Lately Lil seems to be zooming through her clothing. She looks too tall for about every pair of pants in her drawer. I keep trying to stretch the wardrobe till summertime. She could be looking like this entry…
Oh well.
Pants aside -- Lil has been wanting to wear her dress shoes with all outfit selections and everyday to school. I know her sneakers offer more room—so what gives?
Oh… the shoes look dirty. Not like a princess. Now I understand. Well, cheap me does not want to buy some new sneakers right before summertime. She will be barefoot or in flip-flops soon enough and if I can hold off till fall—that would be wonderful.
My little light bulb goes off… I remember this blog entry from the wonderful Pink and Green Mama. This will do the trick.
I grab my sharpies and get to work right away. I can crank this out before preschool right? It took a bit longer and I didn’t go in with a plan but my little princess was pleased with the end result. These rainbow kicks are her version of glass slippers!
love this!!! what a great idea!!
ReplyDeleteYou rock! The shoes are awesome and that's the exact same reason I did "E"s shoes -- they were grungy and she wouldn't wear them - bought a few extra months of wear that way. Great job and thanks for the shout-out love!! xoxo ML
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! They remind me a little of the Lisa Frank craze.
