Encourage Her Shoe Fetish

Iโ€™m a minimalist when it comes to dressing babies: No jewelry, no fancy hats, and no booties. My girls didnโ€™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.

Iโ€™m a minimalist when it comes to dressing babies: No jewelry, no fancy hats, and no booties. My girls didnโ€™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 Iโ€™d known about The Clever Kittyโ€™s felted Mary Janes. Hand-knit by a Maine designer from vibrant merino wool then hand-felted into a formed but flexible shoe, theyโ€™re the perfect accessory for those photo ops. And considering how reasonably theyโ€™re pricedโ€“just $24โ€“these beauties arenโ€™t really an indulgence at all. More like a necessity.
(While youโ€™re on the site, donโ€™t miss her felted "high tops" either. The green ones? Irresistible.)
No wonder that shoe fetish starts so early in some girls. โ€“Julie
