I don't think I'd&nbsp;seen navy birks before -- they're really a good balance between trendier and earthier. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--burks-with-skirts-and-dresses#post-1246183 Fri, 09 May 2014 00:46:11 +0000 shiny 1246183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES!</p> <p>(sorry too tired to expound - wish YLF had a "like" feature!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--burks-with-skirts-and-dresses#post-1246113 Thu, 08 May 2014 23:23:52 +0000 CocoLion 1246113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them all. 2-3-4 feel a bit more modern but 1 works too in a sort of 90s way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--burks-with-skirts-and-dresses#post-1246109 Thu, 08 May 2014 23:20:31 +0000 Aida 1246109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both of the additional photos look so cute! The second with hair down + sandals works nicely because both items add a softer boho feel. The first with the loafer(ish) flats and hair up dressed the outfit up a bit, with the sweater's casualness&nbsp;balancing things out. Very nice! Love the idea of metallic oxfords, too.</p> <p>(Julie, I thought of that as well!&nbsp;AD references pop up so often it's remarkable )</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--burks-with-skirts-and-dresses#post-1245821 Thu, 08 May 2014 18:46:53 +0000 Kiwichik 1245821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't been a fan of Birks but looking at posts like yours I'm rapidly becoming a convert. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--burks-with-skirts-and-dresses#post-1245517 Thu, 08 May 2014 13:47:55 +0000 pil 1245517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So nice, I especially love 1 and 2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--burks-with-skirts-and-dresses#post-1245208 Thu, 08 May 2014 02:48:12 +0000 MsLuna 1245208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Karina, you look like a model in these outfits and are very on-trend! Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--burks-with-skirts-and-dresses#post-1245200 Thu, 08 May 2014 02:43:03 +0000 kellygirl 1245200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great Birkie outfits! I especially love 1 and 2. I kind of want to see a more delicate sandal with the maxi but I think it still works. Love the sweater and loafers in your second set. SO pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--burks-with-skirts-and-dresses#post-1245195 Thu, 08 May 2014 02:38:55 +0000 Jaime 1245195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is my favorite but they all look good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--burks-with-skirts-and-dresses#post-1245106 Thu, 08 May 2014 01:13:12 +0000 E 1245106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh fun! I really like the softer shade of navy, and the first two outfits seem to just perfect for the trend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--burks-with-skirts-and-dresses#post-1245104 Thu, 08 May 2014 01:12:03 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1245104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Way to rock those Birks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--burks-with-skirts-and-dresses#post-1245095 Thu, 08 May 2014 01:06:21 +0000 JulieJohn 1245095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent looks! I think your feminine style allows you to pull of the Birk look without getting any frump on you. Well done!</p> <p>"Hair up, glasses off" - you made me think of an old joke from Arrested Development. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--burks-with-skirts-and-dresses#post-1245084 Thu, 08 May 2014 00:59:00 +0000 jackiec 1245084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have nailed the Birks look - fab! Love the next set of photos too, esp what you wore to church. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--burks-with-skirts-and-dresses#post-1245038 Thu, 08 May 2014 00:06:40 +0000 Elizabeth P 1245038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicely done!&nbsp; I prefer the last outfit with the leopard flats <br />&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--burks-with-skirts-and-dresses#post-1245023 Wed, 07 May 2014 23:55:10 +0000 fuzzylogic 1245023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bulls-eye, Karina!!! So fab! Particularly loving #2 and #3!</p> <p>Also, the extra photos above are right on the mark, too! You have nailed MOTG/casual with children!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--burks-with-skirts-and-dresses#post-1245014 Wed, 07 May 2014 23:38:46 +0000 Karina 1245014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Couldn't resist trying Aida's suggestion for #4 above: hair up plus loafer(ish) flats. Probably metallic oxfords would be even better but I don't have any. The second photo is how I wore this outfit to church last Sunday. Tote is necessary for kids' stuff. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--burks-with-skirts-and-dresses#post-1245003 Wed, 07 May 2014 23:19:58 +0000 Karina 1245003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida, you're absolutely right about #4, hair up plus loafers. Will be trying that soon. Thanks for the great styling idea! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--burks-with-skirts-and-dresses#post-1244967 Wed, 07 May 2014 22:37:05 +0000 Aida 1244967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 and 2 work the best to me as well, very intentional looking. #4 with hair up could work, too, but I think oxfords or loafers would be a better juxtaposition there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--burks-with-skirts-and-dresses#post-1244932 Wed, 07 May 2014 22:08:27 +0000 Karina 1244932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think # 1 and 2 work best, maybe because they seem most deliberate? I also realized I may be gravitating toward this trend because it is a way to incorporate my Portland roots with my current SoCal suburban life. thanks everybody for your thoughts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--burks-with-skirts-and-dresses#post-1244860 Wed, 07 May 2014 20:43:24 +0000 Beth Ann 1244860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's how it's done!&nbsp; I'm particularly fond of #1, but they're all fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--burks-with-skirts-and-dresses#post-1244848 Wed, 07 May 2014 20:26:32 +0000 always trying 1244848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeh love all the looks.&nbsp; you are doing a great job in promoting the Birks trend to be worn with literally everything.&nbsp; I have worn mine only&nbsp;with BF's&nbsp; so far, but if I can make mine look as good as you do, I will try them with my print maxi too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--burks-with-skirts-and-dresses#post-1244845 Wed, 07 May 2014 20:22:55 +0000 JAileen 1244845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of the outfits look great. I especially like #1. I don't think I can personally pull it off because I was there back in the hippie days so I fear the Earth Mother look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--burks-with-skirts-and-dresses#post-1244837 Wed, 07 May 2014 20:15:35 +0000 catgirl 1244837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of these looks beyond belief. The Birks to me are the KEY to why I like them because they give that element of surprise and fun - although you'd still look fab in pumps, just more classic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--burks-with-skirts-and-dresses#post-1244833 Wed, 07 May 2014 20:11:12 +0000 Ledonna N. 1244833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look very lovely very earthy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--burks-with-skirts-and-dresses#post-1244820 Wed, 07 May 2014 19:48:00 +0000 Angie 1244820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 and #2 are fashionably fabulous. Well done.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--burks-with-skirts-and-dresses#post-1244808 Wed, 07 May 2014 19:30:25 +0000 rachylou 1244808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just fabulous. The redemption of the birk! Lol. You have an amazingly neat and tidy style, Karina. I think the inclusion of birks is an interesting juxtaposition. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--burks-with-skirts-and-dresses#post-1244807 Wed, 07 May 2014 19:28:42 +0000 Neel 1244807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! I love all of them. And you have styled them well imo. Your hair looks lovely both ways. My fav outfit would be 1. That dress is gorgeous on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--burks-with-skirts-and-dresses#post-1244795 Wed, 07 May 2014 19:15:12 +0000 cciele 1244795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all of your outfits Karina, hair up and down! The blue color looks great. The only pause I had was with the last outfit. I know it's a light sweater, but at a first glance I had a seasonally confused reaction of sweater + birks </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--burks-with-skirts-and-dresses#post-1244792 Wed, 07 May 2014 19:10:13 +0000 Karina 1244792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two of these outfits have been worn outside the house and the other two will be soon! I opted for navy birks since I already have black leather flat sandals. Angie's post yesterday about birks with skirts and dresses was right on target for me as I'll be wearing this combo a lot in our hot summer. I'd love any pointers and also to see photos of how others are styling this look. For me, I am doing at the knee or maxi with volume on top or bottom but not both. I think big sunglasses or a cuff bracelet help balance the ensemble. Thoughts, ideas, hair up/down? </p>
