So I know it’s September now, but did I mention I had a birthday in August? Cuz I did. I’m at a stage in life where I’m still young enough that I want people to know it’s my birthday and shower me with gifts and compliments, but I’m old enough that I don’t want people to ask too many questions. Suffice it to say I had a birthday and it was lovely. I took a little pre-birthday trip to NYC (more on that later), but my actual birthday was a Monday, which I spent at work. I went for a mature yet playful combo of a navy dress with tassel earrings – sort of a business in the front, party in the back situation.

I’ve had a couple weeks now to acclimate to my new age – ahem, don’t ask too many questions, remember? – and it seems to be OK so far. Here’s to another swell year.

Navy Florals

When: August 7 // Weather: hot // Real life: work

There comes a point when I have to ask myself:

“Self, do you really need another floral dress?”

Myself is very sassy, so she always answers, “Shut your mouth and hand over that credit card.”

(But myself is also very responsible, so she also usually reminds me to pay my credit card bill promptly and keep up that badass credit score.)
