Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!

Jeff and I took a ride over Malibu Canyon, down the coast through Malibu and ended up on 3rd Street in Santa Monica.  I had $50.00 free dollars to spend at Pottery Barn and wanted to check out the 3 story Pottery Barn down there.  I did get things but more about that another day.  3rd Street is a very popular tourist area with lots of cool shops, street entertainers and lots of restaurants.  While strolling along we came upon a Skecher's Shoe Store with an unbelievable array of shoes for men, women and kids.  I had to take this photo of the girls shoes because I would have loved to have choices like this when I was a girl or even when Jessica was a little girl.  Sadie, I thought of you and your daughter when I saw this display.  Wondering if you have Skecher's in Britain.  Click to enlarge and see these amazing shoes!
  

They had a spring sale where if you bought one pair, the second pair was 30% off.  I bought my first pair- the black with hot pink trim- at Kohl's but really wanted the hot coral ones but they didn't have my size.  I saw the coral ones at this Skecher's store but the ones that really caught my eye were a lace-up pair that I just had to have.  Even Jeff thought they were the coolest shoes ever.  I told him to find a men's pair and we'd be able to get the discount but he didn't like how lightweight they are... which is one of the things I like about them so he told me to get the coral ones along with the lace ups so here's my shoe loot.
I never thought I'd be wearing neon again- been there, done that- but they go really well with my workout outfits.

On Friday, I'll post the things I got at Pottery Barn and also some really great finds from HomeGoods/TJ Maxx!

    Hi Darylynn, I have noticed the bright neon colors too and I have been a bit reluctant to buy something to wear. The shoes look neat though and for workout clothing, they're a lot of fun. I saw your Skechers photo on FB and I wish those were around when I was young! They look like they were designed by "Lisa Frank" since they match her stickers, notebooks, etc. Have a terrific day!

    oh now you're talking my language! Shoes! Love your stash, and just LOVE that display! Yes, we have them here, but not as much choice as that. Girl would go bonkers! I'm proud to say she's a shoe girl like a mama!
    She's still all about the Lelli Kelly's though I've had to put a stop to it. They aren't as sturdy as I'd like and she only wants them for the free gift .. and the sparkleyness of them!

    Neon! The multicolored ones are cool for sure. Sounds nice that they are light weight too. I don't like heavy shoes at all.
    Can't believe those high top sneakers in the store display.
    Glad you had a fun time shopping.
    hugs

    Hi Darylynn, I am all caught up here. Sorry about your back problems. I know I have them too and I agree, we small women do way to much and we pay the price. I am so out of shapre. My arms were nice when I was taking care of my dad but I lost 10 pounds and a lot of it was muscle. Dr said severe stress will do that. I took your advise and went for a long walk at the park and taked to God. I have felt better since. My parents are with Him now and I need to enjoy my time with my family. My grand daughters would love those shoes! You see, they both know they are princesses! Enjoy the therapy! Hugs

    Hey Darylynn... it is Sketchers week. As you know, I bought mine at Kohls this week and was happy with the savings I got there. Anyway, I didn't go neon... but went navy. I only really had the choice of navy and gray. I am happy with navy even though it isn't as fun as neon. Have a wonderful weekend! I am on a small weekend trip with Kari and the boys. Will write about that later although I was able to get off a post today. HUGS
