old white shoes become fancy black and new!
I had some old white shoes from the 80's, that I had got at a thrift store for 25 cents. The woman at the store was ashamed that these were even put out for sale, so she gave me a deal. I loooved these shoes, I wore them out even though they were old and dirty. The cute stars on them were enough to make me dance the night away. So I decided to update them, and all I used was some black spray paint and and then sprayed them with some gloss enamel, and voila...fancy new dancin shoes.
