DIY: Floral Print Oxfords

Hi! Recently, I went searching for the perfect pair of floral oxfords at Forever 21. It seemed that they only had size 6 in every shoe. I wear an 8. Needless to say I didn't find a pair to bring home. The next day I went thrift shopping and stumbled upon a pair of plain navy oxfords. I decided to pick them up and do a little DIY on them to get the oxfords that I wanted.



Supplies:
-Paintbrush
-Oxfords
-Acrylic paint
-Plate
-Lots of time & patience

Steps:
1. Gather your materials.

2. Clean off the shoes- inside & out.

3. Squirt your chosen colors onto your paper plate.

4. Go wild painting little flowers in all different colors. Paint them on one color at a time. I advise to do your favorite colors first in order to ensure that you have room for them.






5. Let them dry.

6. Wear them all the time!

Yours Truly, Emma Margaret Etsy Shop Review






Hi! Today, I chose to wear a few new items: a DIY studded collar, recently swapped leopard print top and earrings from Your Truly, Emma Margaret. Emma offered me 50% off her shop and free shipping for a product review. I was a bit dubious about this plan at first- I am trying to cut back on my spending because I am saving for a car. Then I took a peek arounf her shop. Nothing costs more than $10 and she has items that only cost $2. I purchased this pair of earrings for $1.50. The quality is very good and the earrings are extremely versatile. I have a feeling that these are going to be worn quite frequently. I would definitely reccommend checking out her shop HERE. Emma is also offering 60% to one of readers so you can get quite a steal in her shop right now! Use code FASHIONTRENDS for 60% off. Hurry, code is only good for one person! Code has been used now.
