The Best Thrifted Make over ever..........

 These Boots are Made for walking........
I don't know if you remember me mentioning that I had found a pair of boots
a while back at the thrift store for $5
My friend offered to paint them like the ones I had seen at Sundance
the ones that were over $500.......
 She sent me a picture of the one thats finished....I'm so excited.
How cute will they be with a dress or jeans.
 With a cute sweater....oh the possibilities!
Heres the back.....Look at that Liberty of London touch!

Can't wait
 I will share them again when there finished and
maybe with me wearing them.....maybe!

Hope your week is off to a great start.....

    Wow, she painted those??? That is amazing! I'm not a big fan of cowboy boots myself but these I really like. They are the Dr. Martins of the cowboy boots! ;-)

    Amazing! You are going to be wearing works of art rather than boots!

    So pretty!! I'm not a cowboy boots kind of girl, but I love how you transformed this pair.
    Cow girl/Flower power. You could set a new trend.

    Wow, I'm in love. They look amazing! I can't wait to see the outfit you put together when you get them. That yellow cardi is fabulous too. It looks like it'd be so easy to recreate that look with a plain yellow v neck cardi xx

    Hi Heidi,

    Your boots look amazing! Your friend painted them beautifully. They will look fabulous with a dress :-)

    Happy to hear the frost has left Alaska and you were able to put your pots outside once more.

    Enjoy your day!

    Oh, I just LOVE your boots! I have quite a collection myself (my husband is nagging me everytime I buy a new pair - but it's worth it:-)) and I can never get enough.
    Your boots will be amazing to a dress and you definetly will have a pair of one-of-a-kind-boots!
