I love shoes! And I think every girl just love collecting shoes as much as they love collecting bags. I am not into those expensive shoes. Well, maybe if I had the money. But most of the time, I am just for the comfort and the design. and of course, it is inexpensive, then I am sure to have it.
Lately, I have been loving those bejewelled sandals and wedges! I just fell in love with them. I have even made myself a pair of bejewelled flip flops twice when I found some plain-looking slip ons. I did have a lot of fun doing it.
Now my latest collection are these. (shown in the picture)- a pair of white strapped flip flops and a black strappy wedge. I am so happy with it that I couldn't resist taking a picture of it! Crazy, huh?

That's great! Are you not into it anymore? I think it would make a great business. Have you ever considered it?

I have done that and been there. I clearly remember a pair of white coat shoes which had a studded broach. I fell in love with that broach and bought the pair straight away without even trying them out. When I got home I realised that they were a bit tight. I went through torture wearing them but never exchanged them. That broach made me put up with all that suffering!

It is only now that we find malls and shops scattered all over. Those days there were just a couple or two of the well known brand shoe shops for which we had to travel miles. Yes. I did not try them out. I was just around 18 those days and such silly mistakes are quite common at that age! I still remember wearing a low waste green and white vertical striped dress the first time I wore those shoes but came home with blisters all over!

There wasn't a pair that fits you? or you were just so excited to have the brooch? as with the bejewelled wedge I bought online, I made sure that it was the biggest size that I am having coz Korean shoes can be a bit smaller than the regular ones. Good thing that it perfectly fits me!

Personally for some reason, when it comes to shoes, I am not really into the ones with the fancy jewels on them, and would never consider paying the price that they usually would want for something like these as well. I have never been into the bling look with my shoes. But like you said if adding some Jewels from like the craft store work, this is a cheaper way to do it for sure.

I guess, not all girls are into those jewelled shoes....but that's fine. My fondness of this just started when I was a bit bored one day and decided to do something different. I was wanting to buy a pair of sandals or flip flops. But there wasn't nice enough within my budget. And when I saw a plain pair of flip flops and thought of making it a bit fancy by placing those stones on it. And i was happy having my first project! So, that was the start.
I wouldn't buy expensive shoes, myself. So I just either make myself a pair or find something within my budget.

Well, since you can usually get flip flops for a really good price, and many times at like the dollar tree, a person could decorate these really inexpensively and then sell them St bazaars and such and make a little profit.

Hello jenny. I have never been too much into shoes. I had an aunt that was. i just wanted my feet to be comfortable. I only had one pair of those high heels back in the day. They had a wood soul and brown lather straps.
Some years ago there were TV craft That showed cover the shoe with fabric and how to dye them. I think one could add a lot of that bling to bring them up to date. A while back I saw that a couple of high school girls tarted putting bling on those flip flops and they tarted a new craze. They started with their own flip flops and on to friends and went into stores.

Hi, deebomb ! If I have enough resources, I would have made it as a business really. Coz you know how most girls want to wear fancy shoes/flip flops which are inexpensive.
