My DYI gold boots - New Look boots painted with gold spray paint
Ever since I saw my friend C wearing Russel & Bromley's* Dicker look-a-like gold boots a few months ago I have been dreaming of gold boots. And when I say dreaming, I mean obsessing. I searched for a while but I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. It isn't easy to find a pair of gold boots which doesn't look cheap or costs a fortune, this I can say for sure. And when you don't find what you look for, what do you do ? Yes, baby, you do it yourself !I found a DIY project which looked ridiculosly simple and I decided to give it a try. In the end I was happy with the resultat but I had to use 3 different bottles of spray paint to find the perfect color. I think that they don't look so bad and with bare legs the color is really nice. But I admit, although I fulfilled my obsession (which is a good thing, if you know what I mean), but I don't know how many times I will be wearing these...

If you like the look of gold boots but if you find the DYI ideaFrom left: Giuseppe Zanotti snake effect ankle boots (net-a-porter), lamé boots (christian louboutin), western ankle boots (maje), biker boots (jimmy choo), chelsea boots (sacha), Sam Edelman fringed ankle boots (heels)
How about you my lovelies, are you for the gold boots or not ?
