I know we are OT but the blue ones are still available. Cookie Monster on the feet. To go back to topic, they match my BFF's Celeste Kelly perfectly. We should start a Birkenstocks with H thread - how's that for an unpopular opinion :graucho:
Most days I'm wearing Birks (shearling in the winter and regular Arizonas in the summer) and carrying an H bag...function over form with respect to my feet for sure. But my 'style' does make my unpopular opinion understandable:
I do not understand the appeal of the small seller Kellys (25 or smaller)...they are so 'dainty' and ladylike and I can only imagine how silly I'd look with my Birks and a tiny Kelly!​

Ingenious! But since I had ankle cartilage replacement surgery, all my h in action pics are with Birkenstocks lol. I agree with @Swanky that the high star GGs aren’t comfy, so I swapped out the GG insole for a birkenstock insole, and it’s so much better.

My unpopular opinion is that Hermes and other premier designer RTW and accessories need something down to earth like birkenstocks or doc martens to make any look a bit younger and more casual. more street

@fabdiva, I missed the Manolo birkenstock collaboration release, but I find all collaborations are not as comfy as the regular ones:smile:

and its good we’re all different as both @tinkerbell68 and @periogirl28 rock their Birkenstocks and everything else :biggrin:

I'm guessing, based on your previous posts, that you do not have Fred Flintstone feet as I do :lol: and thus can pull off the look despite the Birks...sadly I cannot. There is simply nothing ladylike about me!
Awwwww. You know I'm joking right? But eveyone rocks their bags differently, there is such a chic, insouciance charm of wearing a big beat up Hermes, esp a well-loved slouchy Birkin or Box Kelly with high shine patina, as I saw this month. Even if I can't carry these off, I can appreciate it. I don't mind the MK being unpopular with some, please leave them for me. :heart:

Shockingly, I agree with every one of these opinions ;) (and since I can't wear GG at all, am tempted by this insole thing).
Think the "H and edgy/avant garde outfits" thread needs a li'l bump :smile:
 
My unpopular opinion is that acronyms makes for poor SEO, but I'm sure many are quite used to using and reading them! "Here's my RS and RM", "I chose GT and ET", "Bought a BBB"

K28, B30, H25 and L26.
Went to FSH to see my SA because I wanted a QB to go with my SO K20 in RS, but the SM said I was SOL :graucho:
 
My H unpopular opinion is H-chic grandmas were/are probably the coolest, seriously the early 'early adopters'.
My super unpopular opinion: there is nothing wrong with dressing your age. We don't all have to be eternally 25! A well dressed, elegant 50 year old woman in clothes that are well-tailored and suit her is a classy look.
