When did it become socially unacceptable for an adult to celebrate their birthday? There's such a stigma with getting older that we've started hiding the day that represents it. Almost like, if no one knows you're a year older then it might actually not happen? It's just a number, people. Today, my number is 35. I'm okay with it. I've accomplished many of my life goals and haven't totally fallen apart doing it. 35 is the new 25, right?
This birthday, I'm going to throw myself a party, dance like a teenager (minus the grinding) and wear a birthday crown so everyone knows who the birthday girl is. It's one day. My day! So wish me, "Happy Birthday". Of course, I have to have the perfect outfit for my party. Something that says, "I'm a grown up, but I'm not old yet!" Something that is sexy, but not too revealing. Something that is fashionable, but I can still dance the night away in. I got this. Over the knee, block heel boots paired with a fit and flare dress that has an inverted triangle cut out at the rib cage. Check.
This look didn't just come to me in my birthday dreams. I shopped long and hard for it and lucked out at one of my favorite local boutiques, Expressly Trends. I've shopped there for years. They used to be located in the basement of another boutique on Fore Street in Portland, ME. You almost had to go searching for all their amazing pieces. Now, they have one of the most prime locations (street level) on Exchange Street and it's always the first place I pop into when I'm looking for something "on trend" that I can actually afford. Thank you Expressly Trends for my "birthday suit".

It's not the end of the world. It's my birthday. I look forward to celebrating with my friends and family, in style. I hope you do the same on your big day!
