What I Wore: Birthday Girl

I’m back! I’ve really missed sharing pieces of my life with all of you this past week – something that always seems to happen when I take a break from the blog, but it’s a necessary evil at times. I celebrated a milestone birthday a little over a week ago, and I must say, it was a difficult one to swallow. I had a rough few days leading up to it, but have decided to try my best to embrace it. And naturally that started by wearing a kick ass outfit that definitely did not read old lady. I was meeting with my family for a birthday dinner at PF Changs so I wanted to look casual, but still rock my birthday girl status. Warning: I’m pretty sure I will live in these shorts for the rest of the year (a plus side to living in South Florida: never ending summer weather). They are slinky, light and oh so fabulous! Plus they can be paired with any neutral tee for a perfectly effortless look. I added my favorite pair of sky-high wedges and I was ready to party!

{30 Days of Fashion}: Day 28

January 28th, 2011:

Tunic; gifted
Skinny jeans; Target
Platform wedges; Go Jane

Something really great that comes from living a digital lifestyle and plastering my favorite items on the Internets, is that all my friends and family members know exactly what to get me during holidays. This fun tunic was a gift from my mother-in-law for my birthday a couple of years back. I love the colors and the print, and how beautiful it looks paired with dark jeans. I was especially excited that it went perfectly with my new favorite pair of shoes from Go Jane! Described by my supervisor as “mummy shoes,” they are the most fun (and comfortable) pair of platform wedges I have ever seen! Don’t they look just like the Jeffrey Campbell’s that are covering all the hippest fashion blogs, but with a way more affordable price tag.

{30 Days of Fashion}: Day 6

January 6th, 2011

Sweater tunic; Forever 21
Jeggings; Nordstrom Rack
Striped Wedges; H&M

Yeah, I rock jeggings. And what?
I really don’t understand all the hate surrounding jeggings. I love my pair so much, I went out and got another a month later just so I am always stocked. I think they are a great alternative to skinny jeans, if you are looking for comfort and they look spectacular with tunic tops when paired with heels like I did yesterday.

I adore the vibrant color of this sweater top, and although you can’t see it in the photos, it has this punk-y exposed zipper all along the back. Bad assery. Finally, I really love wedges, but am I the only one that struggles to keep them on? My feet always slip out the back of all my pairs to the point that I walk funny while I’m wearing them because I have to make sure my toes are gripped to the edge. This pair is no different, but I could not help myself. Look how cute they are!

ps; it’s really time for us to put away our Christmas tree, dontcha think? 😉
