Sporty Spice OOTD

Sporty Spice OOTD

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…

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

If The Shoe Fits: ANEFUN Wheelies Edition

Hello everyone and welcome to a brand new edition of If The Shoe Fits! As you all know, I live in heels during the weekend. During the work week when I am out and about with clients or on a content shoot, however, is when I wear a sad pair of Nikes that were purchased around fifteen years ago when I was in my PacSun era. For the past several months, my Nikes began falling apart and the sole of one of them finally came clean off when I was at the gym. My sneakers had a good run but it was time for something new. Something different. Something with wheels? Oh yeah!

Wheelie shoes became popular in my childhood and I coveted them so badly. I never did get a pair but that’s okay because I got one now at the tender age of almost thirty-two lol. These ANEFUN wheelie sneakers hit me right in the childhood and I can’t wait to bust them out to walk or skate around town! Check it out:

Am I any good at rollerskating? No. Do I care? Absolutely not because these shoes are just pure FUN! I was hopeful that these could double as regular old tennies for my family vacation to Italy but they are, admittedly, pretty clunky. I’ll have to get a normal pair of walking shoes for that, which isn’t as fun as shopping for heels but it is still shoe shopping at least! 😀 Until then, these ANEFUN shoe skates will work just fine. I adore the pastel pop colors against the stark white and when the wheels are up they are like wearing platform sneakers which I am all about. These bad boys are funky, so unique, and transforming them into skates is as easy as pressing the button on the heel. I haven’t taken my skates to the streets yet but I have been practicing in my apartment where the only person who will laugh at me if I fall is Johnny lol. I’m pleased to report that that hasn’t happened yet. 🙂

If you are interested in these shoes for yourself, then heed my warning: Order a size down! I am a true blue size six and that is what I ordered. I was ecstatic when they arrived in the mail and then was immediately disappointed when I realized how big they were by a half a size at the bare minimum. I returned them and ordered a five, instead, and they are actually a bit big too but that problem will be solved by doubling up on ankle socks. These shoes were advertised for women and children but there is NO way a child could fit them when the smallest size had wiggle room for me. Proceed with caution for the sizes and proceed with caution in general because I am one thousand percent sure my butt will be on the pavement at some point when I skate in them!

There is nothing better than making a purchase that your childhood self would freak out over and my inner child definitely is! A trip to the Sketchers store will be in order for a classic pair of tennis shoes but I am going to be wearing my wheelies as often as possible. Be on the lookout for a new OOTD featuring them soon!

What was a toy or clothing item you really wanted as a child? Did you ever end up getting it? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah
