Hi everybody! (Every time I ever say that to anybody I always hear it the voice of Dr. Nick from The Simpsons).

I’m actually rushing to get ready for work but I just finished my new favorite accessory, so I had to share! A friend of mine just got a pair of the innnnncredible metallic blue Lanvin shoes from H&M and I just couldn’t get them out of my mind.
Of course I knew I couldn’t have those, so I tried to think of how it would be done in my Bootleg Tailoring Corner. So I went to the hardware store and picked up some gold spray paint at $2.85 a can and went to town. As usual, I got really excited about the project and forgot to take a picture of the shoes before. They were just these plain little cream colored flats that I bought at Gabriel Brothers for $6. So for a grand total of $8.85 I got this……

Not too shabs if I do say so myself. I’m gonna wear them to work tonight so we’ll see how they hold up.

I also just want to thank all of my readers for the very sweet comments and emails I got encouraging me. They really meant the world to me. Much in the way that I couldn’t pinpoint the one thing making me so down, I can’t exactly say what’s bringing me back up but I can guarantee that your sweet well-wishing is part of it.
