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!

No.17 A Hippo Never Forgets

In the madness that is my 35 in 31 challenge, I keep forgetting to post my saved shoes!
This is pair 17! Oh man it's more than halfway through the year and I still have dozens of shoes to save. I need to get on that!
I wore these lace flats to hang out with my family, thus the awkward posing on my grandma's couch. haha.
Well I'm off to get back to my challenge, in the meantime, I'm thinking of doing a whole week's worth of summer concert posts, which also have saved shoes! :)
