I’ll wait until the end of the month to do my big shopping roundup as usual, but I actually spent almost my entire budget on August 1. What can I say? I had just finished the Bar and I was ready to treat myself. I do a lot of online shopping, so it’s been awhile since I actually spent a day at the mall going from store to store trying things on. (It’s actually pretty fun. You should try it sometime. Sorry, Internet.)

But when I DO go on a big shopping excursion, I dress accordingly. Shoes that slip on and off easily; no jewelry that’s going to get caught in things; and preferably a dress like this one that zips so I don’t have to pull anything over my head and mess up my hair. OK, so the belt’s not that practical, but a girl has to accessorize, right? Right.

First of all, thanks to everyone who left me a “happy birthday” message on Wednesday. You could have wished happy birthday to Fidel Castro or Alfred Hitchcock, but you picked me, and I shall not forget your kindness.

I spent most of my birthday at home alone (just the way I like it), then put on this outfit to go out for a nice dinner to celebrate 29! Twenty-nine is the age that people tend to hang on to for a while. So now I worry when I tell people I’m 29 they’ll secretly be wondering if I’m actually 34 and just lying to them.

But I figured out how to avoid this problem. Here’s my plan: I’m just going to claim I’m 22 because (1) it’s still old enough to drink, (2) people don’t question that age, (3) I’m obviously very young-looking and it’s totally believable, and (4) Taylor Swift convinced me it’s a good age to be.

I’m going to claim I’m 22 until I’m 40, at which point it might be slightly less believable. Then I’ll claim I’m 50, and everyone will tell me how great I look for my age.

Great idea? Or the greatest idea? You get very wise at 29.
