Happy birthday to me! I turn 27 today. (This is the part where you take to the comments and tell me I don’t look a day over 19.) Having a birthday on Monday is pretty lame, but I wore this yesterday to go out to a bar and celebrate with friends. I forgot to take a single picture of the event, but I swear I really do have friends.

This was just a regular old bar, not some fancy club, so I wanted to be casual but still wear something a little special (it was my party, after all). I just got this skirt from Anthropologie, and with a tee and wedges it was pretty much perfect. Hello…it has castles on it. How can you go wrong? And if you want to do print mixing but don’t feel like finding the prints yourself, this skirt does the work for you.

Sometimes I don’t understand what people are wearing at the mall. There are those girls strutting around in their strappy heels…whom are you trying to impress? You’ve got a lot of walking to do, and you choose the least comfortable shoes you own? Plus you’re going to spend 5 minutes taking them off and on in every dressing room. Not practical. Oh, and don’t get me started on the ladies who rub their full face of makeup on the last white shirt in my size.

When I have a big shopping day ahead of me, I dress strategically: a top with a wide neck hole that’s easy to take off without messing up my hair, comfy shoes that slip on and off quickly, no jewelry that’s going to catch on fabric, and no messy makeup or lipgloss.

Luckily, these rules apparently still allow me to dress like a bag of Skittles, which is a life goal of mine.

In case you’re wondering, my shopping was quite successful. Mustard yellow jeans, polka dot tank, striped polo, and a mixed-print skirt. Stay tuned…
