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!

A Paisley Romance

Target, you did it again. You dangled a $25 dress in front of my face and made me buy it. But come on…it’s paisley. How could I not? It’s so adorable and comfy that I wanted to wear it all day at work and into the evening (hence the change of shoes in hand). I was also thinking it will look really cute in the fall with tall socks and my equestrian style brown boots. My relationship with this dress is clearly getting pretty serious. It was love at first sight and I’m already planning for our future together. Luckily, we have a quirky meet-cute to tell everyone about: “Would you believe it, Ethel?! We met at Target!” (For some reason I imagine having this conversation over tea with an old lady named Ethel, who is also wearing paisley.)
