Now, I must say, this was not my original idea. The inspiration came from my very creative sister-in-law, Molly, who spray painted an old pair her shoes a while back. I loved the idea so I decided to give it a go.
I used a pair of shoes I got from good 'ol JCP a few years ago. I love the style of the shoe but I'm not crazy about the color so don't wear them as much as I'd like.
The process went a little something like this....I taped the heels / inside of the shoe and just started spraying away with the metallic gold paint. Easy stuff here!!!
Lola decided she wanted to spray a pair of hers too. Why not?!?!?!
I grabbed some laces from American Apparel and I absolutely LOVE the result!
They're fabulous with jeans too...
So there you go! I took a pair of shoes I really never wore and turned them into a shoe I'll wear like crazy! I even got a few pair of laces which I can switch in and out depending on the outfit. The great part about the laces is I'll put them in other shoes for both me and Lola. If you don't want to go all the way with the spray paint, a new lace is another great way to spice up an old pair of shoes.
If you like this, you should also see where my inspiration came from via Smmidge.
Oh, and guess what?!?!?! I have more fun projects up my sleeve. Hopefully you'll see the result shortly.
Happy weekend all!!!
