If you're as detailed as me, you've noticed scuffing on your shoes. If you haven't noticed and don't care, then carry on. This simple fix utilizes only a marker (I used a fine tip Sharpie). I learned this trick from my Dad who used brown markers to show me how to touch up simple furniture knicks, scratches, and scuffs. It works just as well on my nice heels!
All you need to do is color the scuffed leather edge with a marker that matches! This super simple fix is easy, inexpensive, and takes very little time. Do you have any handy household tricks used for maintaining your fashion and accessories? Please share!

Great tip! I just broke out my Prada patent leather burgundy kitten heels today for the first time in a while and I noticed some scuffs thinking that I need to take them in to get repaired. Maybe I can find a burgundy pen that works. :) xoxo
Oooh, simple and easy! I love it :)
Thanks for sharing this tip

I normally do that with nailpolish, because I made the experience that this keeps better on the shoe!

This is definitely an awesome quick fix for when shoes get scuffed up. Thanks for the tip! Also, thanks for stopping by over at my blog - following you now :) Would love if you do the same!
Magic Erasers remove all sorts of scuffs and marks from shoes and bags. Love them!
Nail polish remover also removes scuffs off patent leather. Google told me so. And I tried it and it was right!
I've used the permanent marker trick before too! Or shoe polish :)

1) I seriously just reached in my desk, pulled out my sharpie and promptly starting touching-up my black heels! Love this easy (and super affordable!) idea.
2) LOVELOVELOVE your yellow peplum blouse in the previous post. You look gorgeous and the cuffed sleeve details are beautiful...great sewing work girl!
Lastly, you should totally do a lil' pop of neon with a cute belt for the "Trend of the Month Challenge!" I am personally terrified of neon...so I will probably only do earrings and a belt. :-)

Looks wonderful. Thanks for the tip. I have some shoes I will definitely be trying this on.
Very cool! <3

That is awesome, simple, and quick! Thanks for sharing.
For the insides of my shoes, I use baby wipes to clean them.
I've done that a bunch of times, too! I've even used sharpie to color bleach spots in clothes. Yeah, its a bit cheap looking but when you're bartending, no one can notice!
That's an awesome idea <3 Great post mary <3 Love your blog & outfits!!!!
