I have an interesting relationship with Ugg boots. In 2003 when Uggs made their wild comeback, I stood in line and purchased a pair. At the time, I am not even sure I actually liked them, but they were hot and I wanted to make people jealous. I ended up wearing them everyday that winter: with dresses, with pants, out in the snow, inside watching a movie … I wore them 24/7. Once the winter ended so did my Ugg boots, I placed them back in their box and shelved them.Living in LA has stirred the Ugg beast. I wanted to pull them out but I couldn’t — I couldn’t be one of “them” could I? Today I was struck by the beast. I pulled out my dusty Ugg box and place my foot inside the sheepskin boots. Oh Uggs, how I missed you and your comfort.
One problem, they were way too big on me. Which got me to thinking … I need a new pair of Uggs. So as a change of Ugg pace I want to go with the crochet version. They will serve the same purpose as regular pair of Uggs … they won’t necessarily match anything and they will be comfortable.
What do you all think, love them or leave them at the store where they belong?
