But they're about $1000+. Sooooo, I'm not going to get them anytime soon, I don't think.
I wanted to find something that would have a similar feel but be easier on my wallet. Especially given the fact that they are not what I would call a "classic-wear-anywhere" shoe.
After some searching I found these corset style heels. They're actually a bit trashy (the brand is "Pleaser" for Pete's sake!) but since they were only $35 I felt I could make something out of them.
The style seems simple enough that they don't look totally trashy. My biggest issue was with the clear heel. I felt I could paint them and you'd be none the wiser.
So I dug into my pile of arts and crafts supplies and got my acrylic paint and paintbrushes out.
Before. After.
Not too bad, huh?
Not one to leave well enough alone, I thought it might be fun to add a contrast heel... and some glitter. Yeah, glitter might be too much but if it starts to look too crappy I can take off the paint and then just repaint them solid black.
Granted not the best lace up job here...
but I think they'll be pretty cute with this black sequined dress I just got.
Sexy, not too trashy right? The simplicity really helps.
Glitter!
Not a bad solution for the price.
