Hello and welcome to my latest blog post! This week we are talking about Birkenstock sandals. If this is your first visit to my page, welcome! You might want to check out my other posts, I have ones on white shirt styling, satin slip dress, occasion wear and ways to wear white jeans amongst others.
First up the Birkenstock’s I’ve wearing. There is so much choice on the market when it comes to Birkenstock’s, so many different styles. To be honest I chose mine based on price! They were the cheapest ones I could find, I haven’t had them before so rather than spending £60-£90 on them straightaway I wanted to see whether I liked them. The verdict is I do, they are so comfy and go with everything so I may be investing in some different colours! There is the link to the ones I have. Also here are some other options, a lilac pair or these brown versions. If your not in the market for spending a lot there are some great dupes on the high street, someone shared some on Instagram from Primark that looked like a great buy.
Outfit one is all items I have shown you before in various different outfits but let me refresh you! This oversized blazer is a H&M buy and is still in stock, they also have it in grey check. My sleeveless T-shirt is a wardrobe staple of mine that I have been wearing on repeat, I will be getting it in more colours! The skirt is also from H&M you will probably recognise it from my occasion wear blog where I dressed it up, here I have dressed it down for a daytime look. Last up my handbag is one that I have on constant repeat at the moment and it is from Fiorelli and out of stock so I have an alternative from Parfois that is super cute.
Next up I have teamed the Birkenstock’s with a pair of classic shorts and the summer classic, a white shirt! This one has a nice tie detail at the front and is still in stock, they also have it in snake print. My shorts are a charity shop find from a couple of years ago, but the high street have a lot of beige options on the market, these are H&M ones. Lastly I have added a black clutch bag to tie the black of the sandals into the outfit, again mine is a charity shop/eBay find I think. I have found this oversized clutch bag on Deichmann that would work well.
For outfit three I have gone for a summer dress look, this dress is from Shein about three years ago, I brought it for my last beach holiday to Santorini. New look have a super similar alternative for this season which looks like great quality! I have paired it with a straw bag from H&M that is perfect for beach days, they also have it in white now.
For outfit four, of course I had to bring the favourite jeans out! These are the collusion studio ones I talk about all the time, I have now picked up another pair as I feared they would stop stocking them. I have paired them with a classic T-shirt and oversized shirt combo. My tee is from In The Style last year but I have found one in a similar colour from Adidas on ASOS. The green of this shirt matches pretty well, it is a H&M one that they have in black and white as well, I sized up two sizes on this one for the oversized look. Lastly my handbag is my classic Cambridge satchel company one that you have all seen many times before, link to a similar one here.
For my last outfit I have gone more formal/workwear, not sure if you can wear Birkenstock’s to the office, health and safety and all but never mind! Starting with my necklace, this is a Mango one that I got from ASOS and I wear it so much. Next up is another T-shirt from H&M that has become a staple in my wardrobe, I have my eye on a couple of the other colours! My blazer is one of the ones I showed you in my blazer edit that had sold out. I have struggled to find anything really similar but I have a couple of colourful tropical options. First of all this Silk Fred one that is currently half price and a bargain £15. Secondly a LaRedoute one that is a bit more expensive but looks like it would be a super flattering shape.
My trousers are of course the Lorna Luxe ones from In The Style, they are my go to trousers when I want a bit of a smarter look. Lastly my gorgeous new coach bag 😍. I did an unboxing of this on my Instagram so head over there if you want to see it in more detail @whatkatyworenext_ Graham kindly got this for me on our trip away to Portsmouth. We went to Gunwharf Quays which is a designer outlet shopping centre, so the bag wasn’t as expensive as they are online. It took me hours to choose, we were in and out of Michael Kors, Radley, Kate Spade and finally I settled on this Coach one. I can’t find my exact colour way online anywhere but Harrods have this beauty currently in their sale 😍.
That’s it for my Birkenstock styling ideas, I hope you have enjoyed reading! Next week I am thinking either denim shorts outfits or summer key staples, if you want to be the first to know what I choose then please subscribe and you will be notified when the blog is live.
Have a good week, see you next time
