You're right. These shoes add balance. You look terrific!

Thumbs up. You nailed the look. xo

well color me surprised - i would have thought those kinds of shoes would totally overwhelm you, but the ensemble looks all kinds of fab

Aw, thank you for the validation that this works! I didn't think there would be so many replies. Excited to wear these again to modernize some jeggings.

Wow, I haven't thought of it's power to balance some heavy toppers, but it totally works, you quite nailed it, Rae, so fab!

what a great & stylish outfit! you look very comfortable and cool. the angled hem & little leg show is great!

I have tried Birks on and off over the years, but they never seemed to work quite right for my feet, & the granola styling was not really for me. A couple of years ago I did get some silver Gizehs & my feet have become fussy enough that now they work pretty well for summer sandals!

Last week I ordered some black patent Kairos (from Amazon for cheap) & like the high contrast. I also pulled another chunky 2 strap pair out (from the ebay pile) that are very similar to yours (from Ziera/Kumfs) that I plan to try.
I hope I can make it as stylish as you!

I love it!

Fabulous! Love the look and the comfort.

I like this, the pairing with "futuristic" items - the asymmetrical, pointed hem skirt, etc.

But I am having heart-palpitations over all these Birks. I do have a visceral, knee-jerk reaction against them. Because before the zombie apocalypse, there was the smelly-hippie apocalypse...

Whilst I wouldn't sport the Birkenstock look, on you they really work and you're right they ground this look.

I am having a hard time getting over your fab skirt (F21? No way!) to see the new shoes

Never thought Birkenstock's could look so good!

This is so stunning, I love it!
