The Children's Place Stuns Us

The Children's Place has had their share of ups and downs lately. Earlier this year, they were alleged to have mislead shareholders as to the actual performance of their stock and more recently, their stock has plummeted as they reported a loss of more than $7 million just over this past Summer.

To be brutally honest, it's been months since we've shopped at The Children's Place. Everything this year just seemed so....bright! The styles this year have been the typical cuteness that we've come to expect from The Children's Place, but we just haven't been feeling the colors that almost seem to glow in the dark (maybe they do, we haven't checked). And The Children's Place seemed to spend much of the year throwing coupons at us- from inserts in all the parenting magazines to birthday emails, to mailers- plus all those awesome sales...It broke our hearts to turn our backs on an old friend.

But this morning, checking the new fall collections and they were toned down....not bad....better than not bad...pretty cute....but then....OH THEN....INSPIRATION!

Cutest. Toddler. Shoes. Ever. Period.

We've never been so inspired by a toddler shoe. We want to take it home and love it and create a retro 80's, dark-denim-skinny-jeans look for our toddler with it! *swoon* We want a mommy version! In fact, we might just demand it!

So Children's Place, if you're listening, BRAVO! We still love you! And we love these shoes! And we hope you consider doing an ulta-cool Mommy version of them! We'll be your biggest fans!
