Birthday girl!

The big day is finally here! Well, technically, I turn 21 in one hour! It's life changing, I know. One of the best things about birthdays is you can wear any ridiculous outfit and it's totally excusable because it's your birthday (21st birthdays especially)! Now I'm not one to look any sort of ridiculous except ridiculously good BUT I think I've picked out a pretty good outfit for my 21st. Keep in mind, I will be celebrating at home, in a small town, so while this look would be quite tame/nothing special for downtown Minneapolis, I can guarantee I will be the most overdressed person anywhere tomorrow night. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Because it's my birthday :)

Haha I tried my best to get exactly what I'm wearing in the Polyvore set, starting with my most favorite Juicy Couture silk dress. The picture does not do this lovely dress justice, there is so much detailing on the bodice that you can't see and the skirt is a little more flouncy. Anyway, I'm pairing it with this great black and white chevron blazer, which I couldn't find on Polyvore so this is a similar style just imagine it's chevron. I'll definitely be wearing my platform black heels, a simple necklace, pearl earrings, and some sort of large, cocktail ring. I'm all about the statement jewelry so most of my outfits include either a statement necklace or a statement ring, never both. I usually keep my earrings pretty simple! I included the clutch because I thought it was cute and looked good with the outfit. I will welcome this birthday with much more excitement than my last birthday - I was pretty upset that I was halfway to 40. I can't wait to celebrate with my family tomorrow night and all of my sorority sisters and friends at school once we're back from break! In the end, it's just another day but an important day nonetheless. Cheers to a new year and a new beginning!
