    Well, seeing we've all gone into confessional mode, I'm going to own up to wearing Crocs quite a lot of the time. I did say comfort was my number one priority!

    Ditto, I have numerous cardigans, in every colour imaginable, including beige :D

    Me too.

    I have 2 ankle length Planet cardigans - black and dusky pink - that I wear in Spring/Autumn when it's too warm for big coats.

    I also have lots of the fine knit cardis that are just above waist level that look good with maxi dresses (at least I think they look good :D).
    Another big fan of docs here! Infact, in winter I wear almost nothing but boots....I have quite a collection! I still have my battered old docs from years back, and I won't be parted from my Ugg boots....*waits for gasps!*

    No gasps from me.

    I'm a big fan of Uggs too, although I like the ones that have more support like the Kensington style.

    My favourites are Caspia, which are just above the ankle, really comfy.

    I don't have the standard crocs (like these) as they don't stay on my feet but I do have some crocs trainers- very comfy and lightweight.

    I just don't get Uggs, cannot see the attraction to them at all.....they look like slipper boots to me. That said, as someone else pointed out, what a dull world if we all liked the same things........

    One word....Comfort!! I happen to think they look ok too.

    I wore them into work once (usually had a uniform but we all went in to clean and sort the shop out when it closed), and my boss said "oh look, she's come in her slippers....I've got a pair like that". All I could imagine then was my six foot odd, built like a brick !!!! house, covered in tattoos boss in furry slippers! :rotfl:

    If you're skinny they look great with jeggings or skinny jeans.
    They should never be sold to anyone greater than a size 12!

    They're not ugly, they just don't stay on my feet! ;)

    You wear evening dresses to feed the chickens??? I find that quite delightfully eccentric if so.

    Yes, they don't really mind if I am not appropriately attired. The horses mock me a little though. The cows, when I do them are down right offensive about it and its simply not practical, so I wear fleece pjs when I do the cows. They wash well and layer well. Washing well is vital with cow clothes.

    It's not so much the look (though I am not that keen on that either), it's more the thought of how my feet would react to being in (fluffy) boots all the time. I am not greater than a 12 for the record ;).

    I have a pair of crocs, they are for the garden ONLY.
    They are great for wearing on the patio or watering hanging baskets.
