Esty | she makes cents

I came across this picture sometime last week while browsing through Pinterest and I fell in love. It’s a Fashion DIY from the blog, Little Green Notebook. Based off the great job that Jenny did, I thought I would try it. August is a busy month for birthdays (including mine) and I thought something cute, simple, personalized, and most important, not terribly expensive, would be a great gift. I thought to myself, buying something like this will cost you $$$, but DIYing it could be fun and worth and the savings. So immediately, the Mr. and I drove to the closest H&M to see what wristlet I could find to try this project out on. Unfortunately, I did not see the same pattern as pictured below, but it made me remember this cute little Chevron patterned wristlet I saw on Esty (I’m totally going through a Chevron phase).

It’s been a while since our last shoe revamp. . .

I have two words for you, shoe clips. Yesterday, I was going through some of my Aunt’s vintage jewelry and I came across the most beautiful shop clip from her mother. Unfortunately, somewhere along the way one of the clips was misplaced, but it got me thinking... hey, this is another great way to re-vamp your shoes without breaking the bank. Shoe clips are not a free option like in the earlier post (see article, here), but they are an inexpensive way to change the look of shoes you already own without permanently altering them.

My Aunt’s vintage shoe clip:

Honestly, the pictures don’t do the clip any justice. In my opinion, the shoes are so pretty in person and the clip is a great way to insure that your style is very different from the fashionista sitting right next to you. In fact, I am sure my visit to my aunt’s house on yesterday has birthed my newest obsession- SHOE ACCESSORIES!!!
