My stupidest post ever, but HELP! Do I buy 2yo dd: (1) one pair of white Stride Rite huarache-type shoes that could work for both playground and summer dresses--but not that cute; -or- (2) a pair of Saltwater Sandals for dresses and a comfy and cute pair of sandals for playground -- much cuter but twice as expensive.

Practical shoe mom here: Neither. White sandals? Are you kidding? Get a pair of neoprene water shoes (teva makes great ones) and a pair of sneaker janes or else more practical walker sandals. You're done. [ Reply | More

yeah yeah I know. but honestly, I can't stand the look of Tevas with summer dresses. DD dresses very practically all year, but in the summer, we get very lovely smocked hand-me-downs from SIL, and it's the only time all year she gets to look classic and cute. [ Reply | More
