Why sacrilege?

I think a lot of dedicated fashion followers see Ugg boots as mass produced, unoriginal and possibly even ugly! It doesn't help that they've been reproduced by every cheap shop going and worn by chavs with tracksuit bottoms. They're seen by high fashion houses as supremely unfashionable, hence the sacrilege.

However, I love mine! Everyone's entitled to their opinion when it comes to fashion - I think harem pants are hideous and I'd never wear a pair out of the house, but they're considered the height of fashion at the moment.

I love Uggs

(but also love harem pants )

I do have a secret longing for those dark grey knitted Uggs with the buttons on but I can't even bring myself to spend £30 on the knock off Dotty P version, let alone pay full price for the real deal!

Oh dear, today's outfit is a total mishmash. I am car-less at the moment as it's in the garage having all sorts of expensive stuff done to it (as if I'm not skint enough!). Having walked home from work yesterday (about 2.5 miles), I've come to the conclusion that I can't walk that far with normal shoes and bag - it makes my feet hurt and my shoulders end up all weird from carrying a huge handbag for so long. So today it's:

Trainers - Schuh
Mid blue jeans - Dotty Ps
Blue long line vest with yellow sprig flower print and broderie anglaise straps - George
Grey thin stripe boyfriend cardi - Next clearance
Blue and cream daisy studs - Accessorize
Cream scarf - no idea
Grey checked winter coat - Evans
Funky black and sparkly silver striped fingerless gloves/mittens - Dotty Ps (very cute but I'm not impressed with the quality, there are loose threads all over them and I've only worn them once!)

And a rucksack - oh how unglamorous! It's mostly grey with some blue touches so at least it matches a bit

I had the same issue with DP gloves, nightmare. Now I just buy a couple of cheap pairs in Primark or somewhere, or accessorize if I'm feeling flush

Off to the dentist shortly
and then a visit to my favourite local health food shop to stock up and have a chat with the owner about things (I'm so nosy about the goings on)

Wearing:
Black 3/4 sleeve cotton top: Matalan, couple of years ago?! I'm impressed it's not faded at all!
Black and blue leotard/skirt look dress with floral pattern (I'll post a pic on my blog today or tomorrow, I cant explain it well!): New Look
Bright blue tights: Boots
My faithful flat ankle boots: La Redoute

+ scarf and coat when I go out.

I love Accessorize stuff :smileyhea

I must say though, I've found Asda gloves to be pretty long lasting and decent quality. Must go and rummage there for some new ones.

They're seen by high fashion houses as supremely unfashionable, hence the sacrilege.

All the more reason to wear them then if you like them, why be dictated to by financially driven so called experts?, surly fashion is about self expression and feeling good for yourself, thats how I see it anyway;) I see Uggs as a modern classic, as you say supremely comfortable and imo they look good, however the rip off ones that collapse at the back I don't think are a good look, oh and I wear mine with tracksuit bottoms when the mood takes me:D

Todays outfit:-

Baggy ripped and faded jeans - Miss Sixty
Light blue angora tight fitting jumper with clear sequins - D&G Jeans
White vest top under jumper - Tesco
Flat white/cream/multi coloured boots - Ted Baker
Silver Metal belt - shop where I used to live

Beige paddington - Chloe

Have a great Thursday everyone:D

I posted yesterday but it seems to have vanished !

How is everyone today? It's quite mild down here in sunny Hampshire. I'm in work all day today. Unfortunately when I woke up this morning I was convinced it was Friday...... gutted! :rotfl:

I love Ugg boots, but I don't have any. I really can't justify the cost of a "proper" pair, although might run to a pair of copies. My sil bought some Uggs last winter and sent them back in favour of a pair from Tesco. She said they were much more comfy lol. My dd loves her fake Uggs, she's 3!

Today I've got on:

long black vest - M&S 2 for £5
fitted black v-neck - M&S no idea how much
grey straight skirt - Primark £13
wide stretchy belt with a big buckle - Primark £3
short sleeved fitted jacket - Primark sale £5
opaques
black mary janes - DP sale £15

Loving the belt - I haven't really done belts since the 80's!! Remember the slouchy, round your hips ones??
