Ugg Boots — Page 2

"Every color, every style on everyone. Some even carry the bags now too."

How could I forget the Ugg bags!?! Is there really a need.. for a furry purse? They are popping up everywhere too, where I'm from. It was, I admit, a little scary when my mom handed me the Ugg catalog and said "Look, they have purses now too!"

My school is obsessed with Uggs, fake or real. I have fake ones because they're pratical and keep me warm. I also have an Ugg poncho. One girl in my grade has the short adn tall ones in every color. It scares me.

I know what you mean. I thought Uggs were over a year ago when everyone and their mother was wearing them around here. Then I saw all the new colors and the knock-off versions and knew that the trend had officially been killed. And yet people are still buying them...

Last week, my sister bought a pair of real Uggs at a flea market for $3. She bought them knowing that the trend was on its way out, but wanted to brag to all the people at her school that she had spent $3 on the shoes they paid $110 for.

I have the knock off pair also. I was going to get those big fluffy ones but i cant find them in any of the stores.

Does anyone remember "Moon Boots" - I hate to admit I had a pair in the late 70's!!

Uggs are funny!

I think the trend started on the West Coast, because of all the surfers who wanted to keep their feet warm afterwards (back me up? Sounds random, but that's what I heard).

Anywho, before they became actual cold weather boots, my entire Jewish-Jappy-Private-High School had them. It was mandatory for admission, I swear. And the only way to wear them was with a skirt short enough to be a tube top.

I got them when I played water polo, because otherwise my feet would freeze. I found when I got to NYC, they didn't work so well in the snow, because they have no traction on the bottom.

Back to the topic...I think Uggs technically are "out of style", but very occasionally, function becomes more important than fashion. Very rarely.

My school is so quick to pick up on the worst trends. Last year it was the von dutch trucker hats, and this year....uggs. Uggly.
They're fine if you wear them UNDER your pants for warmth. But I can't stand the pants-tucked-in look, or worse, uggs with skirts.

I go to a Jewish private school adn we have to wear skirts at least down to our knees. The Uggs looks terrible then. And I have short legs and my jeans are always long so I wear them tucked in to my Uggs.

Irish Girl, I feel your pain! I walked around my high school (not in a mini skirt -- I didn't want to scare people!) in Birkenstocks. That's Californian. The Uggs? Those are Antarctic.

It was so funny watching all the girls in the identical skirt and identical uggs. Not to mention their identical noses, blonde hair with highlights, and identical jewelry.

Clones, all of them. Where is the machine that makes these people?

everytime i walk into nordstroms(or any other store that sells them) i ask for a pair and they never have my size in the color i like. i have been searching since late june lol

---

I resent that! I would love a pair of neon green shoes. I have no clue what I'd wear them with, but as simple flats, paired with a black outfit? C'mon, you must see the potential!

---

I own 4 pairs and have been wearing then LONG before the became popular! I too agree that they look silly with mini skirts but otherwise they are AMAZING shoes and I rarely wear anything else :)
