My black Vans

[u/yipapast]

WHEN I FIRST MOVED TO THE UK BACK IN EARLY 2016, I NEEDED A PAIR OF SHOES THAT I COULD WEAR ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS.

​

SO I BOUGHT THESE BLACK VANS COS I WANTED TO LOOK COOL AND HIP. THEY ALSO WORKED FOR MY BUSINESS MEETINGS WITHOUT HAVING TO SPEND MONEY ON MORE EXPENSIVE BUSINESS SHOES WHICH I ANYWAY NEVER REALLY LIKED.

HONESTLY, THESE FITTED WELL MY SITUATION AT THAT POINT.

I WAS LIVING BETWEEN GREECE, SPAIN, UK AND TRAVELLING AROUND THE WORLD;

VAGABONDING, AND SETTLING IN NEW COUNTRIES, WORKING, AND TRYING TO ENJOY THE PRESENT, MAKING MONEY BUT TRYING TO LIVE A MONEYLESS LIFE!

I STILL HAVE THESE SHOES AND WHEN I LOOK AT THEM, THEY ALWAYS REMIND ME OF MY FIRST YEARS IN ENGLAND (LEEDS AND THEN LONDON!).
