What started my love for wearing and customizing converse/Chuck Taylorāsā¦and EVERYTHING ELSE?
I started repairing and re-purposing things early in childhood when my aunt Lois used to get me to repair her Knick-knacks or what-nots (I think thatās the termš¬)⦠I would patiently piece together every crumb of those things back together in order to look just like NEW!!! I took such pride in fixing them for her, and I enjoyed every MINUTE of it! Even though I think it was just ābusy workāā¦š„“Lol!
Fast-forward to my early 20s when I had some slides that I wore sooooo often til they were just looking ROUGH and RAGGED!! Lol! Not because I couldnāt afford new onesā¦but because they were just comfortableā¦š¤·š½āāļø
Then about 6-8 years ago, my Bestie, Tiffany, saw what Iād done to some of my slides and asked if I could bedazzle her chucks for herā¦.she showed me a pic of what she wanted for reference, and MEānever turning down a challenge assured her: āOf course I can do thatā¦no problem!!!ā (Iāll post a pic if I locate the finished product)
From then on, I fell in love with converse! She gave me my first pair, and now itās pretty much all I wear (especially since my knee injury a couple years agoš©)
People saw hers and photos that I started posting, annnnd⦠The rest is historyā¦āØšš½
Itās been a while since Iāve been in the ālabā, (because ALL of my tools/supplies were destroyedš) but Iām jumping back in there!
