Stars at her heels

So this is what I'm walking around in these days.



 I've had these shoes for five and a half years, and the soles were coming off at the toes. They're really great shoes. I didn't want to part with them. They had yellow curb paint flecks on them (thanks to a community service project on a windy day) that reminded me of stars in a dark sky. So I duct taped them back together. Then they looked trashy, so I painted them. I started with the stars, in honor of the curb. Acrylic. The rest was just whatever came to mind. Left heel's still my favorite. Replaced the laces. The left one won't stay tied. They're conversation starters. Strangers comment on them. I feel like an artist when I wear them.

Probably because I am.
