Shopping Thursdays

I don’t know what made me think of it, but in December, I found these great, beautiful, nightgown cullottes, for the girls. A lady in Utah sews them, and sells them online. I found them after hours of searching online – literally. I bought a few for the girls (I hope to feature them next week, and will invite the lady that sews them to share with us how she does). They are made out of a tricot fabric – a silky smooth material, that you can throw in the wash, into the dryer, and don’t need to iron. Unfortunately, it is a nylon material, which are not my favorite. But, my girls love, love, love them!

Anyways, I wanted some slippers to go with them. And, I wanted to find those little mock-ballet slippers, in pink satin.

Walmart has great ones, 2 pack for $4. Danskin satin sippers in pink or white. They have a little cute bow on the front. Unbeatable price. And, super comfy. I think they are sold-out online. But, I found them at our local store and bought some for the girls.

Here are a pair I bought from a Payless Shoe Store in Chinatown (Manhattan). Not all stores carry them. They were more expensive because they are leather. Made by American Ballet Theatre.

And, here is a picture of a pair of ballet slippers that I purchased on e-bay. You can buy then in all different colors. Only $7. Our toddler wore a pair of these with her red Christmas dress for pictures. (eDanceZone is the store name). Yes! This is how this all started, now I remember. I needed a pair of red dress shoes. And, I couldn’t find anything under $40. But, I knew they would only be worn once. So, that’s when I thought of red ballet slippers instead. They are a perfect innocent style of shoe for little girls. And, just $7. And, they have a leather sole! Imagine that.
