Being the pack rat that I am, every other week, I find myself being the
collector of something! Be it frog broaches, pieces of blue vintage
cloth, rare coins, or dragonfly patches, I love to be a "collector"
from time to time. This week my obsession for "collecting" is shoe
clips. Shoe clips are great for those who like to transform their shoes
without transforming their pocket:). I found these great vintage yellow wedges at an estate sale last week
and decided to give them a little boost by adding a cool accessory to
the front. I tried two options to see what would look
best. Let me know which one you liked best.
You can find shoe clips on eBay or any antique
or vintage store. They were really big in the 60's. They range in price
from $2 a pair to $25 (roughly. and also depending on where you
live). If you can't find shoe clips, clip on earrings can
also do the job. Try shoe clips on ballet flats, heels, wedges, and
even thong sandals.
