They are remarkably predictable– sidling up behind me, holding hands, speaking in unison: “Mommy/Michelle, can we play in your closet?”
Being predictable myself, I always say ‘yes.’ And for the next two hours we hear ‘clomp, clomp, clomp’ on the bathroom tile as they remove all the shoes from my closet, arrange them in two straight lines and hold a fashion show.
I’ll make no apologies for my shoe collection; I love heels, I love color and I love the delight the little girls take in modeling them. Mary and Sarah have named each pair and provide a narrative for each other as they sashay down the aisle.
‘Red Rover’ is perfect for a day on the town.
‘Black Beauty’
‘Day In The Park’
‘Wedding’– yes, those are the shoes I was married in. Pretty boring. My cute husband has aged much better.
and their favorite pair–‘Beauty.’
Admit it, you’d let them raid your closet too.
And they always put the shoes back much neater that I do.

i love your collection and sarah has also just informed me that i need more colorful heels.

Tracy
What size did you say you wear?
Lizzy
I’m just jealous of your shoe collection. I wouldn’t blink an eye to let them be modeled.

Day in the Park? I own those shoes as well. Don’t they make you happy just putting them on?
The Planet Pink
Soooo… any shoes you’re bored with, you can mail them to me.

So funny! My friend and I used to raid her mom’s closet and play shoe store when we were little. We loved it because the mom was petite and had small feet, so her shoes weren’t much bigger than ours! 🙂
Cath
I want to come and play! And those hot pink heels with wide strap? SO darling. Can’t wait to run with you. We’re home. Hoping to see you Weds. I’ve missed you.

all of them are fabulous! love the collection and certainly the models. you are so nice to let them play. my girls’ never ask to wear mine, just boring old flip flops, and a single pair of pumps for church. now, that is boring!
