One day, while wandering the local mall, I found these little pink French Toast boots for Yuula. I thought she could use some extra shoes and these seemed perfect. I of course wanted to check and see what Laura thought about them so I waited til she could join us on another day. The boots were $28.99.
When finally the three of us were able to take an outing together we visited the same store only to find them completely sold out of the pink French Toast boot. I went online when we got home and found them at the Target website. Only $20. Bargain, I will buy them for Christmas. One pair of size 6 please.
Christmas comes and Yuula opens her pink French Toast boots and for some reason Laura decides to check the size, not only on the box where it read "Size 6" but also on the shoe itself, which just so happened to read "Size 7". That is a big difference when we were already pushing it for her to wear a 6. So we returned them to Target today, where of course, they had no more.
On a whim we stopped at the local mall again on the way home from returning the boots (actually I wanted a new cardigan and thought they'd be having some post-season sales, which they did) and low and behold there was one pair of pink French Toast boots for sale, size 6. On the box and on the boot. $9.99. We snatched them up and she wore them out of the store.
And up the escalator.
In our world that is a saga. Let's hear it for small victories.
