Ugg Off!

Ugg boots.

In the infamous words of the infamous red-head: "Please Explain?"


As a fashion savvy friend commented on Suburban Fashionista:

"Ugg boots are sleepwear not footwear! It drives me crazy... I wonder if they wear them around home like slippers even after they've worn them out and about?"

And I agree. I have ugg boots but the only time they leave my house is if they're going to visit someone else's house... Not the supermarket, cafe or worse, nightclub.

I think the rise of celebrity-stalking paparazzi-photos has contributed to the terrifying acceptance of ugg boots as out boots.

When Pammy pops out with the kids (and her two children), to get the groceries, there's a photographer ready to snap her in her daggiest.

Trashbag Weekly is always ready for a photo like that.

Reality TV can also shoulder some of the blame.

Poor, sponge-brained, 15-year-old girls unfortunately take their fashion cues from Big Brother celetoids and blonde-haired gaol-birds.

The old ugg boots, mini-skirt and midriff combination should be illegal.

The comfort factor is the main drawcard for the Ugg-faithful.

A musician friend insists on wearing moccasins clubbing.

He has not yet been refused entry for his questionable footwear but is prepared to risk that chance - the comfort is just too good.
