Loafers to Mules

these size 8 leather loafers felt just right at the time, with the 8.5 being too big and I thought they'd chafe the back of my feet(I'm actually a true 8.5 and rarely a true 9), when bought some 8 years ago that is...but I only wore them once really and howled in pain all day! So...why not turn them into MULES? Here they are:
the raw edges were finished off with a black Sharpie pen and the back have a small loop fashioned from extra leather I trimmed off, stuck on with a hot glue gun. They're super comfy now and extremely wearable...a success!!!

Chocolate Raspberry Sandals

I had to make 'em mine...

I got these sandals in too bright a pink and regretted that perhaps I should've got them in the dark brown instead! E Voila, the Chocolate Raspberry Sandals are born...makes the pink part all that more tasty...I suppose...thanks Sharpie...I think... :~/ they'll grow on me...I'm sure... Hey, they'll go well with this scarf...good enough! :-D



oh, and this pink and brown coin motif Indonesian pareo found on the web would be delish with it as well... Turtle Island Imports: http://www.turtleislandimports.com
