Spending time at the mall on a Saturday is like being trapped inside a Piñata at a future diabetic childs birthday party. You always think you have developed the skill sets over your life to efficiently navigate through the crowds of families set free after a week of office confinement, but when you are actually faced with this reality all goes out the window. Ive never wanted to yell "move!" at hockey mom's and hollow faced teens so much in my life.
I was on a mission to find cotton-free clothing which would be at least partially adequate for my new job at a local restaurant. Escaping cotton is not as easy as one could imagine, and I eventually warmed to the concept of "cotton-blends." How much cotton is too much? I found myself pondering. Would I be sent home wearing a strong cotton blend? Like 80%? After refusing to spend $75 on a single article of "mixed material" clothing I settled for a half and half blend. Pray for me.
I know that wearing uggs is considered cool, and though I have never actually worn a pair, they do look exceptionally practical. Today I saw a woman trapsing around in her pair, however these were the dirtiest, most disturbing pair I had ever seen.. ever. I could see the actual heel of her foot as the back of these distressed boots were torn to shreds. The boots were completly stressed and warped so it appeared as if she was wearing crumpled rags around her feet, bound by a sweat and mud paste. Now I would never consider myself to know much about fashion and "the trends," but I felt as though the ill condition of her boots cancelled out the "cool factor." Can uggs deteriorate to this condition and still be considered fashionable? Ive never been so tempted to untie my sturdy sorrels and donate them to the cause.
I was exhausted, not only was I on a treasure hunt to find the ideal blend of fabrics to create enough confusion to throw my employers off the scent of cotton, but now I was mentally conflicted as to whether I could afford to buy a new pair of shoes after giving to a footwear charity case. It took every ounce of effort to not apply for a job a Cinnzeo, so my aspirations of having unlimited access to cinnabuns could be fulfilled.

Uggs are always cool, even if you just tie a scrap to a piece of string around your neck and just rock it.
ReplyDeleteI'm still skeptical about Uggs, at first I was one of those.."god those are ugly" people but as i've slowly evolved to liking them a bit and almost bought myself a pair. One of the main reasons was the increasingly better styles and colors that i've seen throughout the season, i have to say the right red really makes them quite tempting. However, let's not get ahead of ourselves the tan color that was oh so popular so many years or year ago is not cool. It brings back the awful memory of a similar winter jacket with fur and sheep skin hanging all over the place flashback 6 years ago, winter fashion 2000ish. Moral of this scattered story is: if your skin is lighter than the "tan" ugg color... you owe a token to humanity
ReplyDeleteuggs are not cool, trust me. They were popular like 4 years ago and people cannot just let it go.It was a dumb ugly trend.. try dressing nicely.
ReplyDeleteuggs are horrible. they are ugg-ly, and seriously impractical, unless you live somewhere that is freezing and gets no precipitation. okay, well calgary is close enough. seriously, you get them wet and they are like fucking leather sponges, which BECAUSE THEY ARE suede like, stain from pretty much anything, like soda water. and ALSO, has anyone ever noticed the way people walk in them, so off centre, that only the side of the sole wears down, and then they are walking on the side of the boot, instead of the actual sole!
ReplyDeletethat lady with the fuggs, er uh, uggs that had the seriously distressed look, had probably worn them for a season.
In short, uggs= fuggs, and they suck.
