Rewind to My Birthday Party!

Let's talk about a last minute party! I am such a hot mess you guys. I changed my birthday plans so many times. Literally like 5 days before I decided to throw a birthday get together. I always wanted to have a game night/party, but I didn't think anyone would be able to come or would even want to... Man was I in for a surprise! Even with the short notice my family and friends came and showed out! I need to stop underestimating the amount of love that I have around me. Honestly, I had a rough few weeks prior, which explains the last minute birthday planning. So, this outpour of  support and love for me and my special day was just what I needed.

So let's talk about this look! Everything that I am wearing was already sitting in my closet brand new. My name is Shamira and I am a shopaholic. I actually ordered a bunch of stuff and none of it was working for me. So out of nowhere I stumbled on this top that was sitting in my drawer with the tags still on. I knew I had this skirt... that was also brand new with the tags attached. I tried it on together and then bam perfect outfit!  At the beginning of June I went into dollar tree and they were stocking a bunch of sashes, and of course I just had to get all the ones that had to do with "birthdays." Did I mention I was a shopaholic? While my compulsive shopping habits probably aren't the best for my pockets, it definitely comes in handy for times like this!

This look was honestly the easiest for me to put together everything just worked perfectly. Which was great because this last minute party had me worried I had nothing to wear. Yes "nothing to wear" despite my closet full of brand new clothes. The only thing that wasn't brand new were the shoes. Do you recognize them? I actually wore them once last year on my 25th birthday! I got so many compliments on them this year! Seeing that I had on all black the gold accents on the shoes drew your eyes and gave my outfit the perfect extra touch.

Last minute party and a last minute outfit! For everything to be so last minute it was truly a perfect day. We ate food, had drinks, played games, and shared so many laughs. It was great to catch up with friends, and get so many people that I love in one space. It was nothing but positive vibes and great energy, and I loved it. It was the perfect start to my birthday!
