PSA: Birkenstocks Aren't Ugly
Tumblr

We often hear the phrase "What goes around comes around," and that's certainly true in terms of fashion. We've recently seen the return of many 90s pieces like chokers and high-waisted shorts. Another style item that's making a comeback are Birkenstocks, and I'm here to tell you that they're not ugly.

Near the end of second semester, I found myself wishing I had a pair of sandals that aren't bar shoes and are also made for trekking back and forth from Farmer. My other pairs of sandals had either fallen victim to Gatlinburg formal or the soles just weren't cut out for the strenuous journey across campus. That's when I discovered Birkenstocks.

Splurging on a pair of these sandals was a great decision. The thick sole is perfect for the amount of walking I do during the school year and the adjustable straps make them perfect for anyone.

With all these fantastic benefits, you might be wondering what the problem is. There seems to be a stigma around these shoes. Throw on a pair of socks with them and you'll probably never find love. Some may also consider them "Jesus sandals."

I was recently sporting my Birks and my dear friend kindly told me how ugly my shoes were. Baffled, I decided I needed to tell the world that Birkenstocks aren't ugly!

Heidi Klum, a supermodel, loves her Birks. She keeps this tie dye dress daytime casual by adding a pair of the "Gizeh Birko-Flor" style sandals.

Jessica Alba shows that Birkenstocks are the perfect shoe for running errands and looking chic at the same time.

They're the perfect addition to a flowy summer dress.

All the different styles and colors means that there's a pair of Birks to go with every outfit.

Come on, they're so cute!


You can get a pair of Birkenstocks here.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
