My FAB Carnival Boots!!

So after taking chain up from Saucy's blog, I decided to go with traditional mas boots and not sneakers this year.

Once I registered in Chutney I found my way to Picadilly Street and purchased a pair of gold boots from Jomo.

Found my way to Samaroo's and purchased gold glitter and spray adhesive.
Didn't buy any gold or orange braid because I always have ends of braid home.

After I collected my costume on Carnival Thursday I determined that I would use parts of the costume to decorate my boots, namely the leg, arm and wrist bands, which I never use anyways cause they always need to tie over cause dey always falling off/down or some nonesense and they just generally annoy the shit out of me.

So I sat down just before Dimanche Gras on Sunday night (hmm...that's repetitive isn't it?) by Mummy and started decorating my boots.


These are the pictures of my boots before, during the process and after.
I am SO proud of my boots eh...
