Of shoes and spots...

Recently, the Philippine TOMS franchise went on sale. They sold Tiny TOMS at 50% off. Yes, I repeat, 50% off. Now who could resist that? So, I went on a panic spree, and bought this:

Tiny TOMS Cords in Pink

... and this:

Tiny TOMS Cords in Crimson

The choice of colors was obvious... I've always loved red, and red TOMS are the coolest (in my opinion). However, my eldest daughter is in a phase where everything she wears has to be either girly or pink. TOMS are obviously not girly - hence, the pink cords. Lucky me, I have another daughter, who is too young to express an opinion (thank God) - a pair of crimsons please, thank you very much! Never mind that daughter #2 is not walking yet, nor will she fit into the crimsons soon (not for another 6-9 months at least). I had to own those red TOMS.

Then Kelly of Tot Snob came out with this post on leopard spotted TOMS booties with pink soles.

How cute is that? Definitely "rawr," without being over the top. They reminded me very much of these socks that daughter #2 owned - made by Funky Feet.

Daughter #2 was going to outgrow these socks soon and I need to keep her funky. I need a replacement with new spots. I wasn't going to get those TOMS booties (except if they came with a 50% lower price tag - maybe). Good thing I didn't have to worry so much - because there is a local alternative, that's also very affordable. Did I mention they are "rawr" perfect too?

So, in less than 2 months, daughter #2, who can barely stand on her own, is the proud owner of 2 new pairs of shoes. Heck, a girl can't have too many pairs of shoes, can she?
