Eve knew, from the first time her eyes gazed upon all the sparkly shoes sitting on the shelf, which color was "the one" for her.
Red.
She's loved them ever since that moment. Loved them to death.
I can't pry them from her. Not that I've tried. I've come to the point in my mothering career where I've learned to let some things go. And that includes Eve wearing these shoes in public.
They make her happy. She loves them. And I love her.
I wish I could buy her a new pair but I don't live near the Target where we bought them at. Or any Target for that matter. And I haven't seen shoes similar to hers around here. Shopping is very, well, limited in this town. So, she wears them and it's okay.
Maybe not classy but it's okay.
And hey, at least we know we didn't waste our money.

Loved this post.
Loved it.
Don't we all need to be reminded every so often about those things that we love. Those little things that mean squat to someone else...but the world to us?
Thank you for reminding me.
My dearest daughter Jasmyn had a pair of pink sparkly shoes that after a while looked the same! She wore them EVERY DAY! Didn't matter if they matched her outfit or not (but really what doesn't match pink sparkle shoes?!?!)She loved those shoes. She actually was very sad when her feet outgrew them.
Thanks for sharing with us and reminding me of our own well loved shoes!
Ebay has everything!
Here are some I found for you searching red glitter ballet shoes.

My little girl had the same shoes but in pink. She actually went through TWO pairs. They too were well loved. Aren't little girls the sweetest?
so sweet.... one of my boys did that with a pair of alligator rain boots. :)
When we were stationed in Ft. Campbell, KY we lived on post and the little girl next door to us was OBSESSED with Wizard of Oz, I bought those sames shoes for her and she wore them constantly, I would buy her a new pair every time she grew out of them, or just wore them out! Unfortunately now 11 years later she's to old to find a pair to fit, but she tell's me she remembers all of those "Dorothy" shoes!
What size are those precious shoes? We have 4 Targets around here!!
Great picture of Eve's well loved shoes. Lily had them in silver. She was sad to grow out of them but she was happy that Eden will get to wear them someday. I have sparkly shoes too. You can always use spray adhesive and some red glitter to fix them. I was in the wizard of OZ back in middle school. That's how my mom made my sparkly red shoes.
Too sweet.
Great reminder to choose your battles...some just aren't worth it, and she's so darn cute it doesn't matter anyway:)
Your blog is great!! Those shoes brought back memories for me. My oldest who is now 13 LOVED the wizard of oz and had a dorothy outfit with those shoes. She wore the whole thing everyday and there were many a trips out of the house dressed like Dorothy. She had moved on to older teen age things but I will always remember her in that outfit!!
Her shoes are beautiful (says someone obsessed with Dorothy and her Ruby Slippers...)!
I think people expect kids to wear unusual things...and hey, she's always very well dressed!
Eve is a girl after my own heart!I love sparkly red shoes too! I have a pair just like them that I got for my Dorothy costume, and threatened to wear around town. I loved them so much that I wore red shiny, sparkly shoes for my wedding. ( those however were made for grown ups) Love the picture!!
Me + Target = Love! You email me that baby's shoe size so I can go buy her a brand new pair! Every little girl deserves a new pair of red, glittery shoes. Just ask me, I know this! :0)
Aww it took my back to when my daughter was snow white for halloween and we bought those shoes at target then wore them for then rest for the year with everything then Summer came and the girl didn't care she even sported them with her shorts..so I understand the LOVE for those sparkly shoes...I did loves them too! :) the sweet memories...aww my momma heart :)
grace has pink ones that look the same. she's wearing them right now. there was only pink at the time. if there had been red, she'd have gotten those in a heartbeat!

Great photo and I love the shoes! So sparkly! As mommies we do have to choose our battles wisely which is why sometimes my son is known to wear his Lightning McQueen sunglasses at night.
:)
How cute....I think we've all had that pair of shoes we couldn't live without and wore them to death!!! You could always take a red sharpie to them C(:
sparkly shoes are a big hit with the girly girls. Ava had a little pink sparkly pair but, she's outgrown them and has now moved on to loving her black patent leather mary janes. She calls them her party shoes.
What a great picture to frame!
Andrea-
We have super target and i'm there quite alot! If you really want a pair I am MORE than happy to send them to you!
This is a gorgeous picture! And a true example of picking your battles as a parent. You're wonderful!
Love the picture Andrea! You never fail to impress me with your photography.
Way to go Molly! You should give that girl a gold star. I was going to suggest repairing them. You know you can make them as good as new. I bet Eve would love that as a project!
Awesome post. Your photos tell such stories. Your children will LOVE LOVE looking back at them when they are older. You don't even need captions.
These shoes are seriously beautiful. My daughter wants those shoes, also. I told her we would see what we could do. Unfortunately, since we saw them last they have not carried the red ones and only have the silver ones and the pink ones.
Those shoes must be magical. My daughter's are worn just like those and she won't let me get rid of them either! Finally I gave in. After all, how long can you get away with wearing sparkly red shoes every day?
She is not- I repeat NOT alone. And so neither are you in the wearing them in public mortification...
