Shoe-be Doobie Doo

in Shopping

I loves me some shoes. The problem, of course, is that I’m wicked cheap and won’t spend money on shoes. I buy lots of $5 shoes, y’all.

In the past month, though, I’ve come across three pairs of bargain shoes that I could not pass up.

These blue ones were the first to catch my eye:

How cute is blue camouflage? And so versatile. Blue camouflage is the new brown flip-flop.

These little cream ones were on sale and perfect for a dress I just bought:

Let me just say these are some incredibly cute shoes. They’d have to be because y’all? I HATE white shoes and any variation thereof regardless of what holiday you’re talking about. HATE. THEM. But these I love. How could you not? Hello! Kitten heel!

And these little gems:

Chilihead_rocketdog

Don’t you just love the hula girls? Apparently Rocket Dog is cool. Apparently Rocket Dog is the brand the teens wear. (You know, I just looked it up and it said Chilihead = Wicked Cool. But I digress.) Want to know WHY Rocket Dog is so popular with the teens? Because when you take them out of the shoe box and put them in your closet and leave them there, the closet is filled with the harsh rubber scent of the soles and that oh-so-necessarily-prominent Rocket Dog logo. If I were a teen stashing pot? I’d totally have ten pairs of these.

I may have to get a pair of those Rocket Dogs. To disguise the unwelcome scent of dirty socks from the laundry in my closet. Good thinking. And wonderful choices. I too, am a five dollar shoe gal. They go on your FEET, for crying out loud.

One of the many things I love about you is that you will be able to pull off those camouflage shoes just perfectly. YOu and I both know that I couldn’t do it. *sigh* Maybe your wicked coolness will rub off on me…

Cracking up about the last sentence. Although you would need GREEN camoflauge shoes to hide it properly. Unless you’ve gone Bluegrass.
But none of these shoes show off the perfect toes! Better spend another 5 bucks. Those toes make the world a better place.
And now I sound like a pervert.

I am drooling.

I would not have picked up any of those shoes and said to myself, “I bet Chili would buy these.” You are a woman full of surprises.

Ha. Stashing Pot. Something I haven’t even thought my daughter might do….but chances are she will. One day. She’s only 19 months old now!
Cute shoes. I too think Blue Camo is going to be much more versatile than one might think.

I especially like the blue camo ones.

What? No shooties?

The Rocket Dogs are awesome. My daughter is a traditionalist; she prefers Converse All Stars. But she would approve of these!!

Love them all! I had been eyeing those Rocket Dogs, but was unexpectedly distracted by some polka-dotted Chucks.
Maybe I need both!
“Blue camouflage is the new brown flip-flop.”
Maybe that should be my tag line!

Rocket Dogs are SWEET! That’s what I call TT#3 when he’s feeling his Wheaties.

Love the title of this. : ) And the shoes are cool, too. And hey! My clothes basket looks like that on the bottom too!

I’m also a sucker for cheap shoes, especially for my Little Angel who owns more shoes for dressing up than the rest of the household put together! And she’s only 28 months old!
You’re right about the Rocket Dogs coolness factor: my younger sister loves this brand (she’s 17). What great bargains you’ve found!

I can’t see the first ones…
Meow! to the second ones. They’re totally cute.
And I think those last ones are fabulous! I’d wear them too, especially if they would make me anywhere as wicked cool as you!

It’s so hard to see those blue camo shoes, the way they just disappear into the blue background. Perfect for those stealth ops at the mall. :)
