TO BIRKENSTOCK OR NOT?
It seems to me that all the questionable choices in fashion that I made back in the 90's are coming back to remind me I'm not getting any younger. **EX: white platform sneakers, Dr. Marten sandals & mary janes, Old Navy Anoraks, etc. (As i type this I swear I can hear the sounds of the Cranberries & Lisa Loeb CD's playing off in the distance)
And as glad as I am to see Dr. Martens & overalls coming back, I'm still on the fence about rocking a pair of Birkenstocks. I remember wearing a knock off pair back in the day, but am still a little leery of purchasing the really thing now that I can afford a real pair. Is this a fad that will end once fall gets here or is it here to stay? With that said, I'll probably buy a pair to wear in place of plastic flip flops all summer. Birkenstocks are great for making a dressier outfit more casual. But please don't read that as wearing Birks with a fancy dress, but more like wearing a nice pair of shorts & a button up with Birks instead of a pair of heels. You know, for those lazy nights/days that you'd rather walk over hot coals then put on yet another pair of heels.
What do you think? Trendable or fashion faux pas?
