Back! Outfit, the world of Violet’s Shoes (Mini Tutorial)

Outfit time!
Firstly thank you all for your well wishes while I’ve been ill! It made me feel much better every morning to wake up to everyone’s lovely comments :) I’m all rested up now and should be fine to blog 3 times a week again!
Unfortunately I’ve run out of jewels to finish my decoden tutorial at the moment but I’ll be right on it when the next batch arrive! My next post will be some of the things I’ve been deco-ing lately so you can all get your rhinestone fix :P Actually I did something a little bit funny with my deco while I was sick… I’m going to keep you guessing until next post though!
Now on to my outfit… OMG I love these shoes. They are incredibly painful but they look so pretty! Here is a close up…
Sexy right? The cut out bit is velvet so they even feel nice.
This brings me to today’s topic… shoes. It may be hard to believe but up until about 6 years ago I was the biggest tomboy you imagine. I refused to wear skirts and you would be hard pressed to find me in anything other than my scuffed old pair of converse chucks. In fact that’s where my old screen name chucks_bitch came from.
These are my newest acquisition. Cute but still comfy so I can shop all day, oh and work etc. They were a birthday present from my Mum, thanks Mum!
So long story short I missed out on those years where young girls are supposed to learn to walk in heels and I’m just doing it now. I got the first pair that I regularly wear last Christmas and haven’t been able to stop since. So much pain though! I’m very stubborn so I picked the highest most ridiculous pair and assumed I would be fine… I have now learned my lesson and am easing in much more sloooowly.
Now a couple of people have asked me how I did this. It really couldn’t be simpler.
Step 1. Buy cute simple shoes on sale.
Step 2. Buy matching flowers.
Step 3. Get some thread and a needle and sew the flowers on to the shoes. Note, don’t sew through the leather just in case you ever change your mind!
Step 4. Enjoy your new awesomely cute Hime-Style shoes :D
See easy…
Lastly are any of you guys who use Nuffnang having problems when you log in? I can log in but I my stats won’t seem to show up… Just wanted to know if I’m the only one before I go and bug tech support!
Anyway it’s good to be back! Hope you enjoyed the outfit post ^_^

Welcome back!
I feel your pain with the heels issue. I was a horrible tomboy in 1997-'98-ish time. I didn't really learn to walk in heals until '02. I serious love them though, but my ankles are still weak to this day which limits the height I can wear without trying to break my neck.
I love those last pair of shoes. It was a excellent idea for hime-style. I feel like modifying a pair of shoes now. Thank you for the inspiration.
Thanks Lady Kristen!
You should totally modify some shoes, it's a great way to jazz up boring shoes and make them look fab :D Make sure you post photos if you do!
Yes high heels will be the death of me… but they look so damn good!
You look totally gorgeous.
The first pair of shoes is awesome. Very high but I like it so much. I wanna buy shoes like these.
Cool!

I was thinking of doing that to a pair of shoes. IT seems cheaper to do.
Actually when I was downtown LA where they sell stuff for really cheap. I found a pair of white heeled sandals with a flower on it and it was only 5 dollars.
It reminded me of this crafty project you did with the shoes and the flower :D
Gorgeous shoes!! I almost bought this pair from Jane Debster tht was so similar to the first pair on this post! But it was so comfortable! Myer was selling them at $99 during their sale.. Maybe you should try them out. Her heels are pretty comfy!
You're not alone when it coms to wearing heels. I'm still learning and been pretty stubborn at it. haha… should get more heels. LoL.
ps. It's great to have you back!
Julia- Thank you :) I wore those shoes out last night and they weren't as painful, I just need to get used to them! The cuteness makes it worth it haha.
Olivia- Thanks so much for visiting my blog! You're really lucky to be able to find such cheap shoes, here in Australia only second hand shoes are that price ^_^ Snap them up!
Rumtum- :D Thanks sweets! These ones are from Payless or Spendless I can't remember which, but they were like $70. I'll have to go have a look at Myer they have such pretty shoes.
<3

Thanks for the suggestion Ticketwood! I think that the shipping would be expensive as I live in Australia. I'll go check it out :)
Glad to hear you are doing better! I can't even imagine you as a tom boy, lol!!
Haha I know, it's hard to imagine but I was a tom boy who was totally into punk! Ah I'll try to did up some pics XD
