Twenty Three

You are now looking at the face of a 23 year old! Yup, my birthday was on Friday and I am now the age that will be forever immortalized by Mark, Tom and Travis.

I had an absolutely wonderful, jam-packed birthday weekend! On Friday night I went down to Providence, RI to see my friend's band play their first show. They were great! Saturday, I went out with several of my girlfriends and then they all slept over my apartment and on Sunday I got a manicure and then went thrifting. AKA basically had a dream weekend. The thrift gods were gooood to me too. I'm a bit sleepy on this Monday though as I stayed up pretty late watching TV last night, but what can you do?
Here's a bit of a casual Summer outfit for you today. With Fall just around the corner (tears), I am trying to get as much last minute wear out of my Summer clothes as possible... hence these floral shorts. I love the pattern on these ones, and I also love the fact that they are not too short. I paired 'em with a vintage top for some good old fashion print mixing; the fact that there are similar blue tones in both the top and shorts keeps the pairing from looking too disjointed. The look is topped off with some vintage woven flats, my basket bag and a chunky vintage necklace and a bunch of bracelets (an "arm party" as my friend Sarah would call it). My friend Kaitlin actually made several of the bracelets as a birthday gift. They are lovely and I am lucky to have so many great friends in my life!
