Walking in a WINTER WONDERLAND, that is.

How many pairs of boots does one toddler need? The answer is definitely NOT five. But five she has. Actually six, because I discovered today that her boots from last year still fit. Whoops.

I first bought the black and brown bebe boots from Home Goods. I kind of hate the whole baby brand name aspect of these boots, but I love the price. They were $12.99 each, and they look and feel super warm.

Then we went to Off Broadway Shoes in Potomac Mills and they were having a sale AND they were having ‘Buy One Get One Half Off’ on top of the sale. So we bought a pair of snow boots (just in case) and a pair of very fashionable black lace-ups with hearts and smiley faces (just in case we take a trip to Milan). I paid $55.63 for both.

And then we went to Nordstrom Rack.

I should have started at Nordstrom Rack.

We found the CUTEST pink boots. They are like fake Uggs, but with zippers. AND POM POMS. Of COURSE I bought them. ($24.99.) How could I not!?

(Seriously, if you know the secret to saying no to an adorable two year old, TELL ME.)
