Are Uggs in where you live? In case you don't know..Uggs are uber-expensive, tall boots - usually made out of sheepskin - that are enormously popular in Minnesota - especially at the University of Minnesota.
I live in Minnesota, as I said, and girls CANNOT get enough of them; winter, summer, spring, and fall. With mini-skirts, jeans, shorts, whatever. I personally don't like this fashion sense at all - and I would NEVER pay $180 for a pair of boots. Perhaps this is just me.
I find this fashion sense a little funny, and I once heard that in places like Florida - Uggs are WAY "out". Is this true?
Are girls ridiculously obsessed with Uggs where you live? Or are they an out-dated trend? I'd love to hear your opinions as well! And don't forget to tell me what country/state/city you live in!

If you live somewhere where it snows, they are great but I live in arizona, we have no snow and girls look absolutely ridiculous wearing their uggs with skirts and a tank top because it's only 70 in the winter. Haha, I think clothing should have function as well as fashion.

YES. Where I live in Charlotte, North Carolina everyone wears these boots! It isn't year round like you say it is there but mostly in the winter when it is cold. I personally like the boots but I don't want to pay $180 for a pair of BOOTS.

I've seen very few Uggs here in Maine, I believe there are so few because so many young people graduate from college and leave this state, because of the lack of jobs and high taxes.

Where I live in Texas They arent very popular here. Atleast to my knowlege flip flops are a bigg thing here So big you will see girls wearing them in the winter lol. I never really liked the whole ugg look myself though maybe I just havnt been payin to much attention. They are hideous to me but that is my opinion. :P

Yes uggs were very popular for this years 2008 Winter in Canada, as with probably every country in the world. Even though I'm not a female, I found that they were very popular with the ladies everywhere! I didn't know they were that expensive $180 for the boots, but like every year's trend it tends to be over priced stuff.I remember the fad of crocs, which cost 30$ for a pair of plastic! I really didn't think they looked good, but with Uggs, they look simple yet but very appealing.

yup they are in now here too. i am in ontario and oddly enough, i see people wearing them in the heat of july! my daughter bought a pair last fall with her own money and really loved them. the fall stuff is just coming out now, so we will see what fashion dictates for this fall.
