UGGS

Typically, what do we think of when we think of UGGs? I would agree that this photo to my right is a strong read of what UGGs signify to us young adults and arguably other age groups as well. UGGs are typically indentified with white preppy girls with skinny jeans. Throw in the huge purse. a tiny dog and a pair of UGGs and that's what I see (huge purse and tiny dog not required). The culture of UGGs seems to come from middle to high class white girls who are too cool for school and hide their hung over faces with giant sunglasses on the way to class. UGGs first appeared in High School when all the popular kids started wearing them, and eventually the fad spread around the whole country and young white girls were wearing them on the daily. I, myself, wear UGGS, which is pretty contradictory, but that just may be because I am a young white girl trying to fit in with the rest of the population. UGGs are typically Urban and they do get dirty very easily so you have to watch where you're stepping or your suede WILL get dirty (which defeats the purpose of boots). The consumption of UGGs typically takes place at high end department stores such as Nordstrom, Macys and Bloomingdales. This supports the fact that usually middle to high class girls wear them because they aren't cheap. The taller they are, they more expensive they become. I got mine for around $200.00 which was astounding for a pair of boots that get wet and dirty easily. I am just generalizing here so if you have some more comments about UGGs, feel free to share because I would love to hear from you :)

Lastly, I found an interesting UGG-hating blog and found it somewhat humorous. Read if you like, and please don't be offended I just came across it on google.
