Full Disclosure: Today is not my birthday.
I wore this outfit last week for a childhood (and obviously adulthood) friend's birthday dinner. It was at the Caltech Athenaeum (very fancy) and it was a fun evening filled with delicious foods and desserts.
But does anyone else miss this?
Or this?
Let's face it, birthday parties growing up were a big deal. I mean, a really big deal. But after age 21, they sort of just become a reminder that we're getting older. I miss the days when you got to carry embarrassingly large balloons around school (which once got me stuck in a bathroom stall), then go home and play flashlight tag with your friends all night.
Maybe age 25 is the year to resurrect old-school birthday parties. Watch for my Cinderella invitation in the mail next October. You have six months to dig up your old Care Bears sleeping bag. Ready, go!
How did you celebrate birthdays growing up?
love the color combination! so cute photos :))

what a cute post. Gosh, I loved birthday parties as a kid...it was just full of fun and excitement. I had a pinata one year and it was probably one of the funnest things I did...
ReplyDeletebut you're right, after age 21, the birthdays seem to be an odd reminder of what we are "losing" in youth and "gaining" in age. But, maybe it doesn't have to be that way...aren't we as old as we feel? =)
Pretty look btw...love a good combination of blues!

I sure do wish we still got cupcakes for our birthdays! You look fabulous

I must admit, I work at a preschool, and still get the pleasure of 15 four-year-olds singing to me, along with a mommy bringing in cupcakes. ;) I can't complain!
ReplyDeleteA good, old-fashioned pajama party sure does sound fun, though!

ReplyDeleteI miss sleepovers! But yea, after awhile, you just don't want to be reminded that you're getting older. Love your outfit, the colors are perfect on you!
