Shoes with Chains, Anklet Heels, Chainklets. . . A pseudo DIY

I wore my vintage brass chain necklaces wrapped around my ankles last week with my Calvin Klein snakeskin "Sarika" pumps ...and since I flipped through a magazine and spotted the below image yesterday afternoon, I decided to really drive the point home. Why spend money on the actual shoe when you can add chains to any shoe and get the same affect? I just so happened to have the chains which I found randomly throughout the years at thrift shops but any chunky chain will do. Just make sure they're not too heavy or too tight or you'll be uncomfortable all day.





See how I wore them here

Need some chunky chains? ...here are some budget friendly options that may work ...remember, you'll need one for each ankle {also think about the clasp, you want it small but able to clamp onto almost any part of the chain for a great fit} ...and remember, you'll be able to wear them as necklaces too! Double duty jewelry!
