TOMS ;)

TOMS :) -One for One

So here I am with one of my fashion blogs! So lately I have been hooked to these shoes. I was introduced to these shoes not too long ago when I was out in Utah. My cousins had a pair of them and I thought that these were a great pair of shoes. They are light, trendy, and most important, COMFORTABLE. At first when I was going to buy these shoes, I had doubts because I have wide feet and these shoes looked like they were made for palangi feet. LOL :) So I hesitated a bit when I wanted to try them on. The clerk brought out the shoes and I wasn't looking forward to them not fitting. Putting them on at first was a big pain in the a**. But once I squeezed the heck out of my feet into these shoes, I loved the outcome. The first few times wearing them, my feet did feel a bit snug, But what happens is the material of the shoe actually expands so that the shoe can fit better. -Unless your Tasini Lavaka, then you have no hope of these shoes fitting!! HAHA :) But ever since then, TOMS have been the shoe that I go to the most. I got rid of all my VANS and other sneakers. These are my GO-TO-SHOE! I wear it with every outfit. They add that great touch and can complete any outfit from casual to dressy. I have 5 pairs; faded denim, grey, red, burlap, and black ones, and I want MORE......... 

A reason why I fell in love with these shoes is not only the look and feel, but the cause. Take a quick look at this video!!!

So not only are these shoes a great thing to have in your closet, but they are also a shoe that can make a difference in the world. I personally fell in love with the cause before I fell in love with the shoe. A way that I can become a better person in this lifetime is by trying my best to be more charitable. I don't have the resources nor the money to constantly give away to charity, but if I combine two things that I enjoy: 1. Helping others, and 2. Shopping/Fashion, then it's a win-win situation. Every time I buy a pair, I know that my purchase is useful and that I made a life a little kid somewhere out there much better. 

I try and tell my friends to go out and buy them, but they are a bit pricey! They are about $42 dollars for the regular canvas style and go up from there according to the select styles. But I say if you have the funds and want to support the cause, the go for it. Purchase yourself a pair and see how well you like them!! Most people would rather buy $100 Jordans or $200+ Coach purses, but for me, I know where my money is going to! And think of it like this, technically you are buying two pairs of shoes. The catch is, you only keep one of them :) You also receive a sticker of the logo and a flag! For me, it's a great buy!

In conclusion, I would just like to say that these shoes are pretty much the dopest things right now! So if you want to be on top of your swagger, go out and purchase yourself a pairs of these shoes! TRUST, you won't be disappointed, unless you're Tasini Lavaka and have super wide feet and can't into them, and lose the shoe box and too late to return for a bigger size!! HAHA :) Support a great cause while you're at it!!
