Twinkle toes....


 
 
As soon as Britain's PM Theresa May hit the political scene she became my shoe idol.. No matter how mundane and "grown up boring" her outfit is, she wears shoes that rock.. and of course is constantly criticized over them.. Most always flats or a sensible heel, she has a never ending supply...much to my delight...

I've always loved pretty shoes but always plagued with foot problems and all my shoes are chosen by comfort first but I want to change that .... a bit anyway.  I always have a pair of fun red shoes.. but I have my granddaughter's wedding coming up in the spring and I'd like a snazzy pair of shoes...... I mean really snazzy so I started surfing the internet.  I can remember in the 70s everyone was covering their shoes with fabric to match their outfits and there are Youtubes that show you how to do that...





There are directions for covering shoes with fabric or lace, directions on covering them with jewels, and for decoupage and painting.




















I am thinking I could handle a very low heel and I am drawn to the shoes with the buckles.
I have good luck with finding new shoes at the thrift stores so if I start now I should be in good shape.





Like this one but with a sturdier heel.















More like this heel.



And I  REALLY love the absolute maximum of color like these below.. So one pair will sure to be painted or decoupage and maybe a second pair bejeweled.












In my dreams I would dance all night in these..............














But in reality these are probably more likely...

I used to love pretty shoes and I did wear the 4" spikes too. Now my feet hurt just looking at them and I have to opt for comfort rather than gorgeous. But, I have bought both a book and an e-book on how to make shoes and moccasins and I can have some fun with them. I've made moccasins native-style but this show how you can make "no-mocs" which pretty much look like shoes and I can see all sorts of possibilities :)

Cool shoes are to die for. In my youth I wore stilettos, platforms, and chunky heels too. The wilder the better. Shoes to match every outfit, as my job called for me to "dress". Then I got older and got a job where I could wear jeans and my sexy shoes turned to stylish boots. I always understood Ms. Marco's shoe collection.
xx, Carol
