These new, over-the-knee sequined UGGS are for real and cost $350. Welcome to hell.


It's becoming a mad, mad, mad, mad time of year...but that doesn't mean you are allowed to completely lose your mind.

Sorry to be all Fashion Police here, but since my official title is now Scene style reporter and POP blogger, I have to call out a disturbing look in the holiday fashion forecast: Black sequined, over-the-knee UGGS.

You know, the super comfy Australian boots that look like they just arrived on a space ship from Mars?

I have a pair, I'm not a complete snob -- and they are comfortable as all get out. Stepping into UGGS for the first time is like walking into heaven.

But I'm a lady on the wrong side of 30 (I'll just leave it at that), so when I saw these atrocities, I had to put my fellow shoppers on high alert.

The reason being, I'm sure some savvy shopper will rationalize that because these bad boys are uber-comfy and UGGS, after all, that it's appropriate to wear the blingy, made-for-teenagers boots over some pink sweat pants.

UGG!

Please, for the rest of us, don't distract our oh-so-important shopping duties by pairing your new $350 boots with pajamas -- or even worse, a Forever Lazy jumpsuit (the As Seen on TV fleece body suit, aka a grown-up onsie).

But alas, the minute UGGS were born, so were the thousands of opportunities for fashion faux pas. Bottom line: If you love these UGGS, fine. Just wear them over jeans, not with short shorts. And please be under 20.

Happy holiday shopping!
