I thought I’d give you a quick post about what I wore for my birthday yesterday. I decided that 33 is going to be really jam packed with color and sparkle so yesterday I went for a color explosion.
I kind of love this entire outfit. It made me feel so girly. I was inspired by Fabulously Average’s post with a lovely pleated skirt. So I decided I needed to finally make my first purchase from Asos and I bought this pleated skirt from Asos and had a discount code so I paid about $25 for it. YAY! It paired perfectly with this silky bubble tank I picked up a few weeks ago on sale at Filene’s Basement (I’ve decided I need more colorful and feminine blouses to pair with all of my cardigans). I added a silver snakeskin belt and a soft lime green cardigan just so I wouldn’t be so bare at work. And because the back of my tank is actually a very vivid bright blue jersey, I had to put on my new blue shoes.
A birthday outfit needs to be worn with birthday shoes, right? So fun and flirty. I did wear Kelly green ballet flats though for the commute – I am not going to walk the streets of DC in 4 inch heels. My accessories were minimal, 2 bangles and a vintage watch turned into a necklace that my husband also gave me for my birthday. Yesterday was a great day, I loved all the comments, tweets and I got a lot of Facebook messages and I definitely felt the love.
So for 33 I’m going colorful and sparkly, what are you going to be wearing this year?

I love the shoes, (always my downfall) those would even look cute with jeans. The skirt very pretty and I really like the way you used your sweater to bring out the little bits of green from the blouse.

Love the color combination! And your orange walls are the perfect backdrop! Happy belated birthday, fellow Virgo 😉
Such a cute birthday girl! That colorful outfit + the orange wall = a picture that should be framed somewhere in your house 😉
