Lol I'm a fashion-hating fashion student so I should know all about this stuff!
I love Uggs, but only because of their comfort levels!! It's immense! And they make amazing slipper boots. I also think they can be really cute... but I have a different idea of 'cute' to most people round here today. My favourites can be found at places like http://www.cherrykoko.com/cherry.php , http://www.candypop.co.kr/ , http://www.sechuna.com/ ... I like a lot of Asian cuteness XD If it makes me look like a 12-year-old girl, it's all good!!
But I don't see the point in wearing actual Uggs when you can get them cheaper and just as good from pretty much anywhere else. I'm not about making a statement that I wear Uggs; I'm more about having really warm toasty toes! I love massive boots and massive jumpers, so frequently I'll be in a men's XL hoodie and some Ugg-style boots. If I'm trying to make an effort, I'll get a really big hoodie but maybe a pink or purple one, and try to wear some boots with heels instead
but I totally understand what Mark198423 means. A lot of the time, girls who blindly follow the latest fashions seem to be the ones who have no identity of their own. Not ALL the time, but a lot of the time. I think it's different when you like one of the latest trends but you can actually say why you like it, and you're also not afraid to dislike some other trends, etc. Eg, the fact the Uggs are so comfortable, or the way I love loads of what's in fashion right now but I've actually liked it for the past 7yrs or so! It all depends, but I think what Mark meant was that he didn't want another fashion clone drone type!
