Every year I get a bright idea to do some kind of DIY project, and this year was no different. I had my outfit planned out, but something was missing — blue knee-high Converse. The website lets you customize colors, but I wasn’t about to drop $130, so I decided to paint them myself.

It’s not my best work, but honestly, they turned out pretty good for the occasion. I’ll go back and clean them up later, but for now, I’m impressed. What do you think?
