It's my birthday week: what to wear

I love my birthday. Who doesn't remember my 11 days of giveaways last year? Well, I have been much too busy to plan a giveaway, but I do have something in store for March 11, so be looking. March 11 is Friday. My birthday. And I'm turning THIRTY.

Trying to find the perfect dress
I went shopping on Saturday morning to find my birthday dress. Afterall, you only turn 30 once. I was FREAKING OUT trying to find a dress. And I HATE shopping. I am busy every night this week, so really it was my only time to find something. I couldn't find ANYTHING.

Surprise!
After all the freaking out, my family threw me a surprise party on Saturday night. What an emotional day. I was in shock for a good 4 hours. Everyone needs to be surprised at least once in their life. And only once...
The outfit
So on Sunday, two of my best girlfriends decided that I really shouldn't freak out anymore and they went shopping with me. I found the dress (birthday dress) at Forever 21. It is perfect. It's red. It's comfortable. The shoes (DSW) were more expensive than the dress, but they are also perfect and comfortable. Red dress. Gray shoes. Score. Full-length pics? You'll have to wait for those.

Jewelry
Swarovski earrings, oh so long.

A matching bracelet? Yes, please.


Putting it all together
I will post pics after my birthday bash. Did you know I have a birthday on Friday?

  2. Yes, I did know you had a birthday on Friday :) March 11, of course! Kate and I were just discussing the friends whose birthdays we will never forget. I had been dreading 30, but now that it's here, I really don't care! Enjoy Rach!
