for being so darn on top of things. LOL

My oldest daughter is obsessed with Taylor Swift. So, just about everything on her Christmas list is somehow related to TS.

She had asked for either a pair of red Converse Chuck Taylor's OR a pair of Red Keds cause that's what TS wears (and she was shocked that I knew what Keds were, btw. She thought they were this new shoe that just came out. LOL)

I couldn't find Red Keds anywhere, so I ordered her a pair of Red Chuck Taylor's from ebay (new), and they came last week.

Then today, I got a notice from the TS online store that today only, as part of their 13 Days Of Taylor (T's birthday is Dec 13), they have this package (http://store.taylorswift.com/RED-Keds-On-The-Go-Holiday-Package/dp/B00AI7BH3O) (these were NOT on the site when I ordered there for Black Friday).

If I hadn't already ordered the Chuck Taylors or even if I'd gotten them somewhere where I could return them, I would be ALL over this cause she would freak out (I got a good deal on the Chuck Taylors... that's why I ordered them from ebay).

For a split second, I thought I could just keep the Chuck Taylor's myself (we wear the same size), but then I remembered that I'm SO not cool enough to pull off that look. LOL

Oh well. She'll still love what she got, and she'll never know about this.

That stinks but I'm sure she will love the shoes you got her!

I'm such a sucker, I'd totally keep the Chucks and order these. I'm also an enabler. ;) Really though, I have a Taylor fanatic too. I wanted so badly to buy her tickets for Christmas but for the 4 of us it was going to be well over $500 and that seemed silly. Maybe next year...

ugh! But I have to chuckle at that she was surprised you knew what keds were! haha... oh kids - before we were your Mom, we were cool, too... well, I was never... ;)

Aww - that stinks Lib! You could resell the Chucks. You might not get exactly what you paid for them, but you'd get most of it back.

A girl can use TWO pairs of red shoes, ya know. ;)

And I LOVE Keds!! I used to wear white ones all the time.

.

yes you are! I totally would wear them, and I'm much older and uncool than you. :p Red sweater, jeans and those shoes or Chucks. Yes, I'd rock that look.

Maybe you could still get these and keep them for her birthday or maybe they could be a gift from Chloe!?!?! And I agree with Julie you could totally rock the red chucks!!! :thumbup:

BUY IT! BUY IT!

After all, it's a great deal, right?? And you can totally pull off the look. You could be twinkies. ; )

LOL You guys are not helping!! Bunch of enablers! ;)

No really, I'm seriously tempted to go ahead and order them, BUT TS tickets go on sale here next week. I'd rather buy concert tickets than a 2nd pair of shoes (though maybe I *could* rock the Chucks myself if I take her to the concert... hmmm) LOL

I would really be tempted to grab this deal. I'm a sucker for things like that. My daughters love TS, too!

I hate when that happens! You could pull off the red Chuck Taylors (and get more cool mom points for letting her borrow them), but if it's the shoes or the tickets just delete the email and pretend you never knew about it.

You can rock them. Not that that's helping, but you can. You could TOTALLY pull it off.

You could totally rock the red Chucks Libby! I have a grey pair w/purple laces that I love and I also had a white pair, a black pair and a black sparkly pair but Kaylie has claimed those 3 pairs for herself now that she wears the same size as Mom lol!

Isn't it fun when you can wear the same shoes?

No real advice, but I think concert tickets are better than a 2nd pair of shoes.

I would totally get the deal too. And YES you can pull off wearing the chucks. I found a FABULOUS pair of teal chucks last night that Im drooling over. Oh and a pair of black metallic rainbow too!
