blogsphemy

I think liking a so many different styles has caused me to become a bit more open-minded. After all, who am I to say that a certain item of clothing is weird when I like the look of petticoats, sequins, crazy layers, shaved heads, black lipstick, massive boots, capes, etc?

But there are a select few items that once believed I'd always loathe - the main one being Uggs. And now Dropsnap and Kera Street Snap are causing me to reconsider one of the most hated items in the blogosphere.

Because really, once you take away the obnoxious, velour-sweatsuit-wearing connations, all that Uggs really are are a pair of fuzzy boots that according to other people (honestly, I have never worn a pair) are extremely warm and comfortable. And what's so horrible about that?

I don't think I'll be buying my own pair anytime soon though. I may be a hypocrite but I'm also quite cheap.

i like colored uggs better than the brown ones. sometimes they look like walking casts though.

i think uggs are fine, in theory. if shoes can be that comfy and warm, then they're a winner.

BUT. what i really really hate is that when i walk through the hallways at school, at least 70% of the girls are wearing uggs, and that just pisses me off.

So I choose to hate them.

Uggs do make your feet look like gingerbread men feet, but they really are warm/soft. I have a pair, and I wear them around when I feel sick or lazy or just don't want to bother!

wow, thanks for the links =D I spy the tokyobopper girl on the dropsnap one !

yoncto said...

those japanese girls make them look amazing! and they are REALLY comfortable. but you have to have some seeeriously crazy good style like those girls (and you) in order to pull that shit off, because otherwise uggs are, well, UGH. ;D

I still hate Uggs. I wrote a blog about it too, haha
These pictures make me sorta reconsider though..

Meh, I love my Uggs. I don't really care if a ton of other people have them, and I don't care if most "fashionistas" look down on me for wearing them. It's cold where I live and they're so damn comfortable and warm, fuck it. Besides, in all honesty, what other ATTRACTIVE boots are there that are as comfy/warm? None.. it seems that people who rebel against Uggs end up getting rainboot/snowboot monstrosities that, while they may be "ironic" are just as UGGly. So I'll stick with mine :)

still loathe them

Uggs are major major comfy & some people CAN pull them off. However, most people wear them while decked out in Hollister, which doesn't make them look so wonderful. Also, they can look quite hideous & club-like.

MEAGHAN!? said...

comfortable, yes.
but how much better would those photos be with different boots?
i will never change my mind about those, hah.

say nooo to uggs

Gerry said...

I don't think anything could be considered ugly the moment a pair of bright orange crocs made Paris Vogue.

Cas Ruffin said...

Are those Uggs? They look like better looking Ugg knockoffs. Uggs are rounder at the toe, no? I always thought that were its ugliness came from.

WendyB said...

I love the first outfit -- she's a cutie.

The Stylish Wanderer said...

THEY ARE SO comfortable

karl's sweet child said...

i want UGGS!! or maybe its because i live in a tropic country where people could weirdly stared at you when you wear uggs.. you know, sometime you always wants what you cannot have!

ETL said...

It's all good-- I've never bought a pair of Uggs, either. I don't think I can; they become the general uniform for everyone during winter at my school.
Not gonna lie, they are pretty toasty =]

Donkey said...

Go UGG! :-)

I love the comfort.

Isabel said...

Ugggs, noo! I actually don't mind the grey crochet ones, though. And I have no qualms if people wear them around the house because they're comfy (I wear some pretty heinous ensembles when not in public), but I generally can't stand the way they look.

P.S. -Anyone remember when leggings were the most hated objects on the blogosphere? Now nobody gives a shit. Times they are a-changing.

How about these little cuties from Topshop?

http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=32051&storeId=13052&categoryId=133462&parent_category_rn=133457&productId=849043&langId=-1

All the comfort and 'style' of Uggs with none of the stigma

"Are those Uggs?"
"Uggs? Perish the thought. These are from Topshop, dahling"

the Launderette said...

there's also that connundrum that japanese girls can pull of ANYTHING!

rachel said...

they are toasty, though i only wear them around the house- most expensive pair of slippers i'll ever have, but they are gorgeously warm :)

sarah violette said...

I have a pair of uggs, and I really like them. I mean, I don't wear them with hollister and abercrombie and shit, but like "Anonymous" said, where I live it's fucking COLD. They are a salvation for extremley cold feet, and if worn the right way, (like these amazing Japanese girls) then they can look fine!
