New. York. Times.

Shoe Sharing
I wanted to do a post on a few neon DIYs that commenters have shared with me over on my Move Over Mellow Yellow post. Not only does painting over your shoes give them a new life, you get to create a pair that are all your own! Here’s a few inspirational ideas that might kick start your creative juices :-)
Maya of Soccer Mom Style shared her neon sole DIY with me and I thought her shoes were awesome! Check out this post to see how she created this look, the best part is that she sells her DIYs via her Etsy store!
The lovely blogger over at Petite on the Streets shared her color block sandal revamp with me last week. She gives a detailed step by step account of how she remixed her old Donald J. Pliner sandals. They turned out great didn’t they?
DIY party this weekend anyone?
The Neon Shoe DIY You Have To Try
That’s right, summer is here and I’m in LOVE with neons. I’m pushing my “mellow yellows” to the side, in exchange for vibrant, shocking colors. Starting now…
This Bloggers Do It Better Challenge was all about mixing Neutral and Neon colors! [Tweet this]
When I was putting together my outfit, I knew I wanted to stick to a khaki and gray color palette (I’m in love with that color combo for summer by the way) with a splash of neon. I had a safari inspired khaki colored dress and gray strappy sandals…but no neons! Whatever is a girl to do in that sort of predicament? Well this girl headed to Michael’s Arts and Crafts store to pick up some fabric paint and DIY her all gray shoes into this fun color blocked pair. I spotted this cool wall along the West Side Highway and trotted over with Danny to start shooting.

Safari Dress from Market Publique/Gold belt from Market Publique/Emergy banana chord and woven cloth bangles (last seen here)/Treasure necklace from Manifest Manifest/Straw clutch from my grandmother/DIY colorblock Zara shoes

Update!
Since more people are checking out this post: I used the Tulip fabric paint on the top half of my shoe (the fabric part) and acrylic paint on the heel (the plastic part). Use fabric paint for fabrics (Tulip soft paint works well on suedes as well), and acrylic for plastics, etc.
Head over to Pretty Shiny Sparkly to see how other bloggers took on this challenge!
