1. Hand-Painted Clogs {A Shoe Refashion of Sorts}

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.
