Birkenstocks Aren’t Just For Hipsters

Now, I don’t necessarily consider myself a hipster.

That being said, I do love me some birkenstocks.

I’m not sure if it’s the simple, yet not-grandmother design or the oh-so-comfortable leather, but these are my go-to sandals as we get ready for fall.

There’s also a ton of different styles! A hundred or so, actually.

I picked my favorites from the website, which are included below. Use these to spark your Birken-inspiration!

 

Soft Footbed Flower Crush Taupe Suede Arizona

I love the paint-splatter look for these pair; casual, yet cute.

 

Soft Footbed Mirror Pink Birko-Flor Florida

This pop of color is so unexpected, but would complete any outfit!

 

Insignia Blue Birko-Flor Gizeh

UK blue = perfect for tailgating.

 

Black Patent Birko-Flor Madrid

Though these don’t look like the typical Birkenstock, they’re a little more dressy. Pair with a cute top and jeans for Date Night.

 

Cocoa Nubuck Milano

These are my favorite; think of them as the sandals version of nude heels!

 

Happy shopping, collegiettes!!

"Sam I am," and I LOVE to read. Whether it's Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" or The Mortal Instruments series, I'm always reading. And when I'm not reading, I'm writing; English papers, magazine editorials, you name it! Italian food is my favorite, shoe shopping is my addiction, and I hate cold weather. I'm also a proud member of Slytherin house (we're not all bad, I swear).
