I am well aware that Santa is making his list, checking it twice and all, so I truly hope he forgives me for the naughty gossip and reprimanding I am about to unload. It must be said: If I have to see one more girl walking around the style filled streets of New York wearing Uggs paired with fancy tights or fishnets, I am going to turn Carrie on them. No not the fabulous Carrie Bradshaw, the scary possessed Carrie who will send you to the depths of hell where your outfit came from. Fancy tights that add flare to your favorite LBD are a great trend, and are fast becoming one of my favorite accessories. However, when you put on a cute dress, struggle into tights, and then stick that cute outfit into a pair of Uggs, and then show up in my elevator at work or on the streets of the Upper West, you ruin my perfectly good day as a hip New York gal with your devastatingly wrong fashion choices. I understand that Uggs keep your toesees snuggled when facing the bitter cold that has finally befallen us, but realize it does so at the expense of your sense of style – although I guess that was minimal to begin with.
Listen it is not like I am totally against the ugly Uggs. I own a pair, but they serve as a large pair of pj slippers, and are paired with the casual clothes that I wear to the laundry room. So, when you read blogs on the celebrity approval for Uggs (like this,"I'm Not Obsessed," which I found while surveying Google for people with my shared frustration), understand that these celebrities, like the featured Reese Witherspoon, run on a different set of rules. Not to mention the fact that no one in all of Hollywood’s glam has paired them with tights. Shame on you.
P.S. Santa – This is not actually naughty when you consider that I may be saving girls from fashion no-no’s. You can reward my kindness by sending the Marc Jacobs Daisy perfume down my chimney. Oh, who am I kidding…I am New Yorker – just leave it with doorman.
