<p>Uh-oh. I did that one. Here’s hoping I was one of the few where it worked. 
</p>
<p>Well Flossy, I did it once, and it just wasn’t my style. There was a gal at work though who looked darling in that get- up.</p>
<p>I think socks and Birks are fine. If you are wearing Birks (which I do sometimes) you don’t care what anyone thinks anyway! :)</p>
<p>I see a lot of people in Seattle wearing socks and sandals when I visit my family there. That’s not exactly a fashion hub (and my relatives are more the hiker/outdoorsy types!), so I don’t think it matters there as much as it would in NYC or LA.</p>
<p>MOfWC is right: Birks is the only sandal that is meant to be worn with thick wool socks! :)</p>
<p>They are baaaaaaack! 
And, fingers crossed, are going away soon.</p>

<p>How dare they do that to a sweet little wallabee! </p>
<p>(I’m looking at the photo of the jacked up one.)</p>
<p>Wallabees are a happy memory for me. Of course, I knit socks that would go perfectly with Birks, too.</p>
<p>I like Wallabee’s, but socks with any kind of sandal are just plain wrong!!!</p>
<p>Gourmetmom, since Birks are wrong to begin with, it is the only sandal that is ok to wear with socks. 
even though two wrongs a right do not make… Yoda speak. </p>
<p>Speaking of Birks… Saw a pair of $800 Birks at the SF Saks the other day. Totally forgot who the designer was, so had to google:</p>

<p>Givenchy! They should design a line of matching wool socks. $200/pair would be a good price point for those socks. ;)</p>
<p>This is like shades of 10 years ago, when lots of designers (Burberry, Gucci, etc) designed Dr. Scholl’s. </p>
<p>Believe it or not, the two strap white Birk sandal was very hot and sold out everywhere this summer. </p>
<p>Deleted. Posted on wrong thread.</p>
<p>That blue Wallabee is all wrong. 
</p>
<p>I saw a woman wearing embellished black footie/ankle socks with dressy black mules (and a skirt) yesterday. Strange, but warm?</p>
