JULY 9th MY BIRTHDAY
Alex had too much partying!
Jack wanted to party all night long!
So, now I am 35... I felt old before, now I feel even older now that it is official!!
I had a wonderful birthday. We went out for my favorite Mexican food for dinner...YUM! After dinner we went home for cake and presents. I ate so much sweets this weekend...must detox. My boys made me the cutest cards and gave me a gift certificate for a massage, they picked it out themselves. I must thank my husband for taking care of the boys this weekend so I could relax for my birthday...that was the best present ever! I wore my new maxi dress for our fiesta...I am not sure it I like the look on me. The large was a little baggy in the chest...never thought I would be typing that... Next time I think I might try to style it with a tank top under and a chunky necklace. I liked how comfy it was, so I am not giving up on the maxi dress yet.
I usually love my birthday, but this year I am finding it a little depressing...
Worn to work Friday, July 8
Friday was a very long day. Drove an hour to drop the kids at camp...two hours to Milwaukee for a three hour meeting...two hours back to the office...then two hours to get home...LONG DAY...good thing the Alien is good on gas! Since I was going to be doing a lot of sitting, I wanted to be comfortable and this dress fits the bill. I once wore this leopard cardi, yellow necklace combo before and remember really liking how it looked, so I threw it on again.
Hope everyone had a great weekend and your Monday is treating you well...so far!

I think the maxi dress looks great on you! It's weird, I was just noticing that Target's sizing seems to be a bit smaller than it has been, but you're finding it too big. I used to be able to go in and buy everything in the same size there. Sigh.
I really like your Friday work outfit! I love all the colorful accessories, especially that yellow necklace!
I refuse to believe that I'm only a few years away from being old, so I'll say that 35 isn't old! Really, it isn't! Glad you had a fun birthday!
Awww don't be depressed! It'll still be years and years before you're old! ;)
I almost always have to wear a tank under any maxi dress or sundress due to the big girls I've got and the fact that I don't like having them on display all the time. lol
I love both of your outfits! Especially the grey dress with the leopard cardi and bright accessories. You look great!
That maxi dress is STUNNING on you. I love it! I'm so glad you're not giving up on it yet because it's really fantastic!
I love your Friday outfit too, with the animal print and pop of yellow. So cute!
Don't be depressed about 35. That's not old. Old is 90. You're YOUNG!
Come take a look inside A Working Mom's Closet
Happy belated birthday! I am loooving both these dresses!!! And I really really want that yellow necklace from the second outfit.
I'm definitely going to pick up the second dress from Target, but I'm a little concerned about the wrap bottom. I haven't seen anyone complain about it, though, so it must not fly open, huh?
Happy happy birthday! LOVE that shade of purple on you and grey + yellow is always a WIN in my book. :)
Sorry you found your birthday to be depresing this year. Getting older is a fact of life, try to not let it get to you (Easier said than done, I know). Anyway, you look super pretty in this maxi dress! Happy birthday!

Happy birthday! I really like the purple maxi dress. The color looks great on you.
Happy belated birthday! You look gorgeous in that purple maxi--that is a great color on you! I also love how you added brights to the gray/leopard print in Friday's look. Hope it was a great weekend!
Happy late birthday! I seriously cannot think of a better way to celebrate than with Mexican food.
