Here we are again.
Did you bet on the fact i would cut my version of the new zara asymmetric shoes?
Well i did.I've taken my scissors and cut a common pair of pointy shoes to asymmetric sexiness.
Let's get back for a moment.Those shoes which caused hysterical crysis in zara shops have been inspired by Stella MCCartney Morgana pointed slingbacks shoes you can buy at net a porter clicking on the name.
Have you ever realized how even something cheap can become exclusive when it isn't available in shops anymore?
DIY your own:
- buy a pair of suedette pointy shoes (this material will be easier to cut)
- look at the pictures of zara shoes and with a chalk draw the new asymmetric profile on the shoes
- with scissors cut the profile (manicure scissors will be fine,they're small and accurate)
- go over the shoes with a brush to erase chalk tracings
- shoes are made of several layers;if these layers open up at the side glue them together again with vynilic glue
These are my new favorites!I've chosen a medium heel for this project.
Pointy toe and sky high heel can be a deadly combination that can force you to wear these shoes only in special occations.That would be a shame for a pair of shoes that go with everything and can rock in many outfits during this spring.
Ci risiamo.
Quanto tempo mi avevate dato prima che prendessi in mano le forbici e trasformassi brutalmente le solite scarpe a punta nelle scarpe che non ho potuto comprare in ben due negozi di zara?
Torniamo indietro per un attimo.Le scarpe che hanno generato l'isteria nei negozi spagnoli si ispirano ad un paio di scarpe di Stella MCartney,le Morgana pointed slingbacks che potete acquistare cliccando sul nome su net a porter.
Avete mai riflettuto su come anche qualcosa di accessibile economicamente può diventare esclusivo ed inaccessibile quando non è più disponibile nei negozi?
Se volete invece replicare il look:
- prendere un paio di scarpe a punta scamosciate (saranno più facili da tagliare)
- guardando le immagini delle scarpe di zara disegnate con un gessetto il profilo asimmetrico
- con le forbici (quelle della manicure sono piccole e precise,andranno benissimo) tagliate il profilo
- passate un pennellino sulle scarpe per togliere tutte le traccie del gesso
- se gli strati che compono la scarpa appaiono divisi ai lati incollateli di nuovo con della colla vinilica
ed è fatta!
Ecco a voi le mie nuove preferite! Volutamente ho scelto un tacco moderato.Il duo punta stretta tacco alto può essere micidiale e costringerci ad indossare quelle scarpe solo in certe occasioni. Sarebbe un vero peccato per un paio di scarpe che vanno bene con tutto e possono diventare il jolly di molti outfit di primavera.
