"Since I&amp;#x27;m constantly running around the city and downtown L.A getting errands done, I don&amp;#x27;t like to always wear heels, wedges or platforms. I&amp;#x27;ll be honest: as stylish as I may look wearing them, they can definitely be very tiring and exhausting especially when I have to get a lot done and walk everywhere!That&amp;#x27;s why I can always rely on my favorite pair of sneakers when I&amp;#x27;m not in the mood to wear heels. I still like dressing up even if I&amp;#x27;m not having a day of work or meetings, but I love to throw on my Converse because I know I want to be comfortable-yet-chic. Adding studs to your Converse shoes can easily transform them into something cooler and it adds a unique touch to your overall look. I wore one of my favorite blazers (from H&amp;amp;M&amp;#x27;s Conscious Collection) with a full skirt; the sneakers dressed down the whole outfit, making it easier for me to run around! Many boutiques carry studded converse sneakers, but they&amp;#x27;re ridiculously expensive at over $200! I definitely can&amp;#x27;t spent that much on sneakers. DIY-ing the look is a lot cheaper, fun and the feeling is rewarding knowing that you did them yourself! All you need is: A bag of studs, any size or color A pair of pliers Just place the studs on the outside of the shoe, pressing against the fabric and using your pliers press down to tighten the stud! Extremely easy, just a bit time consuming but definitely worth it! Good luck studding your converse away!
