My favorite granddaughter turns 16 years old this week.
Her love affair with shoes started at a young age -- especially those with some bling!
Her mother hates to shop, so I've been the designated shopper for this cutie pie over the years. But, I about lost the title last year when she and I came home with these sparkly high heels. The family just about decided that Caitlin and I couldn't be trusted to shop for shoes. She was so excited as we picked out her first homecoming dress, then these shoes. I couldn't resist.
It's not just the fancy shoes that tickle her. Her sock wardrobe is beyond belief. Even a pair of plain grey Keds are paired with hot pink socks.
Purple socks are a necessity to jazz up your running shoes at a 5K race.
And, plaid shoes are perfect for any occasion.
Last week, the family agreed we could go shopping for some happy 16th birthday shoes. Caitlin told me on the way to the city that she thought some black pumps would look fabulous with skinny jeans. I knew then what we were going to come home with -- it was out of my control!
When you are tall anyway, 6" heels puts you easily over 6 feet. Being short myself, I don't know how anyone walks up in that rarefied air anyway. But, she does it like she has done it for years. We'll see if the family ever lets us go shoe shopping again.
Where have the years gone? I pine for the day I bought these cute, little Mary Janes. Check out those socks with the hint of red tights. I wonder where she learned how to choose her shoes and socks?

Happy Birthday, Caitlin. May you always walk strong and tall!
