I picked these shoes up at an op shop for $5. I was pretty chuffed because a) I can never find decent shoes in my size; and b) they were in tip top condition and looked as if they had hardly been worn. Or so I thought. The second time I wore them the sole completely fell off. Apparently the glue had weakened, probably due to me stomping about in the rain the first time I wore them (I just couldn’t help myself). Luckily, the shoe repair man was able to work his magic so hopefully they’ll last for a while yet.
I love this outfit! DIY vintage shorts? I take it they were trousers and you turned them into shorts yes?
You make polka dots look casually awesome (excuse my lame word pairings)
😛
@Hiroko: haha it's ok, I'm one for lame word pairings myself. And yes, the shorts used to be trousers. I really didn't know how to best explain it, so hopefully everyone else follows that same train of thought!
Such an adorable outfit!
I love the outfit details in the photos too, very cool! xx

that is too sad that they broke! Hopefully he will be able to repair them because they look great! 🙂
This combo is definitely a winner. I actually wore something almost identical the other day!
You did a fab job on the shorts, they look like they came straight off a rack from Topshop (but even better because they are vintage).

This happens every time I buy any vintage shoes – op-shop, etsy.. But having a good cobbler is so handy, and happy for your shoes too!
