I was in desperate need of some casual flats a few months ago but the few mediocre pairs I came across while shopping weren't hot enough to shell my little pennies on.

I cut four rectangular leather strips (two for each shoe)

Glued them together

Found some old pearls and crystal beads and strung them together

Sewed them onto the bow

Sewed the bow onto the show and Viola!

My pockets are happy and so are my feet!

I've been away for way too long...but I've resolved to tone down the procrastinator and laziness in me (ain't giving it up entirely :-) so hope fully the vintage blogging will commence.

More vintage inspiration...
More DYI (for my broke-phi-broke sistren)
More DeConstructed vintage items...

But no matter how lazy I am, the Etsy store is always up and running!

Yes, I got my vintage itch back...stay tuned for new stuff :-)
