I just bought these fancy summer espadrilles from Old Navy for my daughter. I am now just hoping that they last the entire summer…
I have officially given up being strict about what my daughter wears. Actually I did that about 3 years ago, when she started having strong opinions on the subject. Truly a girls girl, she never wears pants, and would have sparkles all over every last accessory if they were made available to her.
When she was a toddler, I would have rather keeled over than given in to the obsession with shine, but I now realize that the only way to beat ‘em is to (sort of) join ‘em. So if the shoes must glitter, at least they can do so in a way that is somewhat palatable to the adult (me, pretty much always) who will be constantly by the side of the kid in question.
Which is why I jumped at these silver espadrilles when I saw them yesterday at Old Navy (on sale now for $16… run don’t walk) Sure, Old Navy isn’t known for it’s high quality, but little feet grow faster than most shoes wear out anyway, so who cares? And at these kinds of prices (sorry J Crew) who really cares?
Let us just say that I walked to school beside a little girl whose sparkly feet were floating on air this morning. And if that isn’t a parenting high point, I don’t know what is.
Plus her favorite color is brown, Wonder Woman is her preferred princess, and she loves Tretorns, so all is not lost…
