Business Sneakers. Chapter 1.


If you're like me, nothing is finer than spotting a business lady keeping it real and comfortable in some bright white sneakers on her commute to and from work. She doesn't care what you think. She's a walking wardrobe oxymoron and proud of it. She loves the Bridget Jones movies, TJMaxx, and her sage green couch from Pottery Barn's 1997 collection. She also likes Sex and the City, but just when it's rerun on TBS because she doesn't need to see all that thrusting.  Also, she'd like her mom to stop asking her if she's met anyone promising lately. Her life isn't terribly exciting, but dang it if she isn't gonna be comfortable living it. 

NOTE: Bonus points if she's in a skirt suit with some thick and shiny pantyhose. Bonus bonus points for scrunchy sweat socks from the 80s. 

This little prize to the left isn't a Business Sneakers Seekers dream, but she's the first one I caught on 'film,' so she'll have to do for now. She was waiting for the 135 bus on Wacker and Columbus around 5:30 on 8/14 (prime biz sneak spotting time is 5:04 pm to 5:47 pm). I hope that I can trust my people to help me top her. Just keep your eyes and iphones open, friends. She's out there, going almost unnoticed, like that alien in 'Signs' that runs through that kid's birthday party, only caught by videotape.
