Confession #12: My new, old Converse

Confessions
In an attempt to be perfectly attired for the Ducks game last week I bought a pair of black Converse.  My goal is to have a standard Ducks outfit I wear to each game.  I  also do the same thing for Disneyland (and sadly, no, that's not my confession). 

I settled on an orange shirt, black cardigan sweater, jeans, and black Converse–it's a kind of retro/Ducks/Clash inspired look.  The only problem was, the Converse looked too new: screaming white laces and perfectly clean heels are a dead giveaway I just bought the shoes. Can't have that.

So, to "dirty them up" a bit I took an old black mascara wand and dotted it all over the shoes then rubbed it in. Then I took some brown eye shadow and smeared it here and there for a "these shoes have been through it all" kind of effect.  

When I got to the game I was telling Sara about what I did and it occurred to me that I did all those shenanigans so my new shoes wouldn't make me look like a dork, but, ironically, BECAUSE I did all that shenanigans, I AM precisely that–a dork.  

**sigh**
