Something we’ve seen a lot the past months are the beautiful Miu Miu shoes with buckles or lace up details. They come in different varieties such as mules, flats, flatform espadrilles, pumps and sandals, some of them come with detachable ribbons (like these were you are able to wear gingham on one foot and black on the other for a cool asymmetrical look.) I love these beauties and if I had the money I would already own a pair because the’re so versatile.

If you like me really love these shoes but you don’t want to spend so much money you can try out this trick. What you’ll need for this is:

• A pair of shoes, it can be any kind.
• Ribbon in desired color or print

As you can see I decided to wrap my ribbons around the shoe but this won’t work on flats unless you don’t mind stepping on the ribbons. The other option looks more like the Miu Miu version but if you use to thick ribbons it might be to uncomfortable to wear in the shoes. I’ll show you below how I tied my ribbons:

If you have a pair of shoes that are a bit big on you this is an awesome way to keep the shoes on your feet while adding something extra to your shoes.

To do the other option you just wrap the ribbon around your feet instead and then put on your shoes. But obviously this won’t help with shoes that are too big (but maybe too wide.)

The ribbons I used came from an old pair of wedges from H&M but if you go to a craft store you could get any type of ribbon in your desired width and length (assuming that that particular store offers a wide range of ribbons.) If you don’t have a store like this nearby you can always find any type of ribbon online. But who knows maybe you have some old ribbons lying around somewhere.. I sure did..

Another option is to add ribbons to ankle strap shoes, simply remove the strap (assuming that you can) and pull your ribbon through the loop. Then you can wrap and tie it however you like.

Have a lovely day!
