TwentyFINE Birthday Glow

I had an amazing birthday! I recently turned TwentyFINE... I mean 25. It’s so hard for me to believe I am in my mid twenties because I definitely feel like I just graduated high school. Growing up is such a crazy thing and time truly does fly. Our parents tell us all these things about how we shouldn’t rush growing up and man! They are so right! Can I please go back to the time when I was bill-free and care-free!

My birthday consisted of a surprise party that my friends threw me. It was so much fun and I was able to reconnect with so many old friends. I also had a BBQ that my Mom threw me! There was SO much good food! I'm a picky eater and my mom made sure all of my favorite foods were there! The BBQ ended with a firework show and we were all snuggled up by the fire pit. The weeks leading up to my birthday and after, were full of so many birthday dinners & desserts. Throughout all of my birthday activities I was surrounded by friends and family, who truly made me feel special and made my birthday so memorable. I am truly appreciative of everything.

So about this look! I always wanted these giant birthday number balloons! I always see everyone on social media with cute celebratory birthday pics, and the huge balloons as a major accent piece, and I wanted to be down! Little did I know they were so dang pricey for some balloons that are just going to deflate, and soon be trash. HOWEVER, I still had to have them! I mean after all 25 is a big birthday, I'm a quarter! So I was so thankful when I was surprised with them on my birthday. And in such a unique psychedelic color I had never seen before!

My outfit had to compliment the balloons, it couldn't be too flashy, and needed to be a solid color, so it didn't clash with the balloons. With everything that was going on with COVID-19 I honestly wasn't looking forward to my birthday initially. I just wasn't excited for it. So, I never went and got a special birthday outfit. For those of you who don't know, I am a slight shopaholic so I always have a never-ending supply of new clothes. Luckily for me, I was able to go through my stock pile of brand new items, and I found this dress. Which I think, went perfectly, and looked great. The mustard color is vibrant, complimented my skin tone, and made me feel like I was glowing! It even has the cutest bow details on the sleeves! I paired it with some gold and brown accessories and I had the perfect TwentyFINE look!

I'm so excited for this next chapter of my life. I really feel like great things are going to happen in this upcoming year. To all of my family and friends thank you again, for making 25 so special. Every phone call, card, gift, and even simple acknowledgment of my birthday was beyond appreciated. To everyone reading this, thank you so much for supporting. I truly appreciate everyone's presence throughout my 25 year journey. I have so much in store for all the years to come.
