My mom didn't. She couldn't afford to. And although we can technically afford to, philosophically I am not on board with designer kids stuff for many reasons. Mostly, you don't need a bunch of name brand, expensive things to be liked. I used to judge parents in malls buying their kids such things.
That was until I got a kid, and I wanted that kid to be liked, and all my attempts at buying less expensive "cool" shoes have back fired. Proving that a 34-year-old has no real sense of what is cool to 11-year-olds.
So behold Rose in shoes more expensive than any I owned until I was 27. Will they automatically make her popular? Nope. Did they make her so happy that she's been up since seven today wearing them around the house? Yep.
So that is probably worth the cost, my loss of personal conviction, and the people who were walking by the shoe store judging me.
