Earlier this month we headed down to Bloomington to surprise our friend Abi on her 30th birthday. We lived down the hall from each other freshman year of college. According to math, that was 12 years ago, but I’m skeptical.

Luckily, the weekend was 100% celebrating the milestone and 0% having a third-life crisis. Abi is totally kicking 30’s ass. She can still do the splits and everything. I don’t plan on turning 30 myself, but Abi was a good role model nonetheless.

Anywho, this is what I wore for a night on the town, full of lots of college reminiscing. It was like we were young again, except classier and with a lower tolerance for alcohol.

I love fall. I love navy. I love leopard print. I love new jackets. I love red lipstick. There were a lot of things I liked happening on this day. It also happened to be Saturday, and who doesn’t love Saturday? I did a little bit of “recon work” at the mall, meaning I went and tried some things on and made notes of what I want to get when there’s a good sale (and when I have a good income). Then I tried out a new restaurant in Broad Ripple called Hopcat. They have something called “crack fries,” and now that I’ve tried them let me just say: I had no idea crack was so delicious. I totally understand why people do it now. Let’s go ahead and add crack to the above list of things I love. Maybe I’ll add it to the “Interests” section of my résumé.
