too much to go near them. In her opinion, shoes are not supposed to reflect sparkling light. I'm inclined to agree regarding everyday wear shoes.

When she was about 4 months old, she raced across the floor and plunged her front paws into a sandal that I'd just taken off. She was so little then that most of her body would have fit into the one shoe. She looked up at me playfully as if she got the joke about her size compared to mine. "Look mom, I can put TWO feet in one shoe, with room left over."

then I should probably eat more fruit.

Perhaps Ember's objection to the sandals is based on fashion sense. "Egads mom, those sparkles are so tacky."

In which case, I agree. I would not have bought them if I couldn't remove the sparkles. The sandals will look good without them.

fairy lights in them. Because you can never have enough sparkles.

I like sparkly things in some cases, too, like jewelry. Even in shoes for special occasions. But they do not work, IMO, with these shoes. So they are coming off. The leather tops of these sandals are wide bands, with little cutouts in them. The sparkles just gild the lily, unnecessarily. I often tweak clothing and jewelry to suit me. I get a style or color that I like in general, even if there is something about it that I don't like, and then alter it to my taste.
