You know my birthday was last week but THIS, folks, is my very first outfit post as a 28-year-old. These photos were taken on my birthday, post-dinner and pre-cupcakes.

If you see any new wrinkles or gray hairs, please don’t tell me. I would rather remain blissfully unaware. I’m not too worried though, because I did get carded at dinner 🙂

Also, in case you missed the announcement, I am in NYC right now, so you can see what I’m up to on Instagram!

Pink Drinks & Pleats

Are you dying over how perfectly this dress goes with the wall art in the background? Because I am. I wore this dress a couple weeks ago for a weeknight date (I actually wore the same thing to work that day, but I had the cardigan buttoned up, and no belt or clutch). We had dinner at Sabbatical in Broad Ripple, which was fantastic, and on the way back to the car we saw this wall on the side of a diner or something. So no, I didn’t actually drink a pink milkshake or whatever that’s supposed to be, but if I had, this would have been a great dress for it, no?

Unfortunately, if I ever do wear this dress again – for pink drinking or anything else – it won’t have these cute pleats in it. Why? Well because sometimes you don’t know how to eat nachos like a lady and you spill on yourself and then you wash your dress because the tag says you can wash and dry it but it doesn’t tell you that if you do wash and dry it then you will wash out all the pleats but only half way so it really just looks like a very evenly wrinkled dress. This is why we can’t have nice things.
