It’s time for the third installment of Songful Style and it was Michelle’s turn to pick the tune. She chose the very catchy blues song “Hi-Heel Sneakers” by Tommy Tucker. You can find the full lyrics and other song details in this post.

About Songful Style

Songful Style is a new ageless style challenge series hosted by Suzy of The Grey Brunette, Shelbee of Shelbee on the Edge, Michelle of My Bijou Life, Marsha of Marsha in the Middle, and Anne of Spy Girl. 

Each month we will share a song with the lyrics and video and we invite you to use whatever aspect of the song that inspires you to create an outfit. 

It is similar to Style Imitating Art where we use artwork to inspire our outfit creations. Except Songful Style gives you lyrics, music, video, and album artwork to inspire your fashion creativity. You may even find inspiration in a memory triggered by the selected song. It is all open to your own personal interpretation and just a fun way to discover new music and get a little bit more creative with your wardrobe.

Anyone is welcome to join us on a permanent basis or you can just play along without any obligation to do anything other than feel inspired. We are flexible and fun and just want to find more ways to play dress up because it’s what we enjoy doing! 

We will be posting on the last Monday of each month and will announce our song choice for the following month at the end of each post.

Of all the things that are heaped and piled and shoved and stored between my closet room and my basement, there is not a single pair of high heel sneakers. My husband couldn’t get over it when I told him I had to style an outfit inspired by a song called “Hi-Heel Sneakers”. In fact, he even suggested I buy a pair of high heel sneakers specifically for this challenge. But I refused because I just don’t think high heel sneakers are really my jam.

Instead, I focused on the opening line of the song, “Put on your red dress, baby.” Well, red dresses I have so that was an easy enough task. But the whole idea of sneakers remained in my head so I thought a sporty red dress would be best.

This red sweatshirt dress is a tad too big on me so I tied a black hoodie around my waist to cinch it. I just got this hoodie at the Umphrey’s McGee concert in Asheville in February and it immediately became my favorite thing to wear. I wear it around the house nearly every day unless it is being laundered. I was happy to incorporate it as an accessory in this fun outfit.

Then I paired it with some high heel boots that sort of resemble sneakers in a Sporty Spice kind of way. My over the knee red tube socks give the boots much more of a sneaker vibe, I think.

I did not leave any fashion reference from the song lyrics go unacknowledged. There is the line “And-a bring along some boxin’ gloves in case some fool might wanna fight,” so I added my handy black fingerless gloves. They are probably not that great for fighting, but I am much more of a lover anyway.

There is also the line that says, “Wear your wig-hat on your head”. Well, I don’t own an actual wig-hat, but I do have lots of other hats so I added my black and white newsboy cap for a little extra something.

And there you have it…my outfit inspired by “Hi-Heel Sneakers”. How did I do?

The next song for our May 30, 2022, post is “Hello, Goodbye” by the Beatles chosen by Marsha because she loves the Beatles and wanted one of their songs for her first pick. Tomorrow I will share more details including lyrics, video, and other inspirations that I can find relating to the song.
