a confession

as i was getting dressed this morning, it occurred to me that i had a confession to make. after my post yesterday bashing pajama jeans & those who might wear them, i realized that i am guilty of a similar crime. in all fairness, though, i would characterize my crime as a misdemeanor, while pajama jeans are definitely a felony. my misdemeanor is my joyous, blissful wearing of my ugg boots at every opportunity.

i feel so lucky that i can get away with wearing my uggs to work. i annually await the approach of the cooler weather in happy anticipation of the first day the temperature permits the wearing of uggs. uggs are so named because they are ....... UGH!  everyone i know is either neutral or hates them until they try them on. my girlfriend susan was like "meh" until she tried mine on- less than five minutes later we were on the computer ordering her a pair. for those who aren't in the know, uggs are footwear that were developed in australia by surfers who wanted something warm & dry for their feet when they emerged from surfing. they created a boot that is shearling lined with authentic australian sheepskin. the reason i think uggs are a misdemeanor akin to pajama jeans is because wearing them feels like wearing your bedroom slippers. i'm not sure there is a more comfortable outdoor footwear in existence. uggs are made to be worn barefoot & they are soooooo comfortable. of course, when i wear mine, everyone is "i had no idea you were so short" & stuff...  yeah, i am. but, i digress. i thought i should 'fess up since i was so hard on pajama jeans- although they certainly deserved it- there is no doubt they are a fashion felony worthy of mandatory sentencing.  the sentence should be something like one month with tim gunn or heidi klum or something like that. although, heidi was one of the jeggings examples- i'll have to think about that. i wonder if she checked with tim before she wore those?  uggs-  a fashion misdemeanor at worst & maybe not even that. maybe a traffic court kind of thing or a parking ticket? if at all?

here is my ugg collection (they are THAT comfortable).....
