We have recently started giving our eldest daughter a small clothing allowence each month,so she can learn to be responsible for buying her own clothes & budgeting.

 

She hasn't really bought anything yet, but Parcelforce have just turned up with a parcel for her containing a pair of blue sequin Converses which were £50

 

At least she saved up for them,I suppose.

It would seem that I have been a bad influence on my daughter

Just hope she doesn't need anything more practical for a while!

 

[Guest]

A BARGAIN! methinks.

 

They are fabulous, she saved up, she bought online - she's a shopper in the making!

[Omletina Kyckling]

That is wonderful....my mum always says that I was sent as punishment for her - she was well known for being rather talkative and full of life and wore all her family down, and they think it's hilarious that she got a mini-me (anybody who has met me will know that I'm not the silent, retiring type).....her boots look fab....your message really made me smile this morning

[chickenanne]

OOhh, I want them! Be honest, you're jealous too!

[Phonix]

they're soooo kewl!!

 

She's being really sensible - saving up and getting what she really wants rather than just wasting her money on anything!

 

xXx

[Egluntyne]

She has been well taught!

 

They look smashing.

[craftyhunnypie]

Oooo I like those! I love sparkly things, so I think I'll be saving for a pair of those too.

I think it's great that she saved up & got what she really wanted, instead of making do with ' cheap shoes'. Good on her!

Happily we are the same shoe size, so I think I may be borrowing them once or twice

She is going to debut them at her college introductions day on Friday,so long as its not raining, worn with her Boden antiqued blue velvet blazer she got for Christmas last year

[Seagazer]

Wow they are lovely My daughter (21) thinks she shopped badly last week as she only bought two pairs of shoes She loves converse shoes and has them in various colours and styles. I'll have to show her the photo of the sparkly ones!

[The Dogmother]

Those are gorgeous Sarah, the girl has good taste.

 

I have some 'shabby chic' silver sneakers, sadly my mini-me takes the same size shoes as me and wears them more than I do!

[Looney]

Very indeed!

[clootie]

How old is ED Cinnamon - she sounds lovely? I'm not letting my daughter get a peep at those - any other colours, just out of curiosity you understand?!

Never mind - she's still growing! One day your shoes will be your own again.

[chickencam]

Very cool

 

My ED would love them, she thought that she had splashed out when she bought a pair with dice on them from New Look a whole £10, she's a bit of a cheap skate like me

 

Unfortunately my daughter takes size 7 shoes and I only take 4.5 I was looking forward to having a teenage daughter to share with, we can manage some clothes but not shoes

She is 15, going on 20

I also have a 13 year old daughter, who is a proper shopper & will prove to be huge trouble when she is older

We already have to field her phone calls from young gentlemen

[clootie]

 

Mine is 13 this month

[jlo]

I am going to have to keep DD away from the forum - she would LURVE those!

[Cinnamon]

They come in silver, red & pink too

[clootie]

Think I like the blue best ................

[The Dogmother]

The red ones sound a bit Dorothy

 

I love them!

Aaaah and so it begins you have my utmost sympathy wait till they bring home one you cant stand the sight of and have to

[ubereglu]

They look ace! Mind you, I'd prefer a new pair of proper leather boots to them-will definitely be going around the sales after Christmas. I'm more of a sale shopper I have to admit and here's a list of some of the bargains I own:

 

A gorgeous Joules kimono-y type top which was £11.30 reduced from £35

A lovely dress from Oasis for £5 reduced from £48

A pair of Roxy Cords from a closing down sale for £5 reduced from £55

A pair of black jeans from Topshop for £10 reduced from £40

 

I love sales!!! I really hope that a gorgeous coat I saw in Monsoon goes down to 70% in January as it's gorgeous but costs £80...

[Cinnamon]

Devon tried on & fell in love with the most gorgeous butter soft black leather biker jacket in Next last week, which we are hoping will be in the sales

 

I will try to grab one for her 16th birthday,if I can fight my way through the crowds!

Can anyone tell me if Converse sneakers are suitable for wider feet? I have cornish pasty feet and would really like a sequin pair (especially in red ) I wouldnt get the ankle style boots though and would go for the normal lace up short sneaker.
