beauty (above) and the beast (below)
You don't look cute.
Trust me when I say this. Think of me as your close friend. That friend who tells you when you still have zit cream on your face during your 9am class. That friend in your office who tells you when you still have toothpaste on your blouse... you know, someone looking out for your best interests. I'm telling you point blank: take your Uggs off. Especially the ones from last year, you know, the dirty slouchy pair you spent $88 on? See that gorgeous model above ? You just don't look like her. In fact, see that horrifying image above right? Yeah. That's you. I'm sorry. I really don't mean to be mean about it. It's just your friends, you know your "so called friends" are too busy wearing their Uggs with tattered mini-skirts in 60-degree weather to tell you how unfortunate you look in yours.
I know, I know... Paris Hilton wears them... and so does Sienna Miller, and she got Jude Law, sort of... But the thing is they're famous. They can wear whatever they want and still be famous. In fact, no matter how horrible it looks, people will like what they wear because they're beautiful rich and famous.... case in point? You. In your Uggs.
I'm not a hater. I firmly believe there is a time and place for everything. 70-degree weather? Got the legs? Wear your skirts as short as you like... I know I do. 30-degree weather with a frost on your car? Break our your goose-down and shlup on your Uggs. Fine. But now? It just isn't working. As one of my gorgeous male friends told me the other day, "they look like elephant-feet." See the image above left? You get the point.
I promise this will be my last rant about Uggs. The boots are fine. Buy them if you want. They're on sale for $68 at Marshalls in Boston. But please, for your own sake, know when to wear them, and when not to*.
