To buy the boots or not to buy the boots

One of my favorite parts about winter is that I get to wear my UGG boots.

                                                       Now, I know that some of you may not be fans of this shoe.

I can understand (and agree!) that the classic UGG boots are not the most stylish pair of shoes around. I have been wearing classic UGG boots for the past 4 or 5 years and really love how warm they keep my feet. Living in New York, it is always a task to try and find shoes that are comfortable There were a few days last winter where outdoor temperatures were close to 10 degrees! Living in NYC, I get around using mostly using public transportation and sometimes the bus isn't very reliable. What's a girl to do? I put on my trusty UGG boots and even if the rest of me was freezing, my feet were alway warm!

I still have a pair of chocolate brown and a pair of black but, a part of me wanted to see what else UGG was offering this season. I have a number of favorite boots this season but, my absolute favorite has been the Mailyn boot (seen below).

I actually went and tried these on and I DO love how they look on me.
However, I just don't know how  practical they are for everyday wear.
Although I may change my mind sometime in the future, right now,  I am pretty confident that I am going to hold off on these for the moment. I will just continue to admire them from afar...


Have you ever given up on a clothing or shoe item because of its practicality?
