I get it. Some people think thrifted shoes are gross. I do not. So... this may not be your thing.
Nerves have taken over. What am I wearing at BlissDom?! Suddenly... my clothes suck. I'm stressed. I'm going thrifting.
I found some really cute nude heels that are perfect for all seasons, depending on how I style them. While walking around the store, I noticed they were a little crumpled on one foot. (Probably because Goodwill puts a rubberband around their shoes to keep pairs together.) Hardly noticeable while being worn...

As I'm checking out, I mention something to the sales clerk and she said, "Oh you could probably get the hair dryer after them and fix it easily. Just put some newspaper or a sock in the toe." What?! Okay, I've seen things like this on Pinterest multiple times but I never gave it much thought.
Onward and upward....
Proof of how unworn they are:
First I rolled up three socks: two regular sized and one knee-high. I shoved those puppies down in there...
Get out your hair dryer and shoot it at the crumpled area until it starts relaxing.
Finished product...
The only thing that is not my favorite about this is it stretched out the toe box for that shoe a bit. Now my right foot has room to grow. Other than that, It's pretty fantastic and I don't think it will be a major problem.
Also noteworthy- similar shoes are selling on eBay between $20-$30. I got mine for $5. You know I love a good bargain!
Are you going to try this sometime? What do you think? Can't even tell... except I already told you the secret. *Shhhhh*

I learned this trick from having to try and make my pointe shoes last in dance, haha. They look awesome. I've been thinkin' I need to get me a pair of nude heels I just haven't found any cheap enough that I liked. You lucky woman, you!
Reading your post I got a little anxious, haha! I got to thinking about how I'd feel if I was "in your shoes"<-(heh) getting ready for Blissdom. I'd probably be going through the similar thought process of, "Oh my gosh everything I own sucks/I'm not creative/I don't have any shoes"..haha. You are adorable of course and none of those thoughts are true. You always look wonderful =]
I wish I didn't care about used shoes! I could so wear a pair from someone I know, but a stranger...probably not!
