Remember feet swell more in warm weather too.</p> <p>Fun50s, they are supercomfy for me. Not sure if this is true for everyone but I believe they are considered comfort shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-casual-and-silver-birks-2-ways/page/2#post-1241931 Mon, 05 May 2014 00:02:30 +0000 Fun50's 1241931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are the Birks comfortable? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-casual-and-silver-birks-2-ways/page/2#post-1241870 Sun, 04 May 2014 22:55:22 +0000 Caro in Oz 1241870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF - birks AND white yay!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-casual-and-silver-birks-2-ways/page/2#post-1241806 Sun, 04 May 2014 21:37:19 +0000 Marmee 1241806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AG, the front straps are on the loosest setting, but the left foot must be a bit wider than the right from the surgery. &nbsp;I'm wearing them around the house right now, and they fit better than they did last week. &nbsp;I just looked at the weather report, and there isn't a warm day in sight, so I have lots of time to try them out inside before I decide! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-casual-and-silver-birks-2-ways/page/2#post-1241783 Sun, 04 May 2014 21:17:01 +0000 Sara L. 1241783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both outfits are great! &nbsp;I love the white top you found. &nbsp;I'm going to look at these outfits from the ankles up though because I have a serious poison eye for birks. &nbsp;However, I'm not going to say I'll never like them because my eye may adjust. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-casual-and-silver-birks-2-ways/page/2#post-1241778 Sun, 04 May 2014 21:14:00 +0000 Greyscale 1241778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am totally going to copy outfit two with my Zara skirt (not as nice).

The birks look fabulous! I ordered a pair today (footbed sandals, in any case).

I have a wide high volume high arch foot, and I can't stand anything pressing on the top of my foot.&nbsp; Do you have yours on the biggest setting? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-casual-and-silver-birks-2-ways#post-1241610 Sun, 04 May 2014 18:00:53 +0000 Anonymous 1241610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're looking great in both outfits. Love the red/orange tone and you definitely look good in white.&nbsp;I find the proportions in 2 really pleasing to look at. Love the silver Birkies btw. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-casual-and-silver-birks-2-ways#post-1241604 Sun, 04 May 2014 17:56:43 +0000 Marmee 1241604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these! &nbsp;And the sandals elevate both already terrific outfits. &nbsp;The white is fabulous on you. &nbsp;Love the tan.</p> <p>Have the straps on the&nbsp;silver birks stretched at all? &nbsp;I have them, but they are slightly tight over the former bunion area on my surgery foot.</p> <p>Enjoy your summer weather. &nbsp;Raining and 50 here in Seattle (after 80 degrees last week). &nbsp;Sigh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-casual-and-silver-birks-2-ways#post-1241551 Sun, 04 May 2014 17:13:45 +0000 catgirl 1241551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay!&nbsp; So glad these work.&nbsp; I particularly loved the shorts which I'd forgotten I had.&nbsp; </p> <p>The white tee is a brand called "left of center" - it's a swingy cut and has front pockets.&nbsp; I should have photographed the back, which is why I bought it: it has cut-outs on the back shoulders to look like a racerback.&nbsp; I still feel weird in white - kind of sallow and pristine - but the tan helps offset that feeling, as do your kind words!</p> <p>The silver Birks are going to be a summer workhorse, I hope.</p> <p>Shiny, thank you!&nbsp; I'm growing my hair and it's finally reached a pull-back length. &nbsp; I've had my hair short and it's not a good look.&nbsp; I would love a choppy pixie but I don't have the features for it.&nbsp; I think someone mentioned on another thread that a pulled back look does not necessarily indicate one would look good in short hair, and I am the perfect example of that.</p> <p>And yes, we are having a crazy warm streak.&nbsp; It's already 60 on my deck at 9 am and both pets are lounging in the sun out there.&nbsp; Will share pics - it's too cute!&nbsp; Probably going to go for a hike today.&nbsp; Hoping summer doesn't burn out too soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-casual-and-silver-birks-2-ways#post-1241490 Sun, 04 May 2014 15:54:46 +0000 Anonymous 1241490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love how simple and breezy they both look!

I just got birks as well and will be wearing them with skirts/dresses all summer.

I think that's the first time I've seen you wear it that way. Have you ever considered a short haircut? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-casual-and-silver-birks-2-ways#post-1241456 Sun, 04 May 2014 15:24:19 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1241456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfits say, you are embracing summer! &nbsp; Who knew a white top could cause so much commotion... but joining in, it's great to see you in white... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-casual-and-silver-birks-2-ways#post-1241449 Sun, 04 May 2014 15:18:30 +0000 Angie 1241449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the partially tucked version in #1.

Una, you look great in both outfits. That coral (orange?) color looks smashing on you. I love the cool vibe of your second outfit - "cool" in all of its many positive meanings.
