Before you run out and buy a new pair of very chic, very in-style ankle strap shoes, take a moment to look around at what you’ve got. You may have a pair of shoes just waiting to be upgraded.

Head over to The Penny Rose, where I explain step-by-step how to add ankle straps to any pair of shoes that have a back (except boots, duh!).

Bonus: It’s super easy and zero commitment – straps are easy to switch out or the shoes can still be worn without them.
