      my concept 
        useful, economical, modular pieces that can be mix-matched in numerous 
        ways (because why can't fashion be useful and lasting? I think 
        it can!) So I say Maximize your Minimalism!

        alas, the sneaker. (because I live in nyc and walk a ton!) but not too 
        sneakery of a sneaker. more of a sneaker disguised as a shoe, like a mary 
        jane style or a high-tech looking black one with a metallic accent. how 
        about Royal Elastics? I must go try some on. I really like the non-sneakeryness 
        of their styles.
