I'm not a big fan of Uggs, never have been, but I can't say I never will be. As the years have passed and Uggs still remain a staple of many women and girls, I have started to slowly see the appeal.
There's still no appeal in the boot itself, I still think they're ugly and make your feet look fat and cartoon-like. But I do see the appeal in the lining and making your feet nice and toasty especially during these harsh New England winters.
I guess my disdain for the suede boot started when I first saw Pam Anderson wearing them in her Baywatch bathing suit being interviewed on Entertainment Tonight. What a joke- the ocean backdrop and the tight orange bathing suit, and then essentially, mittens on her feet. I thought it looked ridiculous and it started to bother me even more when I saw regular girls on the street making the same statement. Not in a bathing suit, but in 85 degree weather in July wearing cut off shorts and Uggs. Really?! In New England?! What's wrong with some people???!!! Everything!
I started to hate them right then and there and vowed never to buy a pair. It's 2010 and I still, very proudly, do not own a pair of Uggs. (Insert smiley face and pat on the back).
BUT- I recently visited one of my best friends in Brooklyn and she had the most adorable pair of.... Moccasins!! Lined with fur, like Uggs, and suede, I adored them! A slip-on shoe for the winter that will keep your foot warm and you look cute wearing it too. I'm sold! So of course, I have had to buy a pair, and I haven't received them yet, but I know I'm going to totally LOVE them. And I couldn't have ordered them at a better time. It's COLD up here in Boston, and mama needs a pair of winter shoes that are not my winter boots, which are quite cute, but really can only be worn when there's actual snow outside. Otherwise, I just look silly and like I didn't check the weather for the day, (which I hate).
So, I'm really looking forward to getting a special package in the mail on the 16th and keeping my feet toasty, comfy, and cute.
