DIY Spats
I still have not purchased the cuff sandals I had been coveting, I cant bring myself to pay full price for them. I was telling Kate the other day that I could totally make my own, she agreed (but didn’t seem very confident). But here are my first attempt:
I cut up an old pair of boots to make them. I guess they look more like spats which are also pretty cool. I found some really pretty ones on Etsy.

Nice! The bows are cute, but they would also look cute without the bows. Versatile–assuming they’re not sewed on!

Oh, I just noticed the criss-cross. Very cute.

It wasn’t a lack of confidence m’dear… you know I just don’t have a clue when it comes to fashion!

Hey Punky…I’ve been wanting to write about spats for awhile, but your recent in tFS totally inspired me to do it! I love these on you! I can’t believe they are DIY…you should make more and sell them at Etsy.
Anyway…gave you a shoutout in my post. Have a good wknd.
