What is this thing: The Decorative Shoe Clip

I can remember being baffled by these huge, painful earrings as a child so I thought I would take a moment to share what my grandmother revealed to me when I was 8. You use them to decorate your shoes! I've always worried they would leave a dint in the shoe itself, but it is undeniable that there are some pretty fantastic vintage clips floating around.

So last year: what I wore June 13, 2008

• Aerosoles brown strappy sandals
• Thrifted poofy high waisted early 90s skirt (love, love, love)
• GAP tunic tuxedo top
• Thrifted wooden flower necklace, same colours as skirt lucky enough

The second set secures with pins:
And, VOILA! (sadly I did not have an shirt with acutely angled collar points to demonstrate, but IMAGINE)
