Fashion Friday: Greyson’s Love for Converse Shoes
Welcome to the first post in our new Fashion Friday series! Each week, I’ll be sharing pieces from Greyson’s wardrobe, her favorite finds, and little tips for shopping with sensory needs in mind. Fashion may look different for every child, but for Greyson, it’s all about comfort, confidence, and a dash of personality.
Why Converse?
Greyson has a true love for Converse shoes. She doesn’t wear them exclusively, but they’re definitely among her favorites — and she’s built quite the little collection over the years.
I think the interest started with her big sister, who used to wear Converse all the time. Like many younger siblings, Greyson wanted to follow in those footsteps (literally!). Now, whenever we visit the Converse store, she automatically assumes a new pair is coming home with us.
What Makes Them Work for Us
- Comfort: The snug fit feels secure without being overwhelming.
- Style variety: Converse comes in so many colors and patterns that Greyson enjoys picking styles that match her mood or outfits.
- Consistency: Each pair feels familiar, which is huge for her sensory comfort.
Shopping Smart (Without Breaking the Bank)
One thing I’ve learned as a parent is that kids’ fashion can get expensive fast. I rarely spend more than $30 on a pair of Converse, and here’s how we make it work:
- Sales & coupon codes – Converse frequently runs promotions online and in stores. (Make sure to sign up for their free membership, which provides free shipping!)
- Military discount – If you qualify, they offer a discount in-store (a big help!). At the current time it’s 15%.
- Stacking deals – Pairing coupons with sales makes trendy shoes much more affordable.
Why This Matters
For kids like Greyson, fashion isn’t just about looks — it’s about comfort, confidence, and self-expression. Converse shoes have become a reliable favorite that help her feel stylish while still meeting her sensory needs. And as a parent, I love that I can support her fashion choices without overspending.
This week, Greyson is rocking her favorite Gold Converse. What about your kids — do they have a go-to shoe or brand they love?
