"With fall break behind us, we must all now come to terms with the fact that it is no longer summer. Not even in Dallas. While it’s not exactly sleeting or snowing yet, it is certainly not bathing suit uggs sale weather anymore. This explains the recent sightings of the well-known and highly infamous Ugg boots. While most of the guys are probably groaning at the mere mention of these “ridiculous” boots, others are sitting in class waiting to see if they become another fashion faux pas. Don’t worry. I really like them. In fact, I have a pair of tall cognac-colored Uggs in my closet. However, like many fashion trends, it is all up to circumstance in which the Uggs must be worn. SMU women, I am giving you full permission to wear these Nanook-of-the-North sheepy ski boots. But only beca use it is officially after fall break, and ugg button boots the weather has been compliable. Since I am obviously biased on this situation <considering I own a pair>, I decided to ask around, gathering opinions of whether these were totally Ugg-ly or somewhat acceptable.
“I thought they were cool before they were ‘cool,’” said Katie Littlefield, a junior advertising major. “But now,” she said, “they’re too much of a fad. My mom’s had them since the ‘90s.” “I think uggs sale they’re ugly. They look like Eskimo boots!” said Adam Robertson, a senior marketing major. Most guys agreed with Robertson, not understanding what the hoopla is all about. “They’re about as cool as the WNBA,” said Ross Spencer, a senior finance major. “They suck pretty bad.” The impracticality of the heavy boots, especially in Dallas, is way over most guys’ heads. “It’s pretty bleeping ridiculous when girls wear them in the summer,” said Chris Faulkner, a senior business major. It’s apparent that the real problem and misunderstanding between fashion and “bleeping ridic ulous” occurs when the thermometer hits above 90 degrees, and girls are pairing the boots with mini skirts. Ugg Australia was Bailey Button boots started over 30 years ago in response to a demand from surfers down under. The surfers originally tied sheepskin to their legs after getting out of the water, initially calling them “ugly boots” and shortening the fabricated product to Ugg. Sheepskin naturally warms and adjusts to the wearer’s body, creating instantaneous comfort.
Needless to say, Ugg has made its mark on celebrities and Mustangsalike. It is still the difference of opinion and style that is to be determined. “I have them, and I love them,” said Meredith McGrath, senior uggs sociology major. “They’re so comfortable, and so warm. You can easily make an outfit more interesting, or even more casual. It’s like walking on air.” I will be totally biased here and fully agree with McGrath. I ordered my pair from Victoria’s Secret magazine <yes, they’re legit> in June, and they were on backorder until the middle of August. Because it has been so hot here, I refused to wear them yet. Don’t be afraid to wear your Ugg boots, but only if you don’t mind some raised eyebrows from both boys and girls. And take good care of them, because although they have the potential to last decades, you shouldn’t wear bailey button uggs them in po uring rain. If you’re going to wear them in the snow, make sure it’s only virgin. <That means that there is no salt in the snow, which is used to protect cars from slipping o n the roads, for all you Southerners.
