Yesterday I spent the day at home in bed and on the couch doing my best to kick this cold. While laying around with hot cider and my trusty box of kleenex, I started flipping through this month's Lucky Magazine. What I noticed was the above article, which made me realize that this is not the first time the Birkenstock question has come up recently. I remembered reading a few blog posts here and here and it really got me thinking... are Birkenstocks back in style?
To be 100% honest, I kind of went through a hippie phase back in high school where I could always been seen in Birkenstocks or knit booties that I bought at the local "hemp store." I was so happy always being comfortable that my style really didn't evolve until later. I am happy to say that phase is behind me but I never was able to get rid of those Birks. Something about them stood the test of time through all of my moves and closet clean-outs. So, to this day, I still own two pairs.
What do you think? Are Birkenstocks back? Should I pull them out and rock them this weekend? Or should I pretend that I never confessed to owning them and let them live at the bottom of my closet for another ten years?
