Regifting

 This is the season of gifting...

 I gave myself these red Repettos a while back (they were on sale bien sur!) and I was soooo happy.

 But (it's a big but) these shoes are rain makers. I should have sent them to the Mid West during the drout. I wear these red shoes and $#@!, if it doesn't pour cats and dogs.

 They're in very sorry shape. Sad and decrepid would not be an understatement.

 Looking at old PB posts a bell went off. Why not cover the tired red suede with a black permanent marker?

 Easy peasy if you have lots of time to kill and are a risk taker ahem.

 TA DA!

Trouble is, after completing one shoe I didn't much feel like doing the other shoe...

 And wouldn't a nice new fat bow be an improvement like these Jaime Mascaros?

 TA DA! I did it.

Re-gifted/revised Repettos.

They don't look half bad...at least from a distance. I even got a compliment in the hair salon. Could this be an improvement?

 I tried to get my 'new' ex-red shoes into the picture but it was no go. The Plaza Hotel's magnificent Christmas tree is cordoned off with a velvet rope.

Meanwhile Bear is enthralled with Bergdorf's poodles.

Dear PBers, I hope you get all the gifts of your hearts desire.

Thanks for coming along for the ride.
