If the shoe fits,adorn it

So I have big feet. Size 11!  They look proportional to my size , but finding shoes that fit , is an issue. Or I should say : finding shoes that fit, but are comfy and relatively cute, is the issue.
I found these black linen flats by Aerosoles and they are pretty comfy , but the glittery bows!!! Ew. When you are a size 11, the last thing you need are gold glitter bows.
If you know me, you know I don't co-own a business that specializes in adorned handbags , for nothing … these shoes had potential . I thought this could be an excellent way to illustrate what we go through to design every handbag we have in our line. The adornments on BB bags look effortless and interchangeable, but there is real thought behind the designs, and a lot of trail and error.We consider the aesthetics and the practicality, along with the construction, before we move forward with a design. Here is the procedure I went through to re-design the shoes…

First, Off came the bows...

Then I had to deal with the little tab thing...
When I took the tab off, left behind was this sticky gooey glue that required some glue remover and tweezers...
Then I had to use black Sharpie to hide some sins and I was all set to re-decorate.

Here are some possible ways to adorn these simple black flats.
