The Princess and Her Shoes

As I was searching for a pair of sandals in "the basket" the other day, it occurred to me that The Princess has A LOT of shoes.

Back in 2009 I posted HERE about The Princess getting new shoes. That specific time shopping, we ended up with 6 pairs of shoes. And I thought that was a lot.

Her latest collection of "current" shoes (shoes that fit her NOW), is MUCH larger.

So as I was looking for that pair of sandals the other day, I decided to line up her shoes and count how many pairs she has, and of course to take a picture to share here on the blog.

To my surprise, this 2 YEAR OLD has SIXTEEN (16) pairs of CURRENT shoes! (2 not pictured, flip flops)

W.O.W.!!!!

And with THAT I would like to say two things...

1) Yes, she really wears ALL of them at one time or another.
2) I did NOT buy her all of these shoes. She is lucky to have a shoe obsessed NaNa who helped this collection grow. :-)

Love little shoes!


ETA: After reviewing the shoe photo, I decided to label each pair with who bought them. Maybe I am more shoe obsessed than her NaNa?


This pic below is labeled, it does not include 2 current pairs I couldn't find the match to last night. I also have 2 pairs up in the closet for when she grows a bit. :)

Tally: 1 Aunt Tricia, 5 NaNa, 1 Formerly The Superhero's (maybe NaNa?), and 9 Mommy!

Shoes

First of all, I LOVE having a little girl! (I love my little man too, but girl shopping is the BEST!)

In August we went to the shoe store to buy The Princess’ 1^st shoes. She was showing signs that she would be walking soon and I wanted to be prepared with shoes. I planned on getting a pair for right then and a pair or two for winter.

We ended up with 6, yes S-I-X pairs of shoes for her. How did we end up with 6 you ask?

Well, we needed casual ones,

white ones,

black ones,

brown ones,

tennis shoes,

and one extra pair just because they were cute!

I had the best time shopping for her shoes. I am VERY thankful for the Stride Rite Outlet store, so I can save money while going overboard on shoe buying.

I can’t wait until she outgrows them so we can get more.
