Hello everyone and welcome to a brand new OOTD here on lifewithlilred! As a child I coveted wheelie shoes so badly and I’m pleased to report that I got them as an almost thirty-two year old lol. SCORE! I had been so eager to break them out and I’ve got to say, rollerskating is way harder than I anticipated. As a former figure skater, I thought I would have had a slight leg up but that was not the case whatsoever. But practice makes perfect and I can’t wait to continue taking my wheelies for a spin and improving. Big ups to anyone who roller skates well because your girl is impressed! At least I looked cute in my valiant attempt to skate…
Who? What? Wear?
Sports Bra: This was purchased forever ago from Target
Jean Shorts: American Eagle Outfitters
Hoop Earrings: Argentino Vivo, TJMaxx
Wheelie Shoes: ANEFUN, Amazon
Good ol’ Akron, Ohio has finally been treated to warm weather after an entire spring of chilly and rainy days. It has been absolutely delicious to go outside and see the sun rather than it constantly feeling like it is six o’clock in the evening! Since it has been so nice, I was able to sport a sassy little something to take my wheelies to the streets. I don’t have much in my wardrobe in terms of athletic wear but I figured a sports bra and shorts would do just fine.
Speaking of not having a lot of athletic wear, this is literally the only sports bra I own but it has served me well to hit the gym or ice skate in. I definitely had to take the padding out and I still like to wear an actual bra underneath it but your girl needs the extra support! So I guess this sports bra is more like a crop top instead lol. And what pairs better with a crop top than a cute little pair of jean shorts?! As always, the shorts from American Eagle Outfitters are the bomb and I live in them all summer long. They fit like a glove, are so comfy, and this reminds me that I could probably benefit from another pair or two!
Finally, it was onto shoes and accessories. Of course, pictured are my ANEFUN wheelie babes that I love oh so much. They are just so funky and cool and I appreciate their extra height even without the wheels down. Sans wheels they look like platform sneakers and that really speaks to my constantly wearing heels heart. For accessories, I went with a supersized pair of hoop earrings by Argentino Vivo to add some movement once the rollerskating portion of the photo shoot began. The movement provided by the earrings was top tier. The movement of me in skates? … Not so much! SMH.
Be sure to peep my TikTok for action videos of me trying to skate. Maybe by the end of summer I’ll actually be able to keep myself upright in them! #goals
Do you like rollerskating? What is your favorite summertime activity? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah
