White plimsolls

I know this is no kind of a fashion blog, but I have to let you know that for me spring has officially started. No it’s not crocuses, nor is it the sound of a cuckoo in my garden. It is the official run-up to spring because I have bought the year’s first pair of white plimsolls.

It’s something I’m mildly obsessed with. I saw many summers in and out in multiple pairs of £2 sneakers from Primark, all identical, until they changed the design… So this year I’ve been forced to go completely wild and splash out £6 on their new deluxe model. If you have a similar fondness for the smell of cheap rubber then the Plimsoll$t@r flickr account which features these is the place for you:

If you’re not so keen, then please be kind enough to let me know what your ‘start of spring’ ceremony is. We’d love to know.

    Anything Ellen DeGeneres wears is good in my opinion. Big tick from me.

      Hmmm, well I’m always more thinking of Baby in Dirty Dancing, teamed with some ankle-shy jeans. I was going to post a reference photo with the post but instead got drawn into watching interviews with Jennifer Grey post-nose op on youtube.
