Phew. OK! I like the jacketed version of this outfit best, it looks super to me. Very intentional, and stronger outfit juxtaposition. Those are the keys for me.&nbsp;Without the jacket <i>I</i> know that you're being fashionable, but to the untrained eye it may be tough to tell. If that's a concern, which of course it may not be </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birks-midi-to-work#post-1246875 Fri, 09 May 2014 16:31:29 +0000 Anonymous 1246875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good lord!

They really are more versatile than I thought. And it is true that even if they hadn't worked for certain outfits, I would still wear them around the house and yard.</p> <p>Sarah - it's hard to get memories of how we used to wear an item out of our head in order to embrace the "new" way of wearing them isn't it?</p> <p>unfrumped - I completely understand. Just so you know, I did ask the President yesterday what he thought of wearing Birks to work and he promptly said "look at my feet" and smiled and here he was wearing them. I definitely wanted to make sure it was appropriate. I would not wear them on days when I had any meetings but I'm in the office filing and working on minutes today. But I do get that they would not be appropriate in most office settings.</p> <p>Thanks for the feedback ladies </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birks-midi-to-work#post-1246670 Fri, 09 May 2014 12:57:12 +0000 Anonymous 1246670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those Birks are so cute! They are subtle enough that the pattern won't fight other patterns. The outfit is fabulous on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birks-midi-to-work#post-1246659 Fri, 09 May 2014 12:47:28 +0000 unfrumped 1246659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the outfit is totally cute, but would not wear Birks for work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birks-midi-to-work#post-1246658 Fri, 09 May 2014 12:47:12 +0000 sarah 1246658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, what a great look for you, Shannon! I may have to revisit my reluctance to jump on the Birks bandwagon (they were SUCH a part of an earlier life for me). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birks-midi-to-work#post-1246656 Fri, 09 May 2014 12:43:45 +0000 AndiB 1246656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You nailed it! &nbsp;Perfection Shannon!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birks-midi-to-work#post-1246648 Fri, 09 May 2014 12:29:31 +0000 viva 1246648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this works on you, Shannon.

Looks intentional and fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birks-midi-to-work#post-1246634 Fri, 09 May 2014 12:04:26 +0000 missvee 1246634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this, especially with the blazer to give it structure. Your citron bag is the perfect finishing touch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birks-midi-to-work#post-1246633 Fri, 09 May 2014 12:02:57 +0000 Aquamarine 1246633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This outfit makes me so happy!

This is a look I'll definately try to copy I'm surprising myself of embracing the Birks trend - I was so skeptical, but find myself loving the trend so much that I bought myself black Birks yesterday.</p> <p>I think that this kind of purchase also is very easy to defend if you like Birks for indoor use. I mean, you will always find a way to wear them at home, so they won't become closet orphans. At least that's how I'm reasoning </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birks-midi-to-work#post-1246629 Fri, 09 May 2014 11:53:20 +0000 pil 1246629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gotta say they look great to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birks-midi-to-work#post-1246612 Fri, 09 May 2014 11:33:03 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1246612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Angie…I can't tell you how happy I am that Birks have somehow found their way into the trends and become stylish. My weird little high volume feet LOVE them &nbsp;I'm also completely enamoured with the Birks with skirts/dresses trend - you just never know what's going to strike your style fancy do you???</p> <p>So today's outfit started with my black and white striped VC tube skirt (the narrower stripes work better on my fuller figure than the wide stripes I find). I paired the skirt with my black lace short sleeved fluid pull over. This is the twin to the cream lace pullover I bought. I loved that one so much that I quickly duplicated it in black. I then topped that all with my white leather jacket for outdoors and possibly as a blazer in my office, which I find chilly from time to time. Then on went my fabulous black and white polka dot Birks……"aaaaahhhhhh" went my feet…</p> <p>To finish off the outfit, I added a pop of citron with my small leather clutch, my taupe and silver wrap watch, red specs and swipe of watermelon coloured lipstick. Yep. This feels like&nbsp;<i>ME</i>.</p> <p>So I'm interested in hearing what y'all think of the Birks with a midi on short me. Do you think it works? Does the outfit work as a whole? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.</p> <p>Pullover: Smart Set<br />Skirt: Vince Camuto<br />Sandals: Birkenstock<br />Clutch: Gap<br />Watch: Fossil<br />Jacket: Danier Leather</p> <p>BTW I would normally think that Birks would be too casual for my office. But when you see the President wearing them with khakis at work…I think you're probably ok </p>
