I don’t know about you guys, but I still find gifts special even when I pick them out myself. On my birthday, I asked Kristin to take me shopping and let me pick out something at J. Crew. I had a few things in mind, tried them all on and did a mini fashion show, then Kristin helped me pick out what I should get! She picked this skirt, and I must say she has excellent taste. I mean, I do look pretty adorable in it. 😉

Even though this skirt was far from a surprise, I will always remember it was a gift from my favorite human (if only because I just wrote a blog post about it). Just like the human, the skirt is fun, playful, colorful, and perfect for every season! And yes, I will take that as a personal challenge to remix this skirt for fall, winter, and spring. Stay tuned.

This is an outfit I’ve had in my head for months but I just never found the “right” occasion to wear it. Bell sleeves and bell bottoms? It had to be done. So on the day before my birthday I said “screw it” and I wore it to work. That meant wearing a white tank under the crop top so I wouldn’t flash anyone, but that didn’t really take away from the overall awesomeness that is having bells on every limb of your body.

My only regret from last Friday has nothing to do with my outfit – it’s the amount of queso I ate at dinner. I’m fairly confident that when these photos were taken, my body was 70% cheese.
