^^This is when I tried to casually cross one leg over the other and then I sort of fell and tried to cover it like it’s what I meant to do all along.

^^Boom. Nailed it.

One of my blogger friends (well, in my head we’re friends…I’ve never met her) posted recently about how we should make personal style about experimenting and having fun, and not just about sticking to a particular aesthetic. Amen, sister, and thanks for the reminder. Sometimes I think at my age I should have a particular look that I stick to, and I feel discouraged when I can’t figure out exactly what that look is. Am I stripes girl? Bright colors girl? Slightly edgy but also girly girl? Should I not call myself “girl” when I’m over 30? I have many unanswered questions.

Lately I’ve been feeling very me in neutral clothes with statement shoes/accessories, but that doesn’t mean it’s the only thing I can wear. At least I hope it isn’t, because I’ve got a closet full of crazy colors and prints that have plenty of life left in them. So for today, this is my personal style. Tomorrow? Who knows…follow my blog so you can find out. 😉

It’s hard to believe I was walking around with bare legs only 10 days ago, and now I’m trying to get my pipes to unfreeze and crossing my fingers my car will start in the morning. Ugh. Well, I’ll have plenty of time to think about cold weather because it’s going to be in the teens and below all week. So instead let’s just relive this lovely day in North Carolina, which just happened to be my mom’s birthday.

Birthday girls get to pick the activities, and here’s what my mom came up with: Seeing a fashion exhibit at the NC Museum of Art (which I highly recommend if you’re in the Raleigh area), eating brunch, having drinks at home on the deck, taking a nap, then having a pajama party complete with Netflix binging (season 2 of The Crown), cauliflower crust pizza (made from scratch by me and my dad), cake pops, and champagne.

I mean, it was basically my dream birthday. They make those quizzes that tell you what age you “really” are, but I don’t need to take one because now I know I’m 67. Don’t I look amazing though?
