21!

 Top & Shoes - Topshop
Skirt, Jewellery & Sunglasses - Vintage
Handbag - Versace

If you've seen my last post you know I turned 21 on Sunday (I'm getting old!) and I spent the afternoon getting cake with friends, before hitting a pub for a chilled round or two. I was (obviously) overdressed for a Sunday in Harborne, but if you can't dress up on your birthday then when can you?! I went retro-fabulous and felt a bit like a cross between a ballet dancer and a 50s film star - which is never a bad combination! All of these items are probably some of my favourites, especially the vintage jewellery because it has lasted sixty-odd years by now and I hope in another sixty I'll still be wearing it. 

I'm trying not to get too reflective, but of course another year has passed and I am definitely an adult now - I can even drink in America - and I feel as though I really am growing up. I've started preferring bars and pubs to clubs, cocktails and wine to vodka or tequila, and classic styles to print clashes. I suppose it's just natural progression, and of course I am still young, but it is definitely time to wave goodbye to my teens and try not to freak out about getting close to thirty!
