Hello, friends, Happy Monday! I hope you all had a lovely weekend. I worked this weekend, but Sunday I was able to spend some time after work with Derek’s family and later went for a walk in the park with my mom and our doggies. The weather has been absolutely beautiful here lately, and everyone is taking full advantage of it, myself included!
The details: charcoal gray T-shirt dress (H&M) // aztec pattern leggings (swap meet in Vegas) // neon green jacket (New Balance via Burlington Coat Factory) // hot pink Nike Free Flyknit tennis shoes (Nike Factory Store) // hot pink headband (Target)
I am in love with these super soft, fun leggings and I cannot believe I got two pairs for only $15! I am also so completely stoked over my newest pair of tennis shoes!! I found these amazing, barefoot shoes at the Nike Factory Store in Las Vegas. These shoes retail for $130, but I got them on sale for only $60, which probably still sounds expensive, but they are definitely worth it.
What items in your closet are you willing to spend a little extra for extra quality??
As always, thanks for reading! – Kristi :)
PS. A special thanks to my mom for acting as photographer and taking these photos, you’re the best!! :)

March 24, 2014 at 3:21 pmI think 60 Dollars for Nike shoes is okay.
March 24, 2014 at 2:01 pmIt’s certainly reasonable for Nikes, it’s more than I like to spend on clothes or shoes, but for really quality running shoes like these, I think it’s worth the extra. :)
March 24, 2014 at 2:27 pmYes, I think the same. For shoes, it should be good quality, because you have feel comfortable in them. I hate shoes which are expensive, but not comfortable at all. Had many like those. That’s probably why I hate buying shoes :’D But when it comes to the rest of clothes shopping, I also try to spend as little money as possible :)
March 24, 2014 at 2:40 pmYou are so adorable!!!!! Those leggings are fabulous!
March 24, 2014 at 2:26 pmAww shucks, thanks! ;)
March 24, 2014 at 2:27 pmYou totally rock those leggings! I’ve been afraid to get in with that trend. What a fun day at the park and the weather looked so nice. Your dogs are so cute and it’s super impressive that you can juggle all 4 of them. :)
March 24, 2014 at 9:27 pmThank you!! I was definitely hesitant if the crazy legging trend at first, too, but they’re just too fun and comfy not to wear! It was a great walk in the park, but believe me, as soon as we finished the pictures, my mom took two dogs and I took two haha! ;)
March 25, 2014 at 6:59 amI definitely think shoes and coats are worth the investment, as well as classic handbags. :)

Yes, shoes are definitely something I’m willing to spend more on for a quality pair that I know will last. But I do still love my cheap, trendy sandals and sneaks, too! ;)
March 25, 2014 at 9:40 pmLooks like a fun walk! Cute doggies!!

Thank you!! :)
March 26, 2014 at 7:07 amYou are so freakin cute! I’m jealous of your nice weather, it literally snowed here on Tuesday! As for spending more on some things, I think jeans.. I’ve definitely learned that spending a little extra gets better quality, a better fit, and jeans that last longer!

Thank you! We are definitely blessed with amazing weather here!!
March 27, 2014 at 10:30 amJeans are a great item to spend on and usually worth it. Although, for me personally, I tend to “love and leave” my jeans – I will wear a pair obsessively one week and then suddenly fall in love with a different pair the next week, so I am always rotating denim. Plus, I’m tough on my jeans; very few pairs have lasted me very long, whether they were quality or not haha! :)
