T&C: Taking Fashion Cues From a 4 Year Old

November 10, 2010
Back in February my friend Susan blogged about her daughters shoes. They're the sweetest little girl shoes and ever since I laid eyes on them, I've been on the hunt for the grown up version. It's been a long hunt I tell you. Nearly 9 months. It's the best feeling to have found them just in time for winter! Last Saturday night we headed over to our nearest thrift store to donate a pile of goodies we didn't need anymore. While we were there dropping everything off, I had the sudden urge to go inside & take a look around. Chris, lovingly obliged & waited in the car with Penelope. While I was frantically looking around for any organizational furniture/boys clothes I came across loads of sweet goodies, but I still needed to check out the shoes. It's not like I need more shoes. Straight to the boot section I went & BAM! We connected! My boots! My sweet boots that I've longingly been searching for! At first they looked really big. I thought they were perhaps a size 8 (in which case I totally would have bought them for Susan), but alas! They were a 7! They're leather, they fit, they're in perfect condition & best of all. . . they were $3. Can anyone beat $3 for new winter boots? I wasn't so sure how Chris would react to these shoes, but it looks like he likes them just as much as I do. They're great. Oh, and interestingly enough, I spotted the same boots on design*sponge today. What kind of deals have you found lately? Please share (feel free to include links!), I want to see!
