Think Warm! Prepare for Summer with This Deal

Are you sick of the winter weather yet? In Ann Arbor we have had a horrible winter. We've used 4 "snow" days, mostly for extremely low temperatures (wind chill below -20F). Other days (like today) we have had quite a bit of snow and bad road conditions, but still had school.

This morning while going through my email I saw that Zulily is offering a deal on Keen's sandals. I am torn between feeling hopeful that summer is coming, or taunted with the idea of summer clothing while stuck in a miserable winter. Either way, I wanted to share the deal with you (so you can decide to feel hopeful or taunted as well).

Until last summer I never gave much thought to what my daughter was wearing. Then, in mid-August she did a water themed week of Girl Scout summer camp. They asked us to send the kids in shoes that could get wet but were securely fastened (no Crocs or flip flops). Of course the email came at 3p on Friday before camp starts and I was booked until 9p on both Friday and Saturday and had plans most of Sunday. Fortunately, a few of my friends also had daughters in the same camp and were able to do some scouting for me. We found the Circo (Target brand) version of Keen's on clearance since it was late in the season.

My daughter loved those shoes. I wish we had purchased them earlier in the summer since she practically lived in them for the rest of August and on a rainy week at Disney World in November. For next summer, I will definitely be buying her either Keens or the Target version again.

If you want to get a jump-start on your summer shoe shopping (or maybe you have a mid-winter or spring break trip planned), today there are KEEN on sale at Zulily.

In looking through the Kids election, I was drawn to these purple Keens which are available in a toddler 9 through a Youth 6. My only concern is what shoe size she will be wearing by summer. Her current winter shoes are all a size 3 (up from a 1 last winter), but in her latest pair of sneakers she is almost into a size 4. With the rate her feet have suddenly started to grow, I am hesitant to buy now.

For a boy (or a girl looking for something other than the traditional pink/purple), there is this Caribbean Blue pair or a Chili Pepper Red pair.

Additionally, they also have adult KEEN shoes on sale. With this deal, the whole family can match and be prepared for the summer.
