... the Independence day ball at December 6th, I've bought a pair of
real dancing shoes. That is, shoes made for just dancing. They're supposed to support and not chafe your feet. But... they're practical, not decorative.
What to do, what to do?
Well, run in to Tiimari (Finnish arts & crafts store) and
Blingi (local dress jewelry store here in Turku). For 5 euros, I got enough things to make the shoes a little bit prettier.

While I was at Blingi - I had Mimi with me, because I badly needed her advice on buying the dancing shoes - I found they had these cute decorative shapes cut from wood. I bought a pair of black "butterfly"-inspired ones, along with some ear-ring-pieces. They turned out quite alright :) I might actually go back and see if I can get some in violet as well, because they hardly weigh a thing and still look quite elegant. At least, I think so.
