One more to-do checked off my list: re-vamping my ho-hum navy blue clogs with a little acrylic paint. (OMG, was that a pun? Vamp?) When I first bought these clogs I was excited about them; navy shoes make me think of librarians and somehow I find that “librarian-ish” is a good characteristic when it comes to fashion. But unadorned they were a bit too dark and Plain Jane for me (especially compared to my bright yellow patent leather ones). I was bored of them and even thought about giving them away.
I love painted clogs, the folksy-ness of them. So I did a quick little sketch on paper to plan and hopefully prevent any royal mess-ups but I wasn’t too particular with how the flowers would turn out; they didn’t need to be perfect. Once I got started it went quickly. Now my shoes are very spring-y, cheerful and ho-hum no more!
I’ve already worn them 3 times since I painted them last week; time well spent.
