I saw this picture at the train station, an ad for Ugg Australia, and I thought, oh honey no.
As you can see, the model in the very nicely taken photo (please excuse my version of it, I was a bit crooked when I took the picture with my phone) was wearing a nice crisp shirt, smart dark vest and pants, and a rather nice jacket. I also love the red tie, though she is way too skinny. I thought she looked very stylish until my eye dropped and I caught sight of the crocheted Uggs, just like the ones at the Ugg Australia website. Pity they look like the slippers my Grandma used to knit. I am really appalled.
Oh yeah, and why is it when you go to the Ugg Australia site, it doesn’t have Australia as one of the default locations? It would seem pretty simple wouldn’t it?
Oh, and also, the Slipper category should contain a larger proportion of their shoes, namely the ones that are furry and that don’t have a proper sole. I'm just sayin'.
I’ll say it again. Ugg boots are for wearing inside your house on cold days, in the back yard to hang up the washing on a cold morning, and occasionally, when it’s very early in the morning and no one can see you, to collect the paper from the front yard. AND THAT’S IT.
So, tell me, would you wear knitted Ugg boots down the street, with a tie? Really, would you?

Hey SKM and MissRedLips, thanks for visiting. I'm gald women of such obvious taste agree with me

So true - those ugg boots break that great ensemble.
5ft0, I know! It's such a great look otherwise.
You guys really need to invest in a pair of uggs, when i first saw them i hated them, but once you tried them on its a whole different matter. Plus their so casual, some might say to casual as they look like slippers but come on each to their own!!!
Hey Danielle, thanks for dropping by! I don't have a problem with Uggs inside the house or the back yard; it's when they leave the front door that I object ^_^
Really??? have you actually wore a pair honestly i really hated them at one point and now there my favourite shoe, as hard as it seems to believe ha. I think age and fashion sense does make a difference though!!
Danielle, I don't have a problem with OTHER people wearing them around the home ^_^, just not outside, and especially not with a business suit (as I saw one woman doing once).
