Aunty outrageousness

Sometime as an Aunt you just have to be a little bit outrageous, and shower your nieces or nephews with things their sensible parents wouldn't buy them. So the other day I succumbed and bought these little Havaianas for Eli. They were on "sale" for $10. I thought to myself, 'is $10 really a sale for rubber thongs that will fit a two-year-old?', and then I discovered that full price they were $25, so I figured it must be. (Much as I love that little boy there is no way I would spend $25 on thongs for a toddler. I wouldn't spend $25 on thongs for me - and, curiously, the adult version is cheaper (what exactly is going on there?).)

They match nicely with the little Bonds hoody I bought him at Vinnies for about $1.50.

So now he can be a little surfy dude. (Note: I'm not really into branding up kids or dressing them like little adults - only sometimes. This post is just so you know I'm not all Little House on the Prairie and I don't only give these poor kids crocheted things.)
