Recessionista: Chugga Chugga

These are so cute!

I saw these and immediately got that zombie glazed-over look that kids get when they are magically transported to the world of Thomas the Tank Engine and the Island of Sodor. Usually, I would post less expensive versions of chic boots, but I don’t like to profile cheap shoes for kids when their feet are growing. Plus, I love these $37 boots, and the kids will love them -- especially when they see that the actual Thomas face is raised.

And what’s good is that these will take you through a season and then you’ll be magically exported to another trend!

The color is so vibrant and cheerful. Your kids will thank you. There are absolutely no rules here. Ah, to be a kid again!

    Terri is right, this Us Weekly faux twist on the recessionista blog is cra-zeee. the original on blogspot is still the best. Terri said, "Let me get this straight: $37 for a pair of RUBBER boots that your kid will have outgrown and/or worn out after 1 season? During a recession?? Sorry, but that is in no way cheap--particularly if there's more than 1 child in the family. Payless (go BOGO!), Kmart, Target and Walmart all have WAY better prices."

  • November 04, 2009 - 2:01pm I love rubber boots, but

    why wouldnt she post cheap shoes for a growing kid? shouldn growing kids be in cheaper clothes because, in essence, they GROW OUT of them?
