When I was in middle school, the “it” shoe to have were Jack Purcell’s, by Converse. I remember very clearly saving up money to get the white leather ‘platform’ style that all the cool girls were wearing. Many years later, I forgot all about my love for these shoes. I recently rediscovered them a few days ago by seeing them on a girl in the bookstore and my appreciation came back! They are so cute and stylish, and I believe a classic staple that every girl should have. They go so perfect with a great pair of jeans and a casual tee, and are incredibly versatile since they go with almost any color. Plus for only $55 it’s a great deal. So grab your pair of Jack’s and revisit the classic. 🙂

My friends and I had a time in college where we were obsessed with these too. Total classic.
Love these! If only I knew how to keep them white!!!
If only they were cheaper. My parents are missionaries, can’t exactly afford 50 dollar shoes. My shoe that is the most expensive was 20 dollars. Most of them are about7$ though.
Hey Maddie- where do you get your shoes usually, and how old are you?
I can’t find the platform style anymore, I had a white leather that I used til the end… any suggestions on where to buy the platform style?
I’m not sure.. can you just check Nordstrom or google platform converse?
Converse are my favourite brand of shoes too! =] It’s so true that they do go with many things.
I Love Converse. I have two pairs. 🙂
