And I’m back with the final look from Classics Week with the kind folks over at Vans and Vans Girls! 40 years later and the Vans slip-on remains a true classic and staple in any closet! I remember buying my first pair of checkerboard slip-ons at the ripe age of 17! #MyVans had been taking over my closet after I started working at my local Vans store, and a pair of checkerboard slip-ons felt like a must. Today, over ten years later — I still have that very same pair in my closet and love the story they tell. They’ve seen me through my teen years, college, grad school, our wedding, and all the years and memories that have come since.
 

#MyVans are a part of me and I couldn’t feel more thankful to be able to partner with brand that resonates with every inch of who I am! And now I’m gonna cry, ya’ll — but I promise these are happy tears! It’s been so rad to share my own Vans stories with you guys, and I’ve loved reading all about your own — so many good memories of the past, present — and now, onto the future!

I hope ya’ll enjoyed these posts as much as I did! My girl, Chelsea, also shared some super cute looks featuring Vans on her Instagram — be sure to check them out for an extra dose of inspiration! And don’t forget, there’s still time to show Vans and Vans Girls some love — show us how you style your own slip-ons by sharing a photo with #MyVans! Happy Wednesday, and I’ll be back soon!
