It’s absolutely freezing today for us Californians. There is a high wind advisory in effect ’til 11 pm tonight, and this morning, when I stood outside to do yard duty, I thought I might die in the windy weather. I checked my iPhone, and it said that with windchill, the temperature felt like 49 degrees, which, in my humble opinion, is FAR TOO COLD for me to be out supervising adolescents playing basketball.
The majority of my body was freezing, thanks to me wearing a long-sleeved wrap dress and tights, which are usually warm enough for my classroom.
But do you know what WAS warm? My feets. Because last night, I purchased these from Old Navy, which remind me of these little UGGs I just wrote about wanting. Except, these only cost me $34.50, and not $140. They fit my calves, they are comfy and warm and amazing. I may have to get them in other colors. Will I be mocked for wearing leg sweaters everyday? Probably. Do I care? Not so much.
You know, I used to mock people for wearing UGGs everywhere. But, now I know: if Old Navy knock offs are this warm and cozy, how much MORE awesome would real ones be? I can’t even imagine the glory.
Still, please do us all a favor and avoid the short-shorts or mini-skirt and UGGs combo.
*Shout out to Tabitha, who commented about the Old Navy version, and to Princess Nebraska, who brought them to my attention once again via G-chat. Also, to Lauren at Old Navy who HID THEM FOR ME so they weren’t accidentally put away from their hold, as they are selling out like whoa.
Just A Titch 
I would kill for 49 degrees! Current temp: 28 with the windchill and snowing. Montana, for the win. Blech.
super cute! LOVE MY F-UGGS!!!
That is Fake uggs, not f#*king ugly uggs…. although I think they kinda are…. but OH SO COMFY!!
I LOVE MY Com Fuggs!
Real Uggs are indeed gloriously warm. And I’m from Canada where it is cold in the winter. As such, I don’t care if they look stupid. When it’s -10 degrees outside and my toes are actually TOO WARM, I’m thinking that the Ugg designers are onto something.
That sounds like a really cute outfit you were wearing! And I love those Old Navy boots…want some.
I just bought these in grey – lets get together and rock them out soon.
We stop doing outside duty when it’s below 30 degrees. 🙂
Those boots look sooo comfy and warm! I just don’t know if I’d be brave enough to wear them. I’m barely brave enough to wear my Fuggs (bought at Target!). But I do like them!
Yay! I’m so proud. 🙂
i too used to mock people for wearing uggs. and then i put my feet in a pair. and right now i’m sitting here in my ugg slippers, with my two pairs of uggs in the closet, and i’m like DEAL WITH IT Y’ALL.
f-uggs…that’s cute, i love it 🙂
I have a pair of pink Merrell boots I bought 2 years ago [got ’em at Marshall’s so I didn’t pay hundreds of dollars for them] and i ABSOLUTELY love them! Wear them whenever I can.
In Minnesota, if you can get your feet to a comfortable warmth [w/o sweating] temperature, you’ve struck gold!
Glad you found a pair!
Ugh, Uggs. I just can’t get over them. I believe that in some cases people should suffer a little bit for fashion. So, by that logic, enjoying massive comfort while sacrificing any fashion sense is just wrong. Uggs are as terrible as Crocs to me. The only peole who in my eyes get a pass on the Crocs are doctors/nurses. Hey, if they get me fixed up, they can wear whatever they want for those 10+ hour days.
