Striking gold.

It was only at the end of November that I bought Juliana her latest pair of Ugg knockoffs.  Uggies we call them.  She spotted them at Joe Fresh and had them on her feet before I could say "you're not getting....."  But they fit her like Cinderella's slipper.  And they were gold.  Gold.  In fact, all I could say when she tried them on was "Wow, honey, they are so........gold."  (The woman standing beside me snickered.)

So we paid for them and she put them on in the car on the ride home.  After that it was almost impossible to get them off her feet.

She wears them as slippers:

She wears them while draped over the chair to read a book:

She falls asleep in them: 

She dances in them:

She daydreams in them (no doubt a daydream about living with a mom that thinks it's ok to wear boots on the couch):

She wears them to run errands:

And three weeks later, she wears them as they start to split at the toe:

Some people might think they're cheap - splitting after just three weeks - but she honestly wears them 24/7.

Cheap Uggies.  When you're 9 years old there is almost no better thing.  Unless they also come in silver.....
