OOTD: It’s My Birthday!
It’s my birthday! Today I’m feeling 22, because that’s how old I am (sorry, I’ve been waiting to be able post that joke!) I couldn’t resist getting a little dressed up to celebrate and, of course, share it with you. Unfortunately the weather is absolutely terrible today, and I only managed a couple of snaps before it started tipping it down with rain – so please forgive the quality!
I had some fun posing with these Winnie the Pooh balloons from Poundland. I added some bright pink ribbon and felt like a child to heading their birthday party! I knew that I wanted to wear my amazing skirt from Topshop on my birthday. I’ve had this Limited Edition skirt on my wishlist since it arrived on the website, and as soon as I saw that it had been reduced by over 50% in the sale, it headed straight to my basket. I adore the fun, bright shapes and the A-line is perfect for that nipped-in waist look – although it does make my bum look big! The quality is fantastic and I love anything mint coloured, and anything with pockets is always a winner. The colour doesn’t show very well in these photos but check out my Instagram photo of the skirt to get a better idea of how pretty the colours are.
Today I teemed it with a plain cropped jumper from Asos. I thought the navy blue complimented the mint green and I didn’t want to distract from the eye-catching skirt, so I kept my top half simple. Finally, I added a pair of metallic heels and a statement necklace to add some extra glamour – if you can’t dress up on your birthday, when can you?
