Thrifty Thursday : Roller Skates!


Nicole and I will soon be adding a new segment to the blog that features us and other Numéro staff members dressed as characters from certain films, albums and books we review. The shoot we just finished was a blast and our good friend over at swanky lady vintage let us borrow some awesome vintage roller skates to wear.
After turning the Numéro offices into a roller rink and reassuring Dennis that we wouldn't ruin the newly polyurethaned floors we got some shots of these fantastic skates.
Vintage roller skates can be used both for their original purpose, roller skating, or as a quirky decorative element. You can place a glass vase inside the boot of the skate to create a funky display for flowers or use the skates as bookends.
The key is using your imagination. Sometimes you have to be able to look at vintage items less for what they are and more for what they could be. So keep your eyes peeled and your mind open.

Happy thrifting!
