My Splurge: UGG® Australia Dakota Moccasins

Happy Tuesday!

I know I always complain about the weather, but this time it's actually connected to today's post, haha! ;)

On Monday, it was freezing... today it was just right... tomorrow it's gonna be hot -- sometimes I don't know which shoes to wear, do I go for boots or ballet flats or sandals? Frustrating, right?! Now, this is where my moccasins come in the picture...

If you've been reading my blog posts for a while now, you probably remember how much I love bargains... but a few months ago, I finally caved and spent $100 on these babies:

I was debating whether I should just spend my hundred bucks on clothes or on these shoes... and obviously, this choice won, haha! ;)

UGG® Australia Women's Dakota Moccasins

So beautiful! I'm in love! ;)

Color-saturated suedes with leather-lace detailing, the Dakota is moccasin-inspired style meets the iconic comfort of UGG® slippers. A soothing sheepskin lining lends breathable warmth without heat, while a molded-rubber outsole delivers whisperweight durability for indoor/outdoor, all-day wear.

These shoes are quite possibly the most luxurious ones I own -- it's so well-made, I was so impressed!

I got them in size 6 -- they were tight at first, but it expands to mold into the shape of your feet.

I was on the verge of exchanging them for a size 7 because they were tight, but I read that if you get it a size bigger, it's gonna end up too loose since it expands anyway -- thank goodness I read that review because otherwise I would now have loose moccasins, haha!

So yup, just wanted to share that little tidbit with you guys. :)

The inside is lined with genuine sheepskin -- so soft and so luxurious!

Their sheepskin sock liner is breathable and it naturally wicks away moisture, keeping feet dry.

I love how it keeps my feet warm, while still keeping it dry -- that's why it's the perfect pair of shoes for in between weather! :)

The stitching is really excellent, as you can see above.

They also feature a leather lace and bow detail.

The UGG® logo is embossed using lateral heat -- I love how it's subtly there.

It also has a molded gum rubber bottom... not exactly sure what that means (haha!), but I am amazed at this sole -- they never seem to get dirty! The toe area has some scuffs, but the sole is still clean! I don't know if it means there's not much dirt where I walk or if it's really meant to be like that, but I am just amazed, haha! ;)

Color: Chestnut

One last thing I love about these moccasins: they pretty much go with anything!

Above is a snap of me wearing them with black leggings. :)

At $100, it may be pricey, but they're UGG®s and they are so worth it!

I actually want to get another pair in black and maybe pewter -- there are 9 colors to choose from! ;)

What do you guys think? 

Do you own a pair of UGG® moccasins or boots?

I hope you are all having a lovely week!
