As the ever-observant e. from i'd wear it noted, I successfully DIY-ed my black flats with red hearts. I mentioned before in another post that I had a pair of cheap black flats with flowers on it, which I decided were too "meh" for me. I ripped the flowers off and hot-glued some stiff felt hearts where the flowers used to be. I love the result! The entire process took approximately 5 minutes, the bulk of which was simply waiting around for the hot glue gun to warm up. SUCCESS!
I am not liking this "getting dark at 6 p.m." thing that autumn Daylight Savings brings. Not liking it at all.
love the hearts! I don't really like the dark either, but the moon is especially bright and pretty these days! If I had a super power it would be teleportation! I would love to be in Paris right about now.
ReplyDeleteI am not liking the getting dark thing either. It's seriously dark at 5:30 it seems now, it's so depressing. I'm loving your shoe makeover, how clever!
ReplyDeleteMy super power of choice - uh? I guess I can't say flying! Ha! I actually would like mutation where you can transform into other people or things. That would be neat.
the hearts are such a cute and creative touch for the flats! :)
ReplyDeleteomg- the color of the tights! i don't know how you pull it off, but it's totally hot and they look awesome against the dress. you make me want to expand my tights collection! right now: brown and black :-(
ReplyDeletealso, the red hearts are super adorable.
to know what peopleare thinkin.
ReplyDeleteI love your heart shoes! (Suprising, huh? :)) They are like Melissas x Vivienne Westwoods, but so much cheaper. And yay, it's the lace-over-bright-opaque-tights combo you talked about, and it looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteLove the hearts on your flats. They look awesome- what a brilliant idea.
ReplyDeleteMy superpower? TO NEVER HAVE CHAPPED LIPS. EVER.
I know, I'm awesome at this. ;)
Great job on the shoes!!! How creative.
ReplyDeleteSuperpower but definately be the power to be invisible. OOooh, but maybe I would see and hear things I really wouldn't want to!!
Too funny...I do journal writing with my English classes every day, and the topic a couple days ago was "if you could be any super hero, who would you be, and what would be your super power?" I got a lot of great and creative responses. If I had to answer, I'd want the power to create anything at anytime. Like, I need a cup of coffee but am nowhere near a coffee shop? Poof! Coffee in hand. Or I came to school and found a run in my tights? Poof! New run-free tights in hand. It'd be amazing. I'd also like to read minds, but I'd want to be selective in what I hear...some things I'd hear would be not so fun.
ReplyDeleteOh! And I just love the fact that you layer tights. What a genius idea!
love the tights & flats. I like black & red combination.
ReplyDeleteYour opaque tights are giving me inspiration to run out and buy more colours other than just grey and dark purple :)
ReplyDeleteMy superpower: being able to read/speak/understand any language in the world.
ReplyDeleteFlying is for chumps.
Cute shoes. Hot glue guns scare me.
love your outfit! your tights and shoes are so cute! :)
ReplyDeleteI remember the post about the shoe hearts. :) I love the layered tights look. I will have to try it out—I am not in love with my legs so I only really like to wear opaque tights (I've even doubled up on black opaque tights before for warmth and max opacity!) but I like the look of sheer patterns. What a great way to be able to wear both! I really like that red—AA tights are some of my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE what you've done with those shoes!
ReplyDeleteyou look adorable! the red tights and lovely shoes are so cute! they made my heart warm with love.:)
ReplyDeleteAngela - You're right about the moon - it's gorgeous! But I'd much rather have sunshine, haha! Teleportation is a GREAT power! It'd let you sleep in until the very last minute too, since you wouldn't have to worry about commute time, haha! AND it's eco-friendly!
ReplyDeleteSummerilla - It's super dark by the time I get to the gym at 5:45! That makes me upset, because I feel like I literally spent the ENTIRE DAY at work! Hmm, you're the first person who's ever said mutation. I wonder what that would be like?
CharmaineLi - Thanks!
Ade - I think the key to pulling off bright tights is to keep the rest of the outfit simple. I'm not THAT daring, so I also tone down the red with the black overlay, haha! Definitely expand your tights collection, though, they can make outfits so much fun!
Tamstyles - Sometimes I want that power too, although I'm afraid of what I might find out!
goldenmeans - Those Kate Spade heels you rock and the Vivenne Westwood x Melissa shoes is what inspired me to glue hearts to my flats in the first place! So thanks for being my muse, haha!
Chloe - Wellll, think of all the money you'd save never having to buy chapstick again! (I do tend to go slightly psychotic when I need chapstick and don't have any)
Pamela - Ooo, being invisible at will can be fun! And it can even save your life if need be! I guess the key to not accidentally seeing and hearing things you don't want to know is to use those powers wisely, haha!
AppGal - I'll bet that you had some great responses! Kids can be so clever! Having the ability to create anything at anytime would come in handy for sure. I can't think of how many times I've been in a situation where I desperately need something but can't get it. Like, desperately needing a cup of water for my parched throat! Even right now, I really need a snack because I'm STARVING and there's no food in sight! I could use your power right about now!
Daily Lily - Thanks!
FB - Grey and dark purple tights are great, but you should get them some new friends, haha!
sarah - That would be an amazing power! My cousin had that exact answer when I asked him what skill he would have if he could have any, and I thought it was brilliant! Hot glue guns kinda scare me too. I don't even want to think about how many times I've dripped searing melted glue onto my exposed skin. OUCH.
ashley - Thanks!
e. - I've definitely done the black-on-black before too for maximum warmth! When it's cold, you gotta do what you gotta do to prevent frostbite, you know? AA tights are amazing, and I'm surprised I didn't find out about them until this year. So many colors! I want them all! And on a side note, I don't notice anything wrong with your legs! ;)
Maria - Thanks!
OneFashionistaDiva - Aww, thanks! I looove hearts, haha!
you are rocking the red tights! all my tights are natural colors... boring... I know!!!
ReplyDeleteI hate that it's getting dark too, and it's so cold, rainy and windy nowadays!!! :S
loves
I love how you layer your tights, it always looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteThe superpower I would NEVER want is to read people's minds, that would be terrible! Maybe having super speed would be handy. Cleaning my house in 5 minutes, no more traffic to worry about AND imagine the calories you would burn :o)
What a super cute DIY. LOVE the tights too!
ReplyDeletethe tights are key. I'm so afraid to do bright tights. I need a coach.
ReplyDeleteToothfairy - Rainy and windy? That sounds unpleasant! All we have here is... well, darkness at 6 p.m. And upgrade your tights collection, lady! Haha!
ReplyDeleteDebye - Thanks! And you're right about reading people's minds being a handful... I think there are a lot of things I'd rather NOT know! Super speed would be a GREAT power! I never even thought about doing things at super speed, I always just associated super speed with running really fast, haha! Now it seems like a great power to have!
Kristin - Thanks!
MODG - Breathing exercises always help. And you can always tone down bright tights with black patterned ones on top!
i have thought of doing a DIY too with a pair of ballet flats. I'm totally in love with Jcrew's collen flats, but refuse to pay the money. I have seen so many flowers out there that I could pop on a pair of flats. Thanks for the inspiraton. Your flats are adorable.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on DST. When it get dark, I feel like i should be home in bed, but it's only like 5pm!!! I get lazy this time of year, so I would love to have some super human energy that would make me immune to the dimished sunlight. But, I don't want to be a vampire....unless, I could have Edward from Twilight as my boyfriend (smile)
