Ugg Goes Metallic

As long as I can remember, I've been firmly against Uggs. Too trendy, too ugly, too expensive. (I happily paid a much more modest sum on eBay for one awesome pair of vintage fur-lined moonboots that served me well for a few years in New York's unkinder months.) And yet something about one (and just one) of the new metallic shades of the world's most ugsome boot is kind of calling me. Uggs in soft gold -- is this maybe, just maybe, okay?



Ugg Classic Short boot in soft gold, $150.

So what do you think: Does the soft shimmer impart a certain, dare I say it, sophistication to the odious Ugg, or is a pig in gold lip gloss still a pig? Do let me know, gentle readers.
