I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I have a severe case of Birkenstocks on my mind. Literally cannot stop thinking about them.
We can thank Celine for the unpredicted revival of these both cool and ugly sandals, which many of us had probably written off for good.
I owned three pairs when I was 14, but threw them away for fear of the embarrassment I’d cause myself if I continued to wear them. However, my secret love of them never waned! As soon as the weather heats up I’ll be proudly wearing the Arizona style with my latest purchase – the Acne Pop Betty boyfriend jeans … What do you think of them? Camp love or camp hate?

Ok they are not the stereotypical pretty sandals that everyone knows and loves. Even though I don’t think I would wear them personally, I can see the appeal. Plus you can’t go wrong teaming them with the boyfriend jeans 🙂

Thanks fashiondiction! Think I’m going to get some!
Love this post – those photos are beautiful. Maybe you’re right, they might just be back. X
Thank you BlushandBeige. It’s funny how fashion goes in cycles. I probably shouldn’t be so hasty in throwing things out x
I adore the comfort of them, though there are few models that are actually very pretty.

I would agree. I don’t like many of them either. I do think the Arizona style works though x
yes, they’re back – again! still not sure, if I’m glad about the revival or not. but also thinking of the birkenstocks.

At least for a while we can wear both fashionable and comfortable shoes! Such a rarity!

They’re back alright! Loving the stylish twist this time around.

Me too. The Bassike lookbook (as mentioned in the post) has given me plenty of inspiration!
They have never been away – well, not in my wardrobe anyway!
Nice one Therese! I shouldn’t have been so impressionable at 14 but this time around I will keep mine for good. x

“Didn’t see it coming”–well said! Who could have? Such a weird trend after all the sky-high heels in the last few years. Guess that’s a prime example of why they call it “fashion’s pendulum”.
