beyond frugal
to be quite honest this right now is the most tight budgeted i've ever been and for this long. but that is OK cause money isn't everything and my brain is working in ways it normally wouldn't have. as you know i'm cocktail waitressing and just found out yesterday that we MUST wear closed toed shoes. the problem...i don't have a dressy pair of closed toed shoes nor the finances to buy a comfy pair of hot pumps which i eyed at Geox. so instead of buying a pair of cheap $30 shoes that will kill my feet i had to improvise and fast. i love my cute kitten heels but they have a peek-a-boo open toe. one of the managers noticed them quick fast and told me i couldn't rock them. "well go ahead and buy me a new pair of shoes" as i threw water in their face, is what i thought as i said "i'll see what i can do". so i got home rattling my brain. "think Maya, think". i found my old satin shirt that i rock with a high waisted skirt so it spared me the couple inches i needed. i can now add cobbler to my list of credits :)

WOW! I never would have known they weren't designed that way... Great job! :-)
...and they are still just as cute!...wish I was this creative!!
WOW!! You are talented! How did you do that?! By hand or sewing machine (if that's possible)?
here's the catch and why the blog entry is titled "beyound frugal". those bad boys are slip-ons. i didn't sew or glue them in :S 1- i didn't have time since i was cutting it close for work and 2- i still want to rock the open toe :)
