Closet Shopping: My Birthday Suit


 

This is the first year of my adult life that I didn't buy myself something new to wear on my birthday. So last night, before Kyle took me out to Justus Drugstore — our special occasion place — I had a hard time finding something in my closet I wanted to wear. Over the last few years, I've given away so many clothes, I really felt like I had nothing but dresses and t-shirts left. But it was too cold for a dress so I went with jeans and a flowy linen and lace top that could (and probably someday will) be a maternity shirt. For now, it does a great job of concealing my food baby.

I did end up wearing one new thing: the sweet harmonica necklace my friend Diddy (not that Diddy) got me for my birthday. I promised Kyle I wouldn't play it in the restaurant, but I may have drunkenly played it in the cab on the way home. Maybe.

Photo of the Day: Bitter Old Coot



No, this pricey cocktail from Justus Drugstore is not in my budget, but someone bought it for me, so that doesn't count, right? Right. Plus, as of last year, this drink is my new birthday tradition.

This is going to get a lot harder when people stop buying me birthday drinks.
