On the Hunt for Uggs


So, I know I'm a little late hopping on the Uggs bandwagon (about 7 years late), but I recently decided that I would like a pair of the fuzzy boots from Down Under.

This is proving to be somewhat difficult since it's the middle of winter, post-Christmas and Uggs are sold out all over the place.

I have secretly wanted a pair for a few years, but didn't admit it since I thought Uggs were just some fad. My initial reaction was that Uggs were ugly and wouldn't be around for long. I remember seeing them on campus and thought they were ridiculous and overpriced. I refused to participate in an expensive, over-hyped fashion trend.

Well, I was wrong.

Fast-forward a few years later and Uggs are still around. They're super comfortable and actually practical in a cold, wintry city like Boston. Sure, they make your feet look huge and give you cankles, but I don't care. I've admitted that I want a pair and the Birthday Fairy said I can get some for my b'day (a few months early).

Now I just have to find them. But I've only just begun my search and I'll find that pair of Uggs with my name on them.
