Me-Made June; Day 12
Love ma uggies. I could say that slipping on my ugg boots is like slipping a pair of comfy old slippers… except that’s exactly what they are. So, of course it is, hehe.
So, in the interests of reality in footwear; these rip-toed, beaten-up old uggs really are what my feet wearing for, like, 95% of my day, with the tiny exception of walking the dog, which we are doing right here, and for which I actually had on little sandshoes. That’s the reality. But, to get “reality” I toted my ugg boots along to the park to change into just for this photo. Ha! Oh the irony…
Because the other reality is that I never ever wear these out in public. Well, really, just look at them. One has a big hole in the toe, which has been mended and re-ripped. Mum would be horrified just looking at this photo… But I can’t ever get rid of them. I suffer from this hopelessly sentimental attachment to them. But maybe I should patch up that hole again… give the old dears a bit more dignity?

Socks; barely just seen through the rip in the toe there, but still handknit by me, details here
Uggs; had forever
A lot of girls here wear versions of uggs that started invading the US a couple years ago, but they're all so ugly as outdoor shoes (they even wear them in the snow!). Yours actually look very different from the ones here that I see.
If you have time could you make me a jacket like this? looks fantastic with the print material poking out the bottom ever tried rocking the muti-season look with this jumper i reckon it might work?
