DIY Ankle Fringe
...add it to any shoe

I bought these Jessica Simpson nude patent heels quite a while ago and would have returned them if there weren't $50. I figure for $50 I'll wear them at some point, even if under long pants because I don't really love how they make my legs look.

I probably wouldn't buy a pair of ankle fringe shoes but since the idea is so simple, I though, why not? You can make the fringe cuffs smaller ...to hit at your actual ankle but I find that sometimes cuts off my leg. The lower swag under the ankle bone elongates the leg a bit and the fringe actually changed the way my legs appear in the shoes and now I'm happy with them.

The one problem I foresee is when I walk, the fringe sometimes gets caught under my heel. Otherwise ...LOVE.



*sorry to confuse ...should have mentioned. Fringe is beige/ivory ...shoes are nude patent with light gold heel.

really cute! great tip about elongating legs. I like the color scheme you picked of the white fringe to go with the nude heels, its a nice combination. Thank you for another fun DIY.

That is a fab idea! I have just been looking at shoe accessories i.e. jewellery on litterfs. They do the chains for shoes etc.

Otherwise I'm still loving your tattoo lol

Hi Maegan, I've been following you for about a month. At first I was a little unsure about your "Completely Gratuituos Outfit Posts", but I've come around to love them and how you incorporate your DIY projects, the hair, EVERYTHING!!

You truly are an inspiration for a non-stylish girl like me.

This post is just another amazing idea.

I recently discovered your blog- loved the french braid in the previous post. This is so clever! The shoes are cute alone, but with the fringe, it's a totally new shoe! $50 well spent!

Amy said...

Hmm, they look totally fantastic on you and I would be copying them immediately if my legs looked anything like yours :( x

Legallyblondemel said...

I'm not clever enough to DIY, but I so admire those of you with the patience to figure it out.

And those SHOES! I cannot believe they came from Jessica Simpson, of all people; sounds like you're iffy on them, but I think they're fab.

Ana said...

You are a genius!

Miss Eve said...

I think those shoes are one of the sexiest shoes I've ever seen...

Violet said...

You NEVER cease to amaze me women!!! lol

this topped the ruffle diy and that had me mesmerized for a couple of minutes

your legs look great by themselves without the fringe btw

K @ Blog Goggles said...

New question: what shouldn't we add fringe to? My vote is nothing.

Michele said...

whoa whoa whoa. Can you make me a pair? ;)

Anonymous said...

I love that you can do all this stuff but these remind me of a clydesdale horse

Anonymous said...

Wow! I love this! But I was just wondering where you got the fringe from? I can't seem to find that kind in any of the DIY shops near where I live.

Noa said...

The fringe shoe is totally here to stay this season!
