It pains me to let you go

After 5 years, I am sad to say that I have had to make the decision to part with my first ever pair of UGGs - my gray low-rise Baileys. 

It took years for me to jump on the UGG bandwagon and after I made my first purchase and slipped into them for the first time, it was magic. I wanted to wear them everywhere (but I didn't because that would be a fashion faux-pas) and when the Canadian winters co-operated, happily pulled them out. They even inspired me to write a haiku.

Good-bye my friend. You've kept me warm and cozy for 5 seasons and I will never forget you. Even though I have a new pair (given to me by my mom, who didn't wear hers) they will never have that same bond as you and I, once had. 

It's getting cooler now! Which means UGGs weather!

One of the best thing about cooler weather is that I get to break out my UGGs. For years I was against this trend, even when I lived in Toronto and walked every where, every day. I thought they were f-ugly to say the least and couldn't describe the distaste I felt for them. 

When I moved back to Vancouver, oddly, I felt colder than ever because of the damp weather and since I still commuted daily, I begrudgingly tried them, and the second my feet touched the soft woolly lining, I was in love. 

So much so, that I wrote a haiku about them. 

Just 'cuz I love them, I still think they're f'ugly - but perhaps in a cute way now ;)

My gray ones are wearing out but I was lucky enough that my mom gave me her brand new ones in tan =D
