Day 68
Tie One On!
My daughter asked to borrow a pair of shoes recently. I’m
afraid I’m not as generous a lender anymore since I know I can’t replace
anything. Grudgingly, I asked which pair. She chose red velvet medium-high
heels with an ankle strap. Since it wasn’t exactly a “go-to” pair, I agreed.
She returned the shoes, muddy and missing one ankle strap. I
don’t even want to know …
I was just revving up into a fit when she calmly said, “it’s
no big deal, use a ribbon in place of the ankle strap.” Use a ribbon in place
of the strap!!! Yes!
I was dressing for dance class today when I scoped out my shoe selection. Unfortunately, comfort and dance-ability were not at the top of my list when I bought shoes pre-challenge. Then I saw my black ankle-strap heels. The ankle strap slides right out of a loop at the back of the shoe. I replaced the straps with approx. 32” of black satin ribbon and … voilà!
So much sassier! I love this idea. The shoes are just as
comfortable as before. And the best part is: I have quite a ribbon collection!
