I thought this would be a good post just before Easter, seeing as this morning I spent a few minutes shining up my daughter’s new-to-her little white dress shoes for church tomorrow.

I like to buy larger sized kid’s shoes at yard sales and thrift shops so that I am prepared ahead of time, and don’t find myself in a pinch when my child suddenly doesn’t have any shoes that fit. I hate it when I am forced to buy them new for lack of time to look!

Let’s face it though, used dress shoes usually aren’t in the best shape. More times than not they are scuffed up, and a little dirty. But you know what, that’s okay! See, us thrifty mama’s, we get a good deal because someone thinks the shoes are just dirty and ruined.

We know a little secret…

Nail polish remover will get rid of those scuffs in no time!

See the scuff? Looks impossible to remove to an untrained eye…

I used nail polish with acetone, but any kind works. Just wet a cottonball, rub the scuff and… Voilà

Good as new!

Have a Happy Easter!!
