Supposedly, I live in the hippest hipster community in the country (Twin Cities), and chucks are definitely the way to go. I picked up an awesome bright purple pair of high tops at a thrift store for $6 (in Las Vegas... around here, no one would give them to a thrift store...).

When I wear them, I sometimes feel like a dorky mom trying to look like a college kid again. But I still love 'em, especially the color!
