while parking can be somewhat tricky, the view of the city

 is absolutely breathtaking. can you see the space needle? 

i feel very fortunate to call seattle home, and views like this often

remind me how beautiful this (frequently grey) city can be.

jenn and i decided to style our sneakers two ways (with

another outfit post to come): a casual and more dressy look. 

prior to meeting up, we sent a few texts back and forth, but otherwise

 we didn't plan or coordinate these outfits. however, i love

 how well they compliment one another!

on megan:

sweater: zara (exact here), jeans: who what wear for target (exact here),

crossbody purse: birthday gift from my friend, brittany!

sneakers: c/o brooks (exact here)

on jenn:

striped top & crossbody bag: cuyana, jeans: old navy,

floral bomber jacket: zara (similar here), sneakers: c/o brooks (exact here)

cropped jeans were perfect for showcasing 

the detail and color of our sneakers! when spring

begins to show herself, i am eager to dig out my ankle-bearing

bottoms. i recently picked up these cropped jeans while

shopping at target. they are incredibly soft and stretchy - essential

for an afternoon exploring the city (when coffee, donuts and

other treats may be consumed!).

i used to dislike pairing sneakers with jeans.

for some reason, it felt a bit sloppy. my opinion has 

changed (who says your style preferences can't change, too?),

and i now love the casual, yet chic appearance

of sneakers with denim. it is stylish and practical when you are 

on-the-go and crave comfort!

how do you style your sneakers?
