write it in [yellow] lipstick

a few weeks ago, melissa over at Write it in Lipstick posted a wonderful tutorial on DIY:Red shoes. i was immediatley hooked on the concept that i could have a new pair of shoes for $4. i mean, who wouldn't be?!

when i was pregnant with jackson, i thought it would be wonderful to wear my favorite cute black heels to our MOPS meeting. well, i slipped on a patch of ice right outside our door and scuffed them all to heck.



i've been wearing them since then because i honestly can't find another pair of heels that i love as much. after i saw melissa's post, i knew that someday i would use that technique on my heels. and i would do it in yellow.

behold!





turned out pretty good, eh? i just got a new pair of shoes for $3.27! heck yes! i love thrifty moms, and what's more i love thrifty moms who are willing to share their advice. thanks melissa!

  6. Those are so cute. I am really loving the yellow. I always want to buy colorful shoes but never step out of my comfort range of brown, black or grey.
