Hello! Last week I shared a super fun project – DIY Gold Leaf Birkenstock, and also mentioned that I’ll share how I style my Birkenstock sandals. As much as they are made for the outdoors and adventures, I love pairing my Birkenstock sandals for a casual weekend look.
Last weekend, with many errands to run, I styled my shiney metallic sandals with denim shorts (see my previous tutorial on how to create your own cut-off shorts), a cotton white top and a cross body bag, like my sandals, speaks both function and fashion. If Birkenstock’s are a little bit above your budget for a pair of summer sandals, I’d recommend checking out SoftMoc’s version. Their version is extremely similar in style, quality, comfort and the best part? They are roughly half the price of Birkenstock’s.
Guess what? Because I adore you all, coupled with the fact that I really want every single person to own a pair of these, I’ve partnered with SoftMoc to give ONE lucky winner ONE pair of Birkenstock sandals and ONE pair of SoftMoc sandals!
