I picked up these
The only problem was they were yellowed. But then I found another pair of white keds that were in much better condition, so I snapped those up and threw this pair into the restyle pile.
Then I was inspired by twig+bone, who was inspired by bleubirdvintage, to paint my shoes. So I got some pink paint, and ta-da! New shoes. Can't wait to wear them tomorrow!
I was thinking that I'd really like to add some velvet laces... I just can't decide if should get pink or white. Or both.
Over all, I love how they turned out, and I will be on the lookout for more shoes to paint. :)
I just wish there was some way to get rid of the remaining yellowness. Maybe I'll paint that area white...
Awesome Love the pink, Yes a nice coat of white fabric paint and the would look like brand new shoes. oo and fun laces too I can't wait to see what you pick!
ReplyDeletetoo cute! i looove the pink and thank you so much for the shout out ;)
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea! I think the pink laces would look adorable :)
ReplyDeletetoo late for this pair, but maybe in the future: machine wash hot with bleach. Will get rid of the slightly yellow and lighten up the rest. Then paint.
