Back in the 1950's and 60's shoe clips were a popular accessory for spiffing up a regular ol' pair of shoes. Today shoe clips are enjoying a revival of sorts and being enjoyed from weddings to daily wear.
As hemlines become shorter or as the bride daintily, or daringly, lifts up her dress to have her shoes poke coquettishly from beneath, her shoes are on display for all to see.
Accessories can make or break an outfit and oftentimes are the focal point for what the outfit is built around.
Thrifty brides will love that after the wedding their shoe clips can also be worn as lapel brooches or hair accessories. The creative bride will discover that the clips can pretty much be worn anywhere from boot toppers, to belts, pant tops, etc.
Check out these wonderful selections from fellow Etsy sellers and remember...just because an item is being sold as one thing, it doesn't mean it can't be worn as something else!
