STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Blissful In Birkenstocks

Hello all my lovely Fashionistas and Fashionistos! For those of us who are at southern schools, it’s safe to say that we probably won’t be getting typical fall weather for another month; however, that doesn’t mean we can’t make a transition into fall colors! This Fashionista utilized this trend by pairing together a burgundy babydoll dress and a pair of white Birkenstock sandals. Let’s be honest, it’s a struggle trying to look cute for a class that starts at 8:00 a.m. but this look is a perfect way to look fashionable and still remain comfortable.

The funny thing about Birkenstocks is that these shoes were a huge trend back in the 2000s, so it’s amazing seeing how they have come back full circle. When I was in middle school, we would not wear the real Birkenstock shoes, but all of us would be sporting our Beaver Creeks! To me, this is the greatest thing about the fashion industry. We have trends that come and go, and then 10 years later we see them become trendy and chic again!

Right about now you may be asking yourself one of two questions: how do I style these sandals and how can I recreate this look? Well, I am glad you asked!  If you would like to recreate this Fashionista’s look, all you need are these three things: a pair of Birkenstocks, a burgundy dress and a black satchel. If you’re looking for other ways to style these shoes during the fall, you could easily pair them with black skinny jeans, a chambray button-down shirt and a statement necklace.

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “I like looking cute, but I’m all about being comfortable. Dresses are always great because you can just slip one on and head out the door without putting in too much effort”.
