Last week, I had a pretty cool opportunity to merge two of my favorite things (sneakers + empowering/connecting women) as I played co-host with Reebok Women and Reebok Classics for an intimate evening here in Dallas.

We teamed up with Reebok to invite 15 amazing women out for a good meal, great conversation, and a sweet scenery at Del Frisco's Steakhouse in Downtown Dallas. Their Salmon was amazing, btw. Luckily, I was able to snap a few shots before we got started and before the sun disappeared from view.

I opted to keep it simple and semi-casual because I made moves to a local reverse happy hour after the dinner. Also, I wanted to be chic, but be comfortable as well. I haven't had a pair of culottes since high school so, when I spotted these babies on BooHoo, I thought I'd give them a try. Typically I find AMAZING deals on BooHoo because they're always offering ridiculously good promo codes. For me, that means I can try a new style without too much hesitation because I won't be breaking the bank.

Right now, you can get 50% off of EVERYTHING on the site. Seriously.

Of course I had to bring out my Classics for the occasion! I actually got this pair of Reebok Classic Leathers a few months ago at a Reebok gifting event here in Dallas. They suited the evening and the outfit perfectly. Plus, I'm hella here for the gum soles.

Now, I'm thinking about grabbing a black/white and blue/white Nylon pair ASAP. These are definitely comfortable and easy on your budget.

I had a great time with the folks at Reebok and the amazing women that joined me last Thursday evening. And, I'm hoping to do it again soon - perhaps in a different city. For everything I'm rocking (I spent under $70 for my entire outfit - jean jacket included) you an shop the links below.

Stay tuned for our video recap from the evening! That'll drop this week and I'll be sure to link it here when it's up!
