I read this article on the net awhile ago, and thought I would share it with you all, especially if you love Ugg Boots.....
Once upon a time, ugg boots were daggy. This was back in the seventies when your parents had long hair and wore bell-bottoms and looked like little, gay, designer sailors on acid. Hippies themselves didn't usually wear ugg boots, due to them being made of dead sheep, but surfers did, and if surfers did, surfer chicks did. This was OK. Surfers were daggy but cool and all the girls wanted to sleep with them like crazy, so for surfers and their surfer moles, ugg boots were the perfect shoe. Going down to the fish & chip shop in your panel van to buy a chicko roll and chocolate Moove, you and your chick wearing ugg boots was totally cool.
Today, people think they're cool with everything. They see ugg boots as fashion's answer to sliced bread and they completely don't know what to do with them.You walk down the street and there are five kagillion examples of what not to do. You see girls wearing uggs with mini skirts, like, 'my feet are freezing but my ass is burning up'. Guys seriously wear them with tracksuits trying to look ironic or whatever, but they just look poor. You can even see ugg boots in clubs - the very fucking epitome of no idea. Seriously, where do these people learn to get dressed? Since when do you wear slippers in a drinking establishment? There'll be plenty of time in your old age to have your evening scotch in sad, old grandpa shoes, particularly when you're confined to a wheelchair, so it's a shame to let your able-footed years go to waste in the footwear equivalent of pyjamas.
So you don't know where to wear your uggs now? Are you looking at them with disappointment and anger? The answer is simple: homes, hospitals (not as a visitor) and long trips in motor vehicles and on planes (not boats). Ugg boots should be like a security blanket for adulthood - you know, that blanky or stuffed animal you used to drive your mum nuts with as a kid. You weren't allowed to take it to special things or out shopping as you'd lose it or get food on it. It was only allowed to be there if you really, really, needed the emotional support. So see: wearing your uggs everywhere is like dragging that gross, one-eyed teddy everywhere. It might make you feel better, but you just look like a weird little kid and no one will want to play with you
