I own a pair of UGGs.
I promised myself when they first came out, that I’d never wear those ugly boots.
Never. Ever.
No matter how warm and comfortable they may be.
But then I caved.
I saw girls running around, looking unusually perky and happy.
They all seemed to be thrilled to have WARM FEET (mine get unusually cold, you see).
So I bought a pair.
I was thrilled with how comfortable they were.
How soft, how……. erg, they’re ugly and have no place paired with otherwise chic outfits!!!
I wore them out ONCE with sweatpants to check the appeal of looking like a college slob, and felt too comfortable, if that made any sense.
I didn’t feel like I should be in public wearing those things on my feet, in baggy soft sweatpants.
I mean really, to feel like an actual fashion citizen, I shouldn’t have Teletubby feet.
So I never wore them out in public again.
When winter came around, I popped them on inside the house, and am in love with them now.
They keep my feet super warm without socks (socks make me slip).
And they are COMFY in the privacy of my apartment.
Then I found out that it is exactly where and how you’re supposed to wear them!
At home and inside.
They’re just not suited for wet, icy, cold, snowy weather.
So please, if you own UGGs.
Consider that they should never be seen in public unless it’s a rare, experimental occasion.
Style on a String is a blog about style, not fashion.
And style has nothing to do with money.
Being chic on a budget is possible when you know what works for you, and only take inspiration from trends if they'll work for you.
