Fashion That Gives: Join the TOMS One for One Movement with Zulily's Special Members-Only Pricing & Free Shipping

This post has been written as part of a sponsored campaign for the Zulily affiliate program. All opinions expressed are my own.

I've shared many charitable programs that benefit children with 3G2S readers over the years. I am a huge fan of purchasing gifts that give and the same goes for fashion that gives. There's something about knowing that your purchase helped someone in need that makes you have a little extra spring in your step, especially when that purchase was a pair of TOMS shoes.

TOMS One for One movement gives one child in need a pair of shoes for every one pair you purchase. As if that isn't incentive enough, Zulily has organized a special TOMS event that offers special members-only pricing plus free shipping with your TOMS order totaling more than $65. So, if you are starting to shop for springtime footwear for your family or something comfortable to wear on vacation during Spring break, be sure to checkout the selection of TOMS shoes for men, women, and children on Zulily. The special pricing will be gone after 2/22, so don't miss out on this chance to help a child in need (and to get some cute new shoes)!

Shop 'n' Share: Great Prices for Kids' Skechers & New Balance Sneakers

If your children are anything like our nearly 8 year old son, then he (or she) already has certain brand names he wants for things like graphic tees and sneakers. Since our son no longer wears shoes that fall in the toddler category, the price for the same pair of shoes is about $10 more on average. I am not sure if it is the way I was brought up, but I refuse to spend $40 or $50 on a pair of shoes that will be outgrown in 3 months time. It is possible to buy quality shoes in the brands my son wants at a reasonable price.

There are some stores where I happen to get lucky once in awhile and find some Skechers, New Balance, or Nike sneakers on sale, such as Sears, Dick's Sporting Goods, and Marshalls. I have purchased good brand name children's sneakers from these stores for anywhere from $20 to $30. If I need to buy a pair of sneakers for my son in the near future, I really do not want to check so many stores just hoping to get "lucky". A few months ago, I realized that Famous Footwear carries the brand names that my son wants and often have a Buy One Get One Half Off deal. I now consider FamousFootwear.com a reliable source for me to shop for shoes for my family. My husband also is very specific about what brand of sneakers he trusts, so having the BOGO deal really works out for us.

I just purchased these Skechers Kids' Volcanic Sneakers for my son and a pair of New Balance sneakers for my husband at Buy One Get One Half Off and an additional 20% off on top of that. Both pairs of shoes were already slightly reduced in price before these two promotions. My husband's shoes ended up being only $43.99 and my son's Skechers were ultimately only $14.00!

Another reason why I like Famous Footwear is that they offer flat rate standard shipping for $4.50 for the first two pairs of shoes and free shipping on three or more pairs of shoes. Now I just need them to expand their selection of handbags . . .

No compensation, gifts, or products were received for sharing this shopping experience with my readers.
