I turned 22 yesterday. As a child I wasn’t super big into birthdays, but as an adult I realize that I am for sure not getting any younger and I had better enjoy these birthdays while I am young!
Skirt: J. Crew Collection Via Goodwill/Top: H&M/Tights: American Apparel Note: I fixed the top to where the violet didn’t show. I was so mad I didn’t catch that when we took these photos. |
I bought this skirt at Goodwill for $6 earlier this year and it was a J. Crew Collection skirt. Let me say that again, I got a J. Crew Collection for $6 at Goodwill. I was so excited when I bought it but I haven’t had the excuse to wear it yet. I figure birthdays are a go big or go home type of event and completely worthy of sequins and some bold color. The actual skirt has a lot of purple and violet tones but I saw almost an identical skirt on a mannequin in NYC and it paired cobalt with it.
As you may have seen in this post, I majorly wanted a Jayhawk ice cream cake. As the boyfriend always does, he came through and got me exactly what I wanted. It was freaking delicious.
Saturday evening we went out to dinner with my family for dinner and then we joined the boyfriends family for dessert. This cake was super delicious. |
This upcoming weekend I will be also celebrating so I will be sure to share photos from that!
