Thrifted & Altered: Black and Purple Lace Shoes




My first official thrifted and altered post is finally here!
I bought these white satin shoes at Salvation Army a while back with the intention of dying them a pale lavender, but the purple dye took a little too well to the satin and I was left with bright orchid pumps.

With no intention of being defeated by dye, I decided to wrap them in lace instead! Just a few pins and drops of super glue held  the lace perfectly and I'm super happy with the way they turned out!





Thanks for reading!
Come back Wednesday for another brand new Thrifted and Altered post!

J'aime ! Et quelle patience, ce ne doit vraiment pas être facile d'épouser la forme des escarpins, bravo, le résultat est époustouflant !
