Truthfully, I could go on and on and ON about my love for washi tape. There’s practically no limit to what you can use it for. In fact, just to prove it, you can see how I’ve put the craft supply to work in the past on napkin rings, mini trays, ornaments, place cards, gift tags and even pencils.

Probably my all-time favorite thing about patterned tape though is that you can customize it to any kind of aesthetic. For the last few years, I was all about a poppy color scheme, so I used tape that suited that look. But this year, I’m diving more into neutral décor, and happily, there’s a wealth of washi tape options for that look, too!

Case in point, my DIY Washi Tape Jewelry Boxes for Oriental Trading. These tiny boxes started off looking pretty darn plain, but by adding lengths of coordinated tape, I was able to up the sophistication factor ten-fold without sacrificing tons of time or money. A bit of matching felt lining was the perfect finishing touch, and now my bits and baubles have a sweet spot to sit when not flouncing around with me close at hand during the day.

Done In A Dozen: Picks For Your Spring Footwear

Everything You Need For Your Spring Footwear Collection | dreamgreendiy.com

I don’t know about your state, but we’ve experienced lots of spring-like temperatures (and freak thunderstorms, too) here in Virginia, which is making me feel like we’ve jumped head-first into the next season before it has even officially started. I’m kind of okay with it though, seeing as spring is practically my favorite time of year.

Like most people at the turn of the seasons, I’m taking a long, hard look at my closet in anticipation of the weather shift. Truth be told, I’m not very good at clothes shopping for myself, and shoe shopping is one of those tasks that I do only grudgingly. The result is that my shoe collection is—to put it lightly—ancient and grubby. I tend to choose a shoe and stick with just that single pair all season long, and you can tell.

It was the moment this past weekend that I pulled out my trusty pair of (old and dusty) Birkenstocks that I realized it was time to invest in a collection of new spring shoes. So, I’ve spent the morning pulling together a dozen options that will complete my warm-weather footwear in one fell swoop. Which of these 12 catches your eye?

  1. J.Crew, Canvas Espadrille Wedges ($82.50)
  2. TOMS, Speckled Classic Slip-On ($35.37)
  3. Adidas, ‘Stan Smith’ Sneaker ($74.95)
  4. BP., Sophie Lace-Up Flat ($59.95)
  5. Birkenstock, ‘Arizona’ Soft Footbed Sandal ($134.95)
  6. Hunter, Original High Gloss Boot ($150)
  7. J.Crew, Crisscross Ankle-Strap Sandals ($41.50)
  8. J.Crew, Morgan Woven Peep-Toe D’Orsay Flats ($62.50)
  9. J.Crew, Olive Suede Pumps ($79.99)
  10. J.Crew, Cora Suede Tassel Loafers ($49)
  11. J.Crew, Perforated Loafers ($62.50)
  12. Vans, Classic Slip-On Sneaker ($59.95)

Oh, and while I have you, I just wanted to say a heartfelt THANK YOU for the advice, suggestions, and kind words of support you all shared following Friday’s post. Dealing with my travel anxiety feels more manageable knowing that I’m not alone, plus I feel far more prepared to face the effects now that I have so many tips to try out. I just wanted to reiterate how much I appreciate all of the sweet comments and messages. You all are priceless to me! Thank you!
