"Flowers @ My Feet" Shoes.

Fashion Disclaimer-This refashion will not appeal to everyone.This refashion is not meant to be high fashion.... or even fashion at all. If you find all things '70's distasteful, unappealing and the era that fashion forgot......leave this page now.


Ummm..... so Jodes of "OMG No! Fashion Disasters" if you just happen to stumble across this refashion through my pinterest page, ummm hmmm it might be better that you just skip it.


Okay great.....Fashion Disclaimer out of the way, I can now start with this refashion.



Before.
1970's Suede and leather burnt orange shoes. Purchased at a thrift store for $10.00. Okay, this is a bit more than I usually pay for thrift store shoes, but these came with the wooden/metal vintage shape keeper device. Now these are nice to start with but they are just missing a little bit of Mezzy magic.


After.
"Flowers @ My Feet" shoes now have the little bit of Mezzy magic that makes them quirky and fun to wear.

I love fabric on shoes redos. In fact that is my next project too.
Looks great.

Shoe-wise, not my style, but I dig the fabric you used. A LOT!! I'd wear them anyways if I had cool matching bell bottoms to go with :) nice job!!

Thanks for the feedback. The shoes are not really my style either. I actually wanted the vintage wooden stretchers that were in them.
Bat Ma'am I think that I am going to go with your suggestion and use the rest of this awesome fabric on a pair of jeans or denim skirt.
I have always felt that if you believe in what you wear(and commit to that look)....then you can carry it off.

I'm a big fan of shoe re-do's, so you get a thumbs up from me! I agree with above, your fabric choice is perfect with these shoes
