when i was a little older (say four; at three i was still tomboyishly exploring the world) i lusted for shoes like that, in my own size, with a lust that has really never been equalled since.
but it was clear to me they weren't little girl shoes, or even little boy shoes (which is kind of what i really wore), and while you wanted to be pretty you wanted very much also to be modest. i have explicit memories of being insulted by attention when not dressed modestly enough to suit my taste as a two year old.
the sexualized toddler thing bothers me.
