If you are new to my blog, Welcome and thank YOU for visiting! I am currently working on a $50.00 Simple Wedding Gown Challenge. My goal is to stay at or under $50.00 (before taxes) and assuming people have the basic supplies – scissor, sewing machine, thread/needle, glue gun/glue sticks, iron, and a measuring tape. However, my true goal is to inspire you to get creative. Below is the tentative budget breakdown:
$10.00 Hair Adornment/Jewelry
$15.00 Shoes
$25.00 Dress (not including undergarments:)
The budget breakdown may change but the goal is to stay at or under $50.00

Greetings Everyone!
As you can see, I’m still drawn to the pyramid trims and just had to add it to the shoe design. This is a pretty big transformation if I do say so myself. What do you think?
Remember how it looked before?
While designing the shoes, I had a hard time sleeping at night. The shoes had morphed into so many designs in my head and my mind would not let me rest. Remember, I had to work within a $15.00 shoe budget so I had to get extremely creative with the supplies I had or had to purchase.
Before I finalized the design, I did play around with the embellishments. Below are a few ideas I played with…you may even like one of them better:)

- Spray painting the shoes a metallic gold
Well, I am currently working on the video tutorial for the shoe refashion so it will be coming out the end of November or early December. Also, I would like to thank the Gentlemen for being so patient. I do have a few tutorials lined up for them and they will be coming out soon. As for the shoe budget, here it is….
Price – Item (Shop)
$7.79 – Shoes (Kohl’s – additional 25%discount & additional 20% Friends & Family Discount)
Free – Flower Petals (left over from Floral Birdcage Headband Tutorial)
$0.97 – Gold Ribbon (Walmart)
$3.77 – Rust-Oleum Gold Metallic Paint (Walmart)
$2.75 – 1/2yard Gold Pyramid Chain (Joann’s, 50% off phone app coupon)
Total $15.28
Went over $0.28 but I’m definitely okay with that, I’ll just take it from the jewelry budget or the dress budget:) A glue gun/glue sticks were used for adhering the embellishments.
