Ugg-ly Weather

For several years I refused to give into the fashion for Ugg and Ugg type boots. I always thought of them as ugly and I never understood why anyone would choose to wear them over other types of footwear. I also never understood why you would spent over £100 quid on a pair of ugly shoes when you could get some really gorgeous ones instead. However I have caved and bought a pair, not Uggs but a pair of rip-off ones. I still refuse to pay that much money for ugly shoes. I bought them for one reason and one reason only, my feet were freezing. I have a weakness for sandals, big chunky ones with straps but not much else. These do not keep my feet warm and are all but useless when it's minus 2 outside. So I gave in and bought a pair of fuzzy warm boots with the intention of wearing them on the coldest days and under trousers. They are unflattering, not very nice to look at and they fell clumpy to wear but my god are they warm. My toes are toasty when I wear them. I do feel like a bit of a sell-out for buying them and I will not be wearing them unless I absolutely have to. As soon as it starts to thaw a bit outside (which doesn't look like it's happening any time soon) I will be returning to other shoes, prettier shoes. I will certainly not be doing what a lot of girls seem to do and keep wearing them all year round. I don't think my feet would ever forgive me.
