I’m a minimalist when it comes to dressing babies: No jewelry, no fancy hats, and no booties. My girls didn’t wear shoes until they could walk, and I still grin at the professional portraits we have of them with bare toes peeking out from underneath their dresses.
But I might have relaxed my ban on crib shoes if I’d known about The Clever Kitty’s felted Mary Janes. Hand-knit by a Maine designer from vibrant merino wool then hand-felted into a formed but flexible shoe, they’re the perfect accessory for those photo ops. And considering how reasonably they’re priced–just $24–these beauties aren’t really an indulgence at all. More like a necessity.
(While you’re on the site, don’t miss her felted "high tops" either. The green ones? Irresistible.)
No wonder that shoe fetish starts so early in some girls. –Julie
